What is an atom? how can we predict it?

1 answer:

5 0

An atom is the what makes up elements. It is made up of positive particles (protons), negative particles (electrons), and neutrons (no charged particles).

Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom while electrons hover around.

You cannot predict an atom. This is because it is not anything to guess about -if you know what I mean.

Happy to help!

Calculate the ph of sweater which has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1 times 10 to the power of 8

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The pH of the sweater containing Hydrogen ion concentration

$[H^{+}]=1\times 10^{-8}$ is

8

Explanation:

pH = It is the negative logarithm of activity (concentration) of hydrogen ions.

pH = -log([H+])

Now, In the question the concentration of [H+] ions is :

$[H^{+}]=1\times 10^{-8}$

$pH = -log(1\times 10^{-8})$

use the relation:

$log(10^{-a})=a$

$pH= -(-8)$

pH = 8

Note : 1 times 10 to the power of 8 must be" 1 times 10 to the power of -8"

If the concentration is

$[H^{+}]=1\times 10^{8}$

Then pH = -8 , which is not possible . So in that case the pH calculation is by other method

Why is identifying unknown compounds important to chemistry?

Galina-37 [17]

Determining the identity of substances is a critical part of chemistry because once the substance's identity is known, we can predict its behavior and understand the scenarios that it is involved in better.
For example, consider an industrial pipe where fouling (scaling) is occurring. If the compounds present in the scales are identified, steps may be taken to prevent and remove the scaling. This is one of many examples where identifying chemical substances is of high importance.

A laboratory analysis of a sample finds it is composed of 38.8% carbon, 16.2% hydrogen, and 45.1% nitrogen. What is its empirica

Sladkaya [172]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_5N$

Explanation : Given,

Percentage of C = 38.8 %

Percentage of H = 16.2 %

Percentage of N = 45.1 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 38.8 g

Mass of H = 16.2 g

Mass of N = 45.4 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{38.8g}{12g/mole}=3.23moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{16.2g}{1g/mole}=16.2moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{45.4g}{14g/mole}=3.24moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 3.23 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{3.23}{3.23}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{16.2}{3.23}=5.01\approx 5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.24}{3.23}=1.00\approx 1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 1 : 5 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_1H_5N_1=CH_5N$

Which of these elements has an atom with the most stable outer electron configuration? * Cl Ca Ne Na

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.
