Hydrogen to be more precise protium which is an isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and one electron. It is considered to be very stable which explains it's abundance everywhere. However under extreme conditions like in the sun, it undergoes nuclear fusion to form helium. So in conclusion, under normal circumstances Protium is considered to be very stable however under extreme circumstances it is radioactive. Does that answer your question?

Valeric acid, HC5H9O2 (Ka = 1.5 ✕ 10−5), is used in the manufacture of magnesium valerate, a nerve-calming agent. What is the hy

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

$[H^+]=0.00332M$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the dissociation of valeric acid as:

$HC_5H_9O_2 \rightleftharpoons C_5H_9O_2 ^-+H^+$

Its corresponding law of mass action is:

$Ka=\frac{[H^+][C_5H_9O_2^-]}{[HC_5H_9O_2]}$

Now, by means of the change $x$ due to dissociation, it becomes:

$Ka=\frac{(x)(x)}{0.737-x}=1.5x10^{-5}$

Solving for $x$ we obtain:

$x=0.00332M$

Thus, since the concentration of hydronium equals $x$ , the answer is:

$[H^+]=x=0.00332M$

Best regards.

What is an advantage of using natural gas rather than a coal burning power plant?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

I hope it helps u

Explanation:

The advantages of using natural gas rather than coal are the following,

Natural gas is present in large amount than coal.
Natural gas is less costly than other fossil fuel sources of energy.
It increases security by decreasing dependence.
Natural gas is more environmentally friendly.
Natural gas is much safer to store.
It is reliable.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil.
Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas-power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant.

An atom of sodium-23 (Na-23) has a net charge of +1. Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. Then,

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Number of proton is 11

Number of neutrons is 12

Number of electrons is 10

Explanation:

For a neutral Na, Sodium atom:

The mass number P+N = 23

Atomic number(E or P) = 11

A charged Na atom that has lost an electron is positively charged and so:

Number of proton = 11 (Still the same)

Number of neutrons = 12

Number of electrons = 11-1=10 (the atom has lost an electron)

If an atom loses electron, it becomes positively charged ie P>E
