Explain why electrically neutral objects can become electrically charged

Chemistry
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The addition or subtraction of an electron and change ions to have a positive or negative charge. So, if and ion with an equal amount of protons and electrons gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

The combustion of 0.374 kg of methane in the presence of excess oxygen produces 0.983 kg of carbon dioxide. What is the percent
anyanavicka [17]
Assuming that the combustion formula is
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2<span>,

That means for every 1 molecule of methane(CH4) there will be one molecule of carbon dioxide(</span>CO2) produced. Methane molecular weight 16, carbon dioxide molecular weight is 44. Then the percent yield should be:
1 * (0.374/ 16) /(0.983/44)= 0.374*44/ 0.983 * 16= 104.6%

You sure the number is correct? Percent yield should not exceed 100%

What two forms of energy do portable radio has?
kogti [31]

Answer: okay, girl I got you . Chemical.

Nuclear.

Thermal.

Electromagnetic. The Electromagnetic Spectrum. The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes – the visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and the radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. This lesson will introduce electricity as the flow of electrons. In some cases, electricity can be the flow of positive charges or both positive and negative charges. This lesson will focus on the more typically defined flow of electrical current as that of electrons. Students should have some basic knowledge of atoms and their structure. However, as part of their online readings, students will investigate the basics of atomic structure (nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons). Thus, this lesson provides a good opportunity to clarify misconceptions about atoms and to ensure that all students understand basic atomic structure. According to the Benchmarks for Science Literacy, students of all ages show a wide range of beliefs about the nature and behavior of particles. They lack an appreciation of the very small size of particles; attribute macroscopic properties to particles; believe there must be something in the space between particles; have difficulty in appreciating the intrinsic motion of particles in solids, liquids, and gases; and have problems in conceptualizing forces between particles. This misconception is important to keep in mind when talking about electricity as the flow of electrons. Students may think that the electrons are in the copper wire and not the copper atoms that make up the wire. It is important to stress this point with students so that they develop an understanding that substances are composed of atoms, rather than atoms residing as a separate entity within substances.

Calculate the Cal(kcal) in 1 cup of whole milk: 12 g of carbohydrate, 9 g of fat, and 9 g of protein.
laiz [17]
 Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories    Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories    Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories    Alcohol: 1 gram = 7 calories"
So, (12 g carbohydrates)*4 Cal=48 Cal; (9 g fat) *9 Cal=81 Cal; (9 g protein)*4 Cal=36 Cal
48 Cal + 81 Cal + 36 Cal = 165 Cal in one glass of milk

What was the half-life of a new isotope?
REY [17]
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.
