Changing the number or protons would change the element is an element loses an electron it becomes an ion but if it loses a proton the element its self-changes
eg. calcium has 20 protons if it loses on it becomes potassium that has 19 protons.

Hope that helps :)

Complete these equations for the ionization of an Arrhenius acid or base in water. Include the states of the products.

Mazyrski [523]

1)
HI(aq) → H⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)
So this is an Arrhenius acid because it releases H⁺.

2)
LiOH(s) → Li⁺ + OH⁻
So this is an Arrhenius base because it releases OH⁻

If it requires 48.3 milliliters of 0.55 molar nitric acid to neutralize 15.0 milliliters of barium hydroxide, solve for the mola

Gemiola [76]

First you have to moles so multiply .0483L X .55M= .026565 Multiply moles by mole ratio which is 1/2, so the moles becomes .013283 now molarity=moles/volume; divide .013283/.015L=.885533M significant figures and you final answer is 0.89M

dusya [7]

Answer: The final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
