What is the charge on an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen?. . A. 1. . B. 0. . C. +1. . D. +2.
2 answers:
When the number of electron and number of protons are equal in the atom then the atom is said to be an electrically neutral atom. The loss of electron will result in the formation of cation and the atom will possess positive charge which is equal to the number of electrons lost whereas the gain of electron will result in the formation of anion and the atom will possess negative charge which is equal to the number of electrons gained.
The electrically neutral atom have 0 charge as the number of protons and electrons are equal.
For electrically neutral atom of hydrogen, the number of electron =1 and the number of proton = 1.
Hence, the charge on an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen is 0.

Explanation:
- The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.
Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt
- Type of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.
Reactants used in the reaction are -
- Chromium
- Cobaltous Chloride
Products formed in the reaction are -
- Chromic Chloride
- Cobalt
Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -
→
For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.
Hence, the balanced equation is -

As long as the equation in question can be expressed as the sum of the three equations with known enthalpy change, its can be determined with the Hess's Law. The key is to find the appropriate coefficient for each of the given equations.
Let the three equations with given be denoted as (1), (2), (3), and the last equation (4). Let
,
, and
be letters such that
. This relationship shall hold for all chemicals involved.
There are three unknowns; it would thus take at least three equations to find their values. Species present on both sides of the equation would cancel out. Thus, let coefficients on the reactant side be positive and those on the product side be negative, such that duplicates would cancel out arithmetically. For instance, shall resemble the number of
left on the product side when the second equation is directly added to the third. Similarly

:
:
Thus
and
Verify this conclusion against a fourth species involved- for instance. Nitrogen isn't present in the net equation. The sum of its coefficient shall, therefore, be zero.
Apply the Hess's Law based on the coefficients to find the enthalpy change of the last equation.
