The charge of a proton and the charge of all electron has (4) the same magnitude and the opposite sign

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Inside the atom consists of a nucleus containing 3 basic particles namely protons and neutrons, while electrons circulate the nucleus on a particular path so that electrons are not attracted to the nucleus.

The charge of these three atomic particles is based on the Rutherford experiment. Rutherford experimented with firing alpha rays on a thin gold plate. From this experiment it was found that:

1. Most alpha rays are passed through the gold plate, so it is concluded that most of the space in the atom has empty space

2. A small number of alpha particles deflected shows there are positively charged particles inside the atom

(at this time these particles are called protons located in the atomic nucleus)

From here comes the Rutherford atomic model which states that atoms consist of positively charged particles (protons) and negatively charged electrons around the nucleus.

The charge of 1 proton is equal to a charge of 1 electron, but the sign is different.

The proton is positively charged (+1), the electron is negatively charged (-1). and neutrons not charged (neutral)

Charge of 1 electron = e = -1.66.10⁻¹⁹ coulomb

Whereas the neutron charge = 0

Answer: option (4) the same magnitude and the opposite sign.

Justification:

1) Electrons are negative particles thar are around the nucleus of the atom (in regions called orbitals).


2) Protons are positive particles that are inside the nuclus of the atom.


3) The nucleus of the atom has the same number of protons as electrons are in the orbitals of the atom.


4) The atoms are neutral (neither positive nor negative) because there are the same number of electrons and protons and their charge are of the same magnitude but different sign: (+) + (-) = 0: positive + negative = neutral.

Which of the following statements is true about the specific heat capacity of a substance?

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a local physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include temperature, T; refractive index, n; density, ρ; and hardness of an object,specific heat, η.

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter. Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, specific heat and many others.

Calculate for the following electrochemical cell at 25°C, Pt H2(g) (1.0 atm) H (0.010 M || Ag (0.020 M) Ag if E (H) - +0.000 V a

viva [34]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) +0.799 V

Solution :

The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:

$E^0_{[H^{+}/H_2]}=+0.00V$

$E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.799V$

From the cell representation we conclude that, the hydrogen (H) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $H_2\rightarrow 2H^{+}+2e^-$

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $Ag^{+}+1e^-\rightarrow Ag$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$H_2+2Ag^{+}\rightarrow 2H^{+}+2Ag$

Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[H^{+}/H_2]}$

$E^o_{cell}=(+0.799V)-(+0.00V)=+0.799V$

Therefore, the standard cell potential will be +0.799 V

Brian is testing to see how much water plants need. Why is it important that Brian includes a control group? A) To observe wheth

bija089 [108]

Answer: B or C

Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.

Why do we need an isolated system for the law of conservation of mass to be true?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
