Why don’t all of the particles in an atom contribute to the mass?

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of an atom is dependent on its number of protons and neutrons. Electrons have mass, but are too light in comparison to protons and neutrons to contribute towards the overall mass. Their relative mass is about 1/1840 compared to 1 for protons and neutrons, and therefore are not counted in the mass.

Which type of chemical bond involves the exchange of electrons

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Ionic or Electrovalent Bonding

Explanation:

There are primarily two categories of bonding between chemical entities. We have; Ionic Bonding and Covalent Bonding.

Ionic bonding or electrovalent bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. There is the transfer of electron from typically a metal to a non metal.

Covalent Bonding however involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. Depending on whuch atoms provide the electrons, it can be ordinary covalent oor coordinate covelent bond.

Part A. Two containers, one at 305 K and the other at 295 K, are placed in contact with each other. 1. 1 J of heat flows from th

posledela

Answer:

0.00011 JK.

The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The following parameters are given which are going to help in solving for the change in entropy of the system. The term "entropy'' simply means the degree of disorderliness of a system.

=> The temperature of container A = 305 K, the temperature of container B = 295 K and the amount of heat generated when the containers are placed in contact with each other = 1. 1 J.

The change in entropy of the hot container = -(1/305) = - 0.00328 J/K.

The change in entropy of the cold container = 1/295 = 0.00339 J/K.

Therefore, the change in the entropy of the system = - 0.00328 J/K + 0.00339 J/K = 0.00011 JK.

Note that the change in entropy of the system gives a positive value. Hence, this process does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.

The process does NOT violate the second law of thermodynamics.

10 m3 of carbon dioxide is originally at a temperature of 50 °C and pressure of 10 kPa. Determine the new density and volume of

Dimas [21]

Answer : The new density and new volume of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L and $7.2m^3$ respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the new or final volume of carbon dioxide gas.

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 10 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = $10m^3$

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $50^oC=273+50=323K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{10kPa\times 10m^3}{323K}=\frac{15kPa\times V_2}{348K}$

$V_2=7.2m^3$

The new volume of carbon dioxide gas is $7.2m^3$

Now we have to calculate the new density of carbon dioxide gas.

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{m}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{m}{V}\frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\rho \frac{RT}{M}\\\\\rho=\frac{PM}{RT}$

Formula for new density will be:

$\rho_2=\frac{P_2M}{RT_2}$

where,

$P_2$ = new pressure of gas = 15 kPa

$T_2$ = new temperature of gas = $75^oC=273+75=348K$

M = molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

$\rho$ = new density

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\rho_2=\frac{(15kPa)\times (44g/mole)}{(8.314L.kPa/mol.K)\times (348K)}$

$\rho_2=0.2281g/L$

The new density of carbon dioxide gas is 0.2281 g/L

What is the condition of water in the hydrosphere right now?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, in the places at the north and south pole, water exists in ice or glacier form, in the atmosphere it exists in vapor form and liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground as groundwater, in wells and aquifers. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of rain or snow,
