What would a general formula of an acid always start with? ( 1 point)

1 answer:

4 0

A general formula of an acid always start with an hydronium ion or H+. The general formula of an acid have to end with an anion. As acids, these compounds are named starting with the prefix "hydro-," then adding the first syllable of the anion, then the suffix "-ic."

How to find how many electrons are in an element

Murljashka [212]

Explanation:

1) Locate the atomic number in the upper left corner of the square. The atomic number will tell you the number of protons

2) In a neutral state, the element will contain the same number of protons as it will electrons.

--> Boron (B) has an atomic number of 5, so it has 5 protons.

--> Having 5 protons (+1 charge each) means to be balanced, it must have 5 electrons (-1 charge each)

However, what if it's not in a neutral state?

If it's not in a neutral state, it will look something like this:

Ca ^ 2+

<em>Btw, the "^" means that it will be written like it's an exponent. That confuses people sometimes.</em>

Anyways, the "2+" means it's an ion with a positive charge of 2. For us to have a positive charge, it means it's lost two electrons (cause electrons are negative, so taking them away means we are left with a more positive charge).

To get the number of remaining electrons, subtract the 2 from the atomic mass. In this case, that would be 20.

20 - 2 = 18 electrons

Another example:

N ^3-

Atomic Number: 7

7 + 3 = 10 electrons.

Why did I add here instead of subtracting? It's cause the 3- means we have added electrons, resulting in the ion having a negative charge. It's got more electrons than usual.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

A 21.0 kg child is running at a velocity of 2.50 m/s. The child is carrying a 2.25 kg gallon of milk. What is the momentum of th

KIM [24]

Answer: The momentum of the child and milk together is 58.125 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of object's mass and velocity.

Mathematically,

$p=mv$

where, p = momentum

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

In the given question, we are given that a child of mass 21.0 kg is carrying a gallon of milk having mass 2.25 kg and running with a velocity of 2.5 m/s. Hence, the momentum by both milk and child will be:

$p=(m_{child}+m_{milk})v$ ....(1)

Given:

$m_{child}=21.0kg\\m_{milk}=2.25kg\\v=2.5m/s\\p=?kg.m/s$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$p=(21+2.25)kg\times 2.5m/s=58.125kg.m/s$

Hence, the momentum of the child and milk together is 58.125 kg.m/s

If the length of a string increases 2 times but the mass of the string remains constant, the new density of the string will equa

Genrish500 [490]

If the length of a string increases 2 times but the mass of the string remains constant, the original density will be multiplied by a factor mathematically given as

v=1.414 times

<h3>Will the new density of the string equal the original density multiplied by what factor?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the volume is mathematically given as

v = sqt(TL/m)

Where

density = mass/length

Therefore

$v2/v1 = \sqrt{L2/L1}$

$v2/v1 = \sqrt{2}$

In conclusion,v ratio will give us

v=1.414 times
