Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom contains three sub-atomic particles namely protons, neutrons and electrons.

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons only. Whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged.

When an atom is neutral then number of protons equal the number of electrons. Hence, the atom becomes neutral as positive charge is equal to negative charge and thus gets cancelled.

Therefore, a nucleus can be either positively charged or neutral.

20.0 g of Nitrogen is produced when oxygen gas reacts with NO gas. 29.8 L of oxygen is required at STP to produce this 20.0 g of
fiasKO [112]

The statement is false as 85675 grams of nitrogen dioxide is produced instead of 20 grams.

Explanation:

Balance equation for the reaction:

2NO + O_{2} ⇒ 2NO_{2}

Data given:

mass of nitrogen produced = 20 gram

mass of oxygen = 29.8 litres or 29800 grams

0xygen is the limiting reagent so,

number of moles of oxygen: (atomic mass of 1 mole 32 grams/mole

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1  mole}

putting the values in the equation:

 =  \frac{29800}{32}

  = 931.5 moles

1 mole of oxygen reacts to give 2 moles of NO2

931.5 moles of oxygen will give x moles

\frac{2}{1}=\frac{x}{931.5}

1862.5 moles of NO2 produced

in grams

mass = number of moles x atomic mass

mass = 1862.5 x 46.00

          = 85675 grams

The statement is false as 85675 grams of nitrogen dioxide is produced instead of 20 grams as said in question.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Approximately 22.37 days, will it take for the water to be safe to drink.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

k is rate constant

Given that:- k = 0.27 (day)⁻¹

[A_0] = 0.63 mg/L

[A_t]=1.5\times 10^{-3} mg/L

Applying in the above equation as:-

1.5\times 10^{-3}=0.63e^{-0.27\times t}

63e^{-0.27t}=150\times \:10^{-3}

e^{-0.27t}=\frac{1}{420}

t=\frac{100\ln \left(420\right)}{27}=22.37

<u>Approximately 22.37 days, will it take for the water to be safe to drink.</u>
