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.

What happens when you drop a feather and hammer on the moon and why
mars1129 [50]

Hello! Here is what I have found

The force of gravity determines how long an object will take to fall to the ground. ... However, when the experiment was done on the Moon, the feather and the hammer both hit the ground at the same time because, in the absence of air resistance, all objects do in fact accelerate towards the ground at the same rate.

5.4 g of Aluminium reacts with 300 mL of 0.2 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution. A. Write equation for the reaction taking place.
insens350 [35]

Answer:

A. 2 Al (s) + 6HCl (aq) →  2AlCl₃ (s) ↓ + 3H₂ (g)  

B. Al is the excess reactant and HCl is the limiting.

C. 0.672 L of H₂ produced at STP

D. 2.67 g of AlCl₃ are made in this reaction.

E. 4.86 g of Al remain after the reaction goes complete.

Explanation:

We star from the reaction:

2 Al (s) + 6HCl (aq) →  2AlCl₃ (s) ↓ + 3H₂ (g)  

2 moles of aluminum, react with 6 moles of HCl in order to produce 2 moles of aluminum chloride and 3 mol of H₂ gas.

We determine moles of each reactant:

[HCl] = 0.2M → 0.2 mol/L . 0.3L = 0.060 moles

(we converted 300 mL to 0.3L)

5.4 g of Al . 1mol / 26.98g = 0.200 moles

Ratio is 2:6 (3). 2 mol of Al react to 6 mol of HCl

0.2 moles of Al may react with (0.2 . 6) /2 = 0.6 mol of acid

We have 0.06 moles, and we need 0.6 mol of acid, so the HCl is the limiting reactant. Then, the Al is the excess:

6 moles of HCl need 2 moles of Al to react

Then 0.06 moles of HCl will react to (0.06 . 2) /6 = 0.02 moles

If we have 0.2 moles of Al, and we need 0.02 moles for the reaction, then

(0.2 - 0.02) = 0.18 moles remain after the reaction is complete.

0.18 mol . 26.98g /1mol = 4.86 g of Al remain after the reaction goes complete.

As the limting reactant is the HCl, we work with it to determine the mass of salt which is produced:

6 mol of HCl can produce 2 mol of chloride

Then 0.06 moles of HCl will produce (0.06 . 2) /6 = 0.02 mol of AlCl₃

We convert to mass: 0.02 mol . 133.33g/1mol = 2.67 g of AlCl₃ are made in this reaction.

Let's find out the volume of hydrogen produced, at STP

6 moles of HCl can produce 3 moles of H₂

0.06 moles of HCl will produce (0.06 . 3) /6 = 0.03 moles of H₂

1 mol of any gas at STP occupies 22.4L

0.03 moles of H₂ will ocuppy (22.4 L . 0.03 mol)/1mol = 0.672L

A 4 liter solution of bleach with a concentration of 0.5 moles/L is diluted using an extra 4 Liters of water. What is the final
blondinia [14]

Answer:

0.25 mol/L

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 4L

Initial concentration (C1) = 0.5 mol/L

Final volume (V2) = 4 + 4 = 8L

Final concentration (C2) =?

Applying the dilution formula, we can easily find the concentration of the diluted solution as follow:

C1V1 = C2V2

0.5 x 4 = C2 x 8

Divide both side by 8

C2 = (0.5 x 4 )/ 8

C2 = 0.25 mol/L

Therefore the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.25 mol/L
