Answer:

a) an atom that has either gained or lost electron(s)

Explanation:

A neutral atom is an atom that has equal numbers of protons and electrons, its charge is neutral. These atoms are not stable (exceptions are the noble gases), so they need to gain, lose or share electrons to be stable.

When an atom gains or loses electrons, it became an ion, and its charge will not be more neutral. If it gains electrons (which are negative particles) it will have a negative charge and will be called anion; if it loses electrons, it will have a positive charge and will be called cation.

The equilibrium constant for the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is 1.6 × 102. what is the form of the equilibri
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The expression for equilibrium constant is \frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}

Explanation: Equilibrium constant is the expression which relates the concentration of products and reactants preset at equilibrium at constant temperature. It is represented as k_c

For a general reaction:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The equilibrium constant is written as:

k_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

Chemical reaction for the formation of ammonia is:

N_2+3H_3\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3

k_c=1.6\times 10^2

Expression for k_c is:

k_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}

1.6\times 10^2=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}

zepelin [54]

Answer:

He will decide which drink is to be served to whom, by the use of litmus paper.

Explanation:

The litmus paper is the most common indicator to determine the acidity or basicity of a solution. Blue litmus paper changes its color to red when a solution changes from basic to acidic while red litmus paper changes its color to blue when the opposite occurs (acid → basic).

First of all the litmus paper strip, pH indicator, is immersed in a solution and allowed to pass between 10 and 15 seconds while keeping the strip submerged.  Afterwards it is removed, and then the strip compares the color. If the color is diffuse, there is a color scale where it is determined which solution has alkaline or acidic pH
