An atom has 8 electrons and a mass of 17. What would the correct symbol be?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

O₈¹⁷

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

In given statement there are 8 electrons it means the atomic number of given atom is 8 so it would oxygen. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 while in given statement mass is 17 it means it is the isotope of oxygen that have one more neutron than oxygen 16.

Isotope of an element have same atomic number but different atomic mass due to different number of neutrons.

A weak acid (ha) has a pka of 4.001. If a solution of this acid has a ph of 4.110, what percentage of the acid is not ionized? (
OverLord2011 [107]

99.9224 % of the acid is not ionized.

____HA + H₂O ⇌ A⁻ + H₃O⁺

I: ___<em>c</em> ________0 ____0  

C: _-α<em>c</em> _______+α<em>c</em> __+α<em>c </em>

E: <em>c</em>(1-α) _______α<em>c</em> ___α<em>c </em>

pH = 4.110

[H₃O⁺] = α<em>c</em> = 10^(-4.110) mol/L = 7.76 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L

α = 7.76 × 10⁻⁵

1 – α = 1 - 7.76 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.999 224 = 99.9224 %

The area that deals with the mechanism, the rate, and the energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes a change
mafiozo [28]
Physical chemistry is the area that deals with the mechanisms, the rate, and the energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes a change. So the correct option for the given question is option “B”. Whenever there is a change in the state of matter, the physical properties definitely undergo a change. A solid matter will always have a definite shape and volume, while a liquid has a definite volume but no shape. Gases do not have either definite volume or shape. Chemical properties might not be affected, but physical properties are definitely impacted when a matter undergoes change.

What mass of sodium chloride will be needed to produce 17kg of chlorine?<br> 2Na+2H2O=Cl2+2NaOH+H2.
disa [49]

Explanation:

Sodium is a silver-colored metal which is soft enough to cut with a knife.  It is an extremely reactive metal, and is always found naturally in ionic compounds, not in its pure metallic form.  Pure sodium metal reacts violently (and sometimes explosively) with water, producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and heat:

2Na(s)  +  2H2O(l)  ——>  2NaOH(aq)  +  H2(g)

Chlorine is a poisonous, yellow-green gas, with a very sharp odor, and was used in gas warfare during World War I.

Sodium and chlorine react with each other, however, to produce a substance that is familiar to almost everyone in the world:  sodium chloride, or table salt:

2Na(s)  +  Cl2(g)  ——>  2NaCl(s)

It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily when we look at it on an atomic level:  sodium has one electron in its outermost (valence) shell, while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell.  When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. 

The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

 

In the following demonstrations, a 2.5 liter bottle is filled with chlorine gas.  A coating of sand on the bottom of the bottle absorbs some of the heat energy produced during the reaction, and prevents it from breaking.  A small piece of freshly-cut metallic sodium is placed in the flask, and then a small amount of water is added, which reacts with the sodium and causes it to become hot.  The hot sodium then reacts with the chlorine, producing a bright yellow light, a great deal of heat energy, and fumes of sodium chloride, which deposits on the walls of the bottle.

In the first video clip, the sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with the water, and "burns out" quickly.  (Don't blink, or you'll miss it.)  In the second, water is added twice, to produce one short flash, followed by a much longer one.  (This reaction can also be done with molten sodium, but I've never been brave enough to try that.)
