how does the structure of atoms (i.e. protons, neutron, and electrons) affect the electric charge of an object or substance.

1 answer:

8 0

Electrons contribute greatly to the atom's charge, as each electron has a negative charge equal to the positive charge of a proton. Scientists define these charges as “+1” and “-1. ” In an uncharged, neutral atom, the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus is equal to the number of protons inside the nucleus.:

How fast is an electron travelling If it has a wavelength of 8.20 km?

Lemur [1.5K]

The electron is travelling with a velocity of 1.123 × 10⁷m/s if it has a wavelength of 8.20 km.

<h3>How to calculate velocity of an electron?</h3>

The velocity at which an electron travels can be calculated using the following formula:

λ = h/mv

Where;

H = Planck's constant
m = mass of electron
v = velocity of electron
λ = wavelength

Planck's constant (h) = 6.626 × 10−³⁴ J⋅s.
mass of electron (m) = 9.109 × 10−³¹ kg
wavelength = 8200m

8200 = 6.626×10−³⁴ / 9.109 × 10−³¹V

8200 = 7.3 × 10-⁴V

V = 8200 ÷ 7.3 × 10-⁴

V = 1.123 × 10⁷m/s

Therefore, the electron is travelling with a velocity of 1.123 × 10⁷m/s if it has a wavelength of 8.20 km.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of nickel (II) oxide and aluminium that must be used is 18.8 g and 4.54 g respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For nickel:</u>

Given mass of nickel = 14.8 g

Molar mass of nickel = 58.7 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of nickel}=\frac{14.8g}{58.7g/mol}=0.252mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$3NiO(s)+2Al(s)\rightarrow 3Ni(l)+Al_2O_3(s)$

<u>For nickel (II) oxide:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nickel are produced from 3 moles of nickel (II) oxide

So, 0.252 moles of nickel will be produced from $\frac{3}{3}\times 0.252=0.252mol$ of nickel (II) oxide

Now, calculating the mass of nickel (II) oxide by using equation 1:

Molar mass of nickel (II) oxide = 74.7 g/mol

Moles of nickel (II) oxide = 0.252 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.252mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nickel (II) oxide}}{74.7g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nickel (II) oxide}=(0.252mol\times 74.7g/mol)=18.8g$

<u>For aluminium:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of nickel are produced from 2 moles of aluminium

So, 0.252 moles of nickel will be produced from $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.252=0.168mol$ of aluminium

Now, calculating the mass of aluminium by using equation 1:

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Moles of aluminium = 0.168 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.168mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aluminium}}{27g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aluminium}=(0.168mol\times 27g/mol)=4.54g$

Hence, the mass of nickel (II) oxide and aluminium that must be used is 18.8 g and 4.54 g respectively.

An electrolytic cell is set up to plate Zr(s) from a solution containing Zr4 (aq). A current of 7.92 amps is run through this so

iren [92.7K]

The mass of Zr deposited in the process is 41.4 g.

<h3>What is electrolytic cell?</h3>

An electrolytic cell is a chemical cell which produces electrical energy by non-spontaneous chemical processes.

From the question;

Zr^4+(aq) + 4e ------> Zr(s)

We know that;

91 g of Zr is deposited by 4(96500) C

xg of Zr is deposited by (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C

xg = 91 g × (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C/4(96500) C

x g = 41.4 g

The chemical reaction in which solid calcium oxide is treated liquid water is an example of what: A) decomposition B)combustion

laiz [17]

Answer:

The chemical reaction in which solid calcium oxide is treated liquid water is an example of Synthesis reaction. Hence, the answer is (D) Synthesis.

Explanation:

The formula of Calcium Oxide is CaO.

The formula of liquid water is H₂O.

Calcium Oxide reacts with water and forms Calcium Hydroxide. The Chemical equation is shown below.

CaO + H₂O --> Ca(OH)₂.

This is a Synthesis reaction because Ca(OH)₂ is synthesized by using Calcium Oxide and water.

The product of this reaction is calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime.

Thus, when calcium oxide reacts with water, slaked lime is produced.

Calcium oxide is also known as lime and is most commonly used for many purposes. It can be used for pH correction of water or for its disinfection (with excess lime).
