The Calcium atom has 2 valence electrons but a Calcium ion will have no electrons because it is a cation ion. Meaning that there are more protons than electrons. Also, the normal calcium symbol is Ca but the calcium ion is Ca²⁺
I hope this wasn't too late
They did not repeat their tests multiple times.
Reason being is using the same stopwatch doesn’t matter and changing the reactants won’t help, and you without a doubt need more than one person collecting the data so,
They did not repeat their tests multiple times is the answer.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.
This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.
In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.
We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.
Thus, we can conclude that equation
represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.
(1) a beta particle is your answer. Na-24 decays through beta decay, turning a neutron into a proton, electron (beta particle), and an neutrino.
