They are held in the atom by the positive charge of the nucleus. ... An atom that gains or loses an electron becomes an ion. If it gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

Answer:

Cl_2+2NaI\rightarrow I_2+2NaCl

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, Cl2 replaces iodine in NaI in order to produce I2 and NaCl:

Cl_2+NaI\rightarrow I_2+NaCl

It is possible to realize how chlorine replaces iodine in agreement with the single displacement reaction. Moreover, since chlorine and iodine atoms are not correctly balanced, we add a 2 in front of both NaI and NaCl in order to do so:

Cl_2+2NaI\rightarrow I_2+2NaCl

Best regards!

A certain man needed 400N of force to pull a load through a distance of 150cm in 8s . Calculatell i) the work done by man ii) th
Igoryamba

Answer:

a) 600 J

b) 75 W

Explanation:

Force= 400 N, distance = 150 cm = 1.5 m, time= 8s

a) Work is the product of force acting on an object and distance (or displacement). The S.I unit of work is the joules.

Work = force × distance = 400 × 1.5 = 600 J

b) Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It is the ratio of work to time. The S.I unit of power is watt

Power = work/time = 600 / 8 = 75 W

A chemistry student weighs out 0.027 kg of an unknown solid compound X and adds it to 550. mL of distilled water at 30.° C. Afte
QveST [7]

Answer:

1. Yes

2.The solubility of X is 34.55g/L

Explanation:

Solubility of  solute refers to how readily a solute will dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature. Its the amount of moles or grams required to saturate 1dm^{3} or 1 Litre of water.

From the problem, when the liquid was drained off and amount of X which didn't dissolve was measured, it weighed 0.008kg, this means out of 0.027kg, 0.027-0.008 actually dissolved

= 0.019kg*1000 = 19g.

if 19g is required to saturate 550mL at 30°C,

then\frac{19*1000}{550} will saturate 1L

= 34.545g  will saturate 1Litre

The solubility thus is 34.55g/L
