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.

Find the pH of a 0.350 M aqueous benzoic acid solution. For benzoic add. Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5.
slava [35]

Answer:

correct option is (a)

The solution would be using this: C6H5COOH = H+ + C6H5COO Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5 = (H+)(C6H5COO-) over

(C6H5COOH)

Let X = moles per liter (H+) and also = moles per liter (C6H5COO-)

Ka = 6.5 x 10^-5 = (X)(X) over .350 molar = acid solution 6.5 x 10^-5 = X^2 over .350

X^2 = 6.5 x 10^-5 times .350 which = 2.275 x 10^-5

x = V2.275 x 10^-5

X = 1.5083 x 10^-5 moles per liter H+

pH = -log(H+) = -log 1.5083 x 10^-5 which

= 4.6215

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

B) Heat is given off.

Explanation:

When heat is given off, a chemical change must have occurred and such a reaction is termed an exothermic reaction.

A chemical change is one in which;

  • the process is not easily reversible
  • leads to the production of new kinds of matter
  • involves change in mass
  • requires a considerable amount of energy.

Most chemical reactions are accompanied by heat changes.

Substances like liquid mercury are very ______, but substances like rubber are very _______
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

electrons form the atoms f one material may move to the atoms of the other material. The movement of electrons from one atom to another changes the charge of the atoms. When an atom loses electrons, it is left with more protons than electrons, so it then has a positive charge. when an atom gains electrons, it has more electrons than protons so its charge is negative.
