Why do the atoms in a piece of copper metal have no net charge?

Marat540 [252]

Answer;

-The charges of the positive and negative copper ions cancel each other out.

Explanation;

-A normal atom has a neutral charge with equal numbers of positive and negative particles.That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number.

-Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it now carries a net negative charge, and is thus anionic.

5. Base your answer to the following question on the

elixir [45]

Answer:

B) 2Crº + 6e- --> 2Cr3+

Explanation:

The process of oxidation is where electrons are lost. Thus, out of the 2 ions that change charge(Cr and Cu), we must choose the one where the oxidation number increases(which means electrons are lost). Cr goes from an oxidation number of 0 to an oxidation number of 3+, while Cu goes from an oxidation number of 2+ to 0. Thus, we are looking at the half reaction for Cr. Half reactions never have subtracting electrons, so the answer must be B. I am assuming that last plus should be a -->

Explain what happens in the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid.Explain how protons are donated and accepted

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide interact, resulting in salt and a release of heat. As we can see, the result of the interaction of two highly aggressive compounds is table salt and water – compounds that are ultimately harmless, even beneficial, to human beings.

2) An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond.A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids. A reaction between an acid and base is called a neutralization reaction.

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

B > D > C > A

Explanation:

For the first law of the thermodynamics, the total energy variation in a process is:

ΔU = Q - W

Where Q is the heat, and W the work. If the system loses heat, Q < 0, if it absorbs heat, Q>0. If work is done in the system (volume decreases), W < 0, if the system does the work (volume increases), W > 0.

A. If the surroundings get colder, the system is absorbing heat, so Q>0, and the system decreases in volume so W < 0 :

ΔU = +Q - (-W) = +Q + W (absorbs a higher energy)

B. If the surroundings ger hotter, the system is losing heat, so Q<0, and the system expands, so W>0:

ΔU = -Q -W (loses higher energy)

C. Surroundings get hotter, Q<0, and the system decreases in volume, W<0

ΔU = - Q + W = 0 (magnitude of heat and work is similar)

D. Surroundings get hotter, Q<0, and the system is not changing in volume, W = 0.

ΔU = -Q (loses energy)

For the most released (more negative) for the most absorbed (most positive):

B > D > C > A
