Why would an atom have zero charge

Chemistry

iragen [17]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

The overall charge of an atom is zero. ... The charge from a proton or electron are of equal strength, therefore if an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it will be electrically neutral. However, atoms are not always electrically neutral, in which case they are called ions.

You have 54.32 grams of PbCl4. How many moles of PbCl4 do you have?

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

0.156mol

Explanation:

Number of moles of a substance can be calculated from its mass by dividing its mass by molar mass i.e.

Number of moles (n) = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of PbCl4 is as follows, where Pb = 207.2g/mol, Cl = 35.5g/lol

PbCl4 = 207.2 + 35.5(4)

= 207.2 + 142

= 349.2g/mol

Using: mole = mass/molar mass

mole = 54.32 grams ÷ 349.2g/mol

mole = 0.1555

mole = 0.156mol

An insulated container contains 0.3 kg of water at 20 degrees C. An alloy with a mass of 0.090 kg and an initial temperature of

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy is 2.324 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of water = 0.3 kg = 300 grams

Temperature of water = 20°C

Mass of alloy = 0.090 kg

Initial temperature of alloy = 55 °C

The final temperature = 25°C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the specific heat of alloy

Qlost = -Qwater

Qmetal = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(alloy) * c(alloy) * ΔT(alloy) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of alloy = 90 grams

⇒ c(alloy) = the specific heat of alloy = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(alloy) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25-55 = -30°C

⇒ mass of water = 300 grams

⇒ c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 25 - 20 = 5 °C

90 * c(alloy) * -30°C = -300 * 4.184 J/g°C * 5°C

c(alloy) = 2.324 J/g°C

The specific heat of the alloy is 2.324 J/g°C

Using the atomic masses and relative abundance of the isotopes of nitrogen given below, determine the average atomic mass of nit

mylen [45]

The formula for average atomic mass is :

mass of isotope A * % of isotope A + mass of isotope B * % of isotope B + ....

Now,
Here,
Average atomic mass of nitrogen = (14.003 * 99.63%) + (15.000 * 0.37%)
= (14.003 * 0.9963) + ( 15.000 * 0.0037)
= 13.951 + 0.056
= 14.007 a.m.u.

In the following list, only ________ is not an example of a chemical reaction. the production of hydrogen gas from water the tar

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction where a chemical bond will break in order to form a new bond due to the formation of a new substance.

For example, $2Na + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2NaCl$

Here, NaCl is the new substance that is formed. A chemical reaction will always bring change in chemical composition of a substance.

The production of hydrogen gas from water, the tarnishing of a copper penny, charging a cellular phone and burning a plastic water bottle are all chemical reactions.

Whereas a reaction where no change in chemical composition of a substance takes place is known as a physical reaction.

For example, chopping a log into sawdust will change the shape but it will not bring any change in chemical composition of the substance.

Thus, we can conclude that in the following list, only chopping a log into sawdust is not an example of a chemical reaction.
