What happens when you decrease the number of electrons in an atom?

1 answer:

8 0

When the number of electrons are decreased the atom becomes positively charged due to the uneven number of protons and electrons,
in general let P represents protons and E represent electrons
when P< E (the atom is negative)
when P>E (the atom is positive)

Identify whether each reaction represents a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction by filling in the blank with the word ‘chemi

valkas [14]

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction between two or more substances that produces new substances/compounds.

On the other hand, a nuclear reaction is a reaction that alters the nucleus of a certain atom. This can be done either by splitting the nucleus or by joining this nucleus with another one.

Reaction 1:
Cl₂ + H₂ ............> 2 HCl
This is the combination of two elements to produce a new compound.
Therefore, this reaction is a chemical reaction

Reaction 2:
²₁H + ³₁H .........> ⁴₂H + ¹₀n
This is an alteration in the nucleus of a hydrogen atom by bonding it with another nucleus.
Therefore, this reaction is a nuclear reaction

Write the balanced equation. Then calculate the volume of 0.65 M HCl required to completely neutralize 400.0 ml of 0.88 M KOH.

Misha Larkins [42]

Hello!

The balanced equation for the neutralization of KOH is the following:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

To calculate the volume of HCl required, we can apply the following equation:

$moles HCl = moles KOH \\ \\ cHCl*vHCl=cKOH*vKOH \\ \\ vHCl= \frac{cKOH*vKOH}{cHCl}= \frac{400 mL*0,88M}{0,65M}= 541,54mL$

So, the required volume of HCl is 541,54 mL

Have a nice day!
