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

Chemistry

Marat540 [252]3 years ago

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.

Answer: The correct answer is the charges of the positive and negative copper ions cancel each other out.

Explanation:

A copper metal having no net charge means that it is a neutral atom.

A neutral atom means that total number of protons is equal to the total number of electrons.

Protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge of equal magnitude.

Hence, no net charge means that the charged of positive copper ions cancel the charges of negative copper ions

Question 2
andrezito [222]

Answer:

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

Explanation:

Generally when it comes to changes, there are physical and chemical changes. In physical changes, there are no new substances been formed, however in chemical change new substances are formed.

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

This is a chemical change.

B . Bubbles forming when a pot of water is heated

This is a physical change

C. A pair of jeans soaked in water drying after hanging outside

This is a physical change

D . A block of ice decreasing in size due to a change in temperature

This is a physical change.

Only option A is different from the rest,hence this is the answer.

Is condensation an exothermic or endothermic process? Based on Le Cha^telier’s principle, would you predict the vapor pressure o
Irina18 [472]

Explanation:

A process in which water vapor changes into liquid state is known as condensation. As we know that when energy is released in a reaction then it is known as exothermic reaction and when energy is absorbed in a reaction then it is known as endothermic reaction.

As vapors have high energy so, when they change into liquid state then heat energy is released by them. Therefore, condensation is an exothermic reaction.

As per Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will tend to shift the equilibrium in a direction away from the disturbance.

So, when there will occur a decrease in temperature then molecules of a gas will come closer to each other. Hence, there will also occur a decrease in vapor pressure of the gas.

To form a salt compound, the acid contributes the __ ion, and the base contributes the ___ ion
cupoosta [38]
To form a salt compound, the acid contribute a NON METAL ION  and the base contributes a METAL ION.
In chemistry, acid and base react together to form salt and water only. For the salt formed, the positive metal ion comes from the base while the negative non metal ion comes from the acid.

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2
valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

<em>4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4 NO(g)+ 6 H₂O(g)</em>

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%
