Why are protons in an atom so important

1 answer:

5 0

A proton is one of the most important types of subatomic particles. Protons combine with electrons and (usually) neutrons to make atoms. Protons also play a significant role in the atom because the tendency for an atom to either lose, gain or share electrons is dependent upon the charge of the nucleus. Therefore, we can say that the chemical reactivity of an atom is dependent upon the number of electrons and protons, and independent of the number of neutrons.

What is the molarity of HCl if 34.81 mL of a solution of HCl contain 0.3297 g of HCl?

Temka [501]

Answer:

0.2598 M

Explanation:

Molarity is mol/L, so we have to convert the grams to moles and the mL to L. To convert between grams and moles you need the molar mass of the compound, which is 36.46g/mol.

$0.3297gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.46gHCL} = 0.00904279 mol HCl$

$34.81 mLHCl * \frac{1L}{1000L} = 0.03481 L HCl$

$\frac{0.00904279molHCl}{0.03481 L HCl} = 0.25977554 mol/L$

Round to the lowest number of significant figures = 0.2598 M

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473mL. What is the new pressure of gas?

Ratling [72]

Hello!

1.00 L of a gas at STP is compressed to 473 mL. What is the new pressure of gas?

We have the following data:

Vo (initial volume) = 1.00 L

V (final volume) = 473 mL → 0.473 L

Po (initial pressure) = 1 atm (pressure exerted by the atmosphere - in STP)

P (final pressure) = ? (in atm)

We have an isothermal transformation, that is, its temperature remains constant, if the volume of the gas in the container decreases, so its pressure increases. Applying the data to the equation Boyle-Mariotte, we have:

$P_0*V_0 = P*V$
