Answer: A

Explanation:

An acid is a substance that dissolves in water to produce proton (H +), which then combines with Water molecule (H2O) to give Hydroxonium ion (H3O +).

Acid also have a pH value below 7 on the pH scale.

Answer:

A. Substances that release protons when they dissolve in water are termed acids and result in a pH lower than 7

Explanation:

An acid when in water releases a proton(H+) while the base in water releases an hydroxide(OH- )ion. The hydroxide ion released by the base then accepts the Proton released by the acid.

An acidic substance is known to have a pH of 0-6.9 while basic substances have a pH of 7.1-14.0.

This makes option A correct.

A 3.140 molal solution of NaCl is prepared. How many grams of NaCl are present in a sample containing 2.314 kg of water?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

g NaCl = 424.623 g

Explanation:

<em>C</em> NaCl = 3.140 m = 3.140 mol NaCl / Kg solvent

∴ solvent: H2O

∴ mass H2O = 2.314 Kg

mol NaCl:

⇒ mol NaCl = (3.140 mol NaCl/Kg H2O)×(2.314 Kg H2O) = 7.266 mol NaCl

∴ mm NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

⇒ g NaCl = (7.266 mol NaCl)×(58.44 g/mol) = 424.623 g NaCl

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

  • <u>You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.</u>

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

<u />

<u>1. Number of moles, n</u>

      n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol

<u />

<u>2. Mass</u>

  • mass = number of moles × atomic mass
  • mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.

What is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium,Se, and the number of electrons in an atom of alum
aliina [53]

Answer:

A)21

Explanation:

To know the difference between the number of electrons in the two atoms, we must first know the number of electrons in the atoms.

For Selenium, Se, we have 34 electrons. The element is in group 6 on the periodic table.

Aluminum on the other hand is in the Boron family with a total of 13 electrons.

The difference,( 34-13) electrons gives a total of 21 electrons

Refer to the following illustration. How many hydrogen atoms could bond with oxygen?
WITCHER [35]
2. 

The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms. 

6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8
