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

Chemistry
2 answers:
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

How much of a 0.250 M lithium hydroxide is required to neutralize 20.0 mL of 0.345M chlorous acid?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M

Explanation:

The reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with chlorous acid (HClO₂) is:

LiOH + HClO₂ → LiClO₂ + H₂O

<em>That means, 1 mole of hydroxide reacts per mole of acid</em>

Moles of  20.0 mL = 0.0200L of 0.345M chlorous acid are:

0.0200L ₓ (0.345mol / L) = <em>6.90x10⁻³ moles of HClO₂</em>

To neutralize this acid, you need to add the same number of moles of LiOH, that is 6.90x10⁻³ moles. As the LiOH contains 0.250 moles / L:

6.90x10⁻³ moles ₓ (1L / 0.250mol) = 0.0276L of LiOH =

<h3>27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M</h3>

What is the pOH of a solution that has an H+=7.7x10^-7 M
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1

The question is based on the concept of PH and pOH calculations.

pH is defined as negative logarithmic of hydronium Ion concentration.

while pOH is defined as negative logarithmic of hydroxide ion concentration of the solution.

Step 2

[H+] = 7.7*10-7  M  

pH = -log[H+]  

    = -log ( 7.7*10-7 )

     = 6.12

Step 3

pOH = 14 - pH

   = 14 - 6.11

  = 7.89
