An element's atomic number is 86. how many protons would an atom of this element have?

Classify each of the following reactants and products as an acid or base according to the Bronsted theory: H3PO4 + C6H5O- <=&

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.

Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.

Explanation:

Bronsted theory mentioned that acid is the one that donates a proton to another compound and base is the one that receives it.

H₃PO₄ + C₆H₅O⁻ ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻ + C₆H₅OH

acid base conj. base conj. acid

H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.

Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.

If we follow the dissociation, the diacid phosphate can donate two more protons, it is still a Bronsted acid, but it can act as an acid or a base. This is called amphoteric.

How do scientists determine locations for drilling for natural gas? Where are many natural gas drill sites located? (Site 2)

Alchen [17]

Explanation:

By drilling several cores miles apart , geologist can correlate the rock units and create an image what exists and where below the surface.

Combining this information with rocks exposed to the surface , which can gives clues about rock orientation below, can be a powerful tool to locating oil and gas .

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

What kind of nuclear reaction would result in the release of a beta particle

lorasvet [3.4K]

Beta decay converts a neutron to a proton and emits a high-energy electron, producing a daughter nucleus with the same mass number as the parent and an atomic number that is higher by 1.
