Answer:

1) Electron

Explanation:

The mass of an electron is only about 1/2000 the mass of a proton or neutron, so electrons contribute virtually nothing to the total mass of an atom.

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the following reaction: H3PO4 (aq) + 3 LiOH (aq) > Li3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)?

torisob [31]

Answer: The correct option for the chemical equation $H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$ is 1.

The correct option for the chemical equation $2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$ is 3.

Explanation:

For the chemical equation:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3LiOH(aq.)\rightarrow Li_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

$H_3PO_4$ is a weak acid and hence will not dissociate into ions whereas LiOH is a strong base and will easily dissociate into ions.

The product $Li_3PO_4$ is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3Li^{3+}(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow 3Li^{3+}(aq.)+PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

Net ionic equation becomes:

$H_3PO_4(aq.)+3OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow PO_4^{3-}(aq.)+3H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 1.

For the chemical equation:

$2HBr(aq.)+Co(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CoBr_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$

HBr and $Co(OH)_2$ are strong acid and strong base respectively, hence they will easily dissociate into ions.

The product, $CoBr_2$ is is soluble in water and hence, will dissociate into its respective ions. Hence, the ionic equation for this reaction is:

$2H^+(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+Co^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq.)+2Br^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

The net ionic equation becomes:

$H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$

So, the correct option is 3.

An electron in a hydrogen atom has orbital quantum number l = 7. how many possible values of the magnetic quantum number ml coul

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

A total of 15 magnetic quantum values are possible.

<h3>What is a Magnetic quantum number?</h3>

One of the four quantum numbers that describe an electron's position in relation to the nucleus is its magnetic quantum number.

Between spin and azimuthal quantum numbers, the magnetic quantum number comes in third on the list. The electron is positioned in one of the various orbitals formed by the division of the subshells (such as s, p, d, and f). It specifies the spatial direction of an orbital of certain energy (n) and form (I). The number of orbitals in each subshell is given as 2+1, where is the azimuthal quantum number. We can determine the orbital in each sub-shell using that method.

We are aware that there are between -l and +l conceivable magnetic quantum numbers.

Here l = 7

Thus, the range of magnetic quantum numbers will be -7 to +7.

Thus, the magnetic quantum numbers are as follows:

-7, -6, -5, -4,-3,-2,-1, 0, 1,2,3,4, 5, 6,7

This opens up a total of 15 magnetic quantum numbers.
