Answer:

it means positive and negative charges are equal.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

when a neutral atom loses a electron positive charge is created because number of protons are positive charge becomes greater than negative charge.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

When a neutral atom accept the electron negative charge is created because negative charge is become greater than positive charge.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Which description correctly states the difference between a chemical and a physical property? A) Physical properties can only be

kolezko [41]

Answer:

C) Physical properties can be observed without changing into a new substance, while chemical properties are usually observable during a chemical reaction when a new substance is made.

Explanation:

Physical Change

The changes that occur only due to change in shape or physical properties but their chemical or internal composition remain unchanged.

These changes were reversible.

They have same chemical property.

These changes can be observed with naked eye.

Example :

Water converting to Ice

Water converting to gas

In this water molecule remain the same only they rearrange themselves that change its state of mater not composition

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:

H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O (l)

Which of the following would be classified as an acid to the Arrhenius definition

mixer [17]

Any substance that increases the concentration of $H^+$ in aqueous solutions is Arrhenius's acid.

<h3>What are Arrhenius acids?</h3>

Arrhenius define acids as substances with the chemical capacities to increase the concentration of hydrogen ion in aqueous solutions.

Thus, substances like HCl, HNO3, HBr, etc. would be considered an acid. This is because they ionize in aqueous solutions as follows:

HCl ---> $H^+$ + $Cl^-$

$HNO_3 --- > H^+ + NO_3^-$

$HBr --- > H^+ + Br^-$

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

28%

Explanation:

Basically, all o did was write the equations, balance it and solve for them. Also, at the place I stared, I used simultaneous equation to solve it. Multiplying by 8 and also 3.

It's a pretty straightforward question.

At the final step that's missing, I Did

(y)C3H8 = 2.8 / ( 2.8 + 7.1)

(y)C3H8 = 0.28
