Why is nucleus of an atom charged is negatively charged?
Damm [24]

Answer:

Charge is caused by a flow of electrons, since electrons are around the nucleus they can be lost or gained by atoms. When an atom gets charged, it gains a charge, that is, it gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an atom gains one, it also becomes negatively charged.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that contains a) 45.5 lbm of silver, b) 83.7 lbm of gold, and c) 6.3 lbm o
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

\% atAg=44.6\%\\\% atAu=44.9\%\\\% atCu=10.5\%

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for computing the atom percent, one must obtain the number of atoms of silver, gold and copper as shown below:

atomsAg=45.5lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAg}{1molAg}=1.15x10^{26}atomsAg\\atomsAu=83.7lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAu}{196.97gAu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAu}{1molAu}=1.16x10^{26}atomsAu\\atomsCu=6.3lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{63.55gCu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsCu}{1molCu}=2.71x10^{25}atomsCu

Thus, the atom percent turns out:

\% atAg=\frac{1.15x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.6\%\\\% atAu=\frac{1.16x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.9\%\\\% atCu=\frac{2.71x10^{25}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =10.5\%

Best regards.

When 4.41g of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) react with 9.25g of barium hydroxide, water and insoluble barium phosphate form. [T/I-7] a
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)

Explanation:

Let's consider the unbalanced equation that occurs when phosphoric acid reacts with barium hydroxide to form water and barium phosphate. This is a neutralization reaction.

H₃PO₄(aq) + Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

We will balance it using the trial and error method.

First, we will balance Ba atoms by multiplying Ba(OH)₂ by 3 and P atoms by multiplying H₃PO₄ by 2.

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

Finally, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying H₂O by 6.

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)

Complete the table to summarize the properties of the different subatomic particles. Type in your answers.
Aloiza [94]

<h2>Complete the table to summarize the properties of the different subatomic particles. </h2>

Explanation:

Atom

It is a smallest particle which cant exist independently.

According To Dalton, atom was indivisible but later on, it was proved that atom can be subdivided into sub atomic particles called electron, proton & neutron.

These subatomic particles have marked properties .

Proton

  • It was discovered by E.Goldstein .
  • It is positively charged particle
  • It is present in nucleus .
  • Its mass is equal to 1.6726219 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms

Neutron

  • It was discovered by E.chadwick .
  • It is neutral
  • It is present inside the nucleus .
  • It's mass is equal to 1.674927471×10⁻²⁷ kg

Electron

  • It was discovered by J.J Thomson .
  • It has negative charge .
  • It's mass is equal to 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms
  • It is present outside the nucleus in shells .
