Answer:

One positve charge

Explanation:

A neural atom is one that has equal number of protons and electrons. The protons are the positively charged subatomic particles in an atom. The electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom.

For an atom to be charged during bond formation, it must lose or gain electrons. The number of electrons lost or gained conditions the charge on the ions it forms.

If in a neutral atom, it loses an electron, we see that the number of protons will now be more than the number of electrons by the 1 electron it lost. The charge will then be +1.

If a neutral atom gains an electron, the number of electrons will be more than that of the protons by 1. The charge will then be -1.

Which of the following is the best hypothesis?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

B.) If sodium carbonate is added to vinegar, the reaction will absorb heat.

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect because this is not testable. Rather, it is just an opinion that cannot be proven correct or incorrect.

B.) is correct because this statement is testable. Tests need to be run to determine the accuracy of the statement.

C.) is incorrect because this statement explains something that does not need to be tested. It is an example of a physical change when one tears a piece of paper.

D.) is incorrect because this is already a true statement. It is obvious that not all reactions absorb/release heat. While tests could be run to further prove this statement true, it is already considered accurate.

If 16.00 g of O₂ reacts with 80.00 g NO, how many the excess reactant are left over? (enter only the value, round to whole numbe

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

Mᵣ: 30.01 32.00 46.01

2NO + O₂ ⟶ 2NO₂

Mass/g: 80.00 16.00

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{moles of NO} = \text{80.00 g NO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NO}}{\text{30.01 g NO}} = \text{2.666 mol NO}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{16.00 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.5000 mol O}_{2}$
