When an atom gains an electron to become an ion what happens to its size?

1 answer:

5 0

It stays roughly the same size. Electrons have a barely imperceptible mass so the overall mass of the atom is changed very little.

How many moles is 1.25 x 1024 atoms of bromine?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2.08 moles (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

number of moles

= number of atoms ÷ Avogadro's constant

Avogadro's constant= 6.022 ×10²³

Thus, number of moles

= 1.25×10²⁴ ÷ (6.022 ×10²³)

= 2.08 moles (3 s.f.)

Write a chemical equation for NH4+(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition. Express your a

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

NH4+(aq) → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)

Explanation:

Following arrhenius, an acid can be defined as:

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of H+ ions in water.

NH4+(aq) → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)

The ammonium ion acts as a weak acid in aqueous solution, dissociating into ammonia and a hydrogen ion.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of OH- ions in water.

NH4+(aq) will not dissciate in OH- ions. So it's not a base, but an acid.

How many grams of water are produced when 4.50 L of

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The answer for the following problem has been mentioned below.

Therefore the mass of the water is 5.802 grams.

Explanation:

Given:

volume of oxygen (V) = 4.50 L

Temperature (T) = 425 K

pressure of oxygen (P) = 2.50 atm

Gram molecular mass of oxygen (M) = 16.0 grams

To calculate:

mass of water (m)

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation;

P × V = n × R × T

As we know;

no of moles = $\frac{m}{M}$

m represents the mass of oxygen (m)

M represents the Gram molecular mass (M)

According to above mentioned equation;

P × V = n × R × T

P represents the pressure of the oxygen

V represents the volume of the oxygen

n represents the no of moles of the oxygen

R represents the universal gas constant

where,

the value of R is 0.0821 L atm/K moles

Substituting the values in the above equation;

2.50 × 4.50 = $\frac{m}{16.0}$ × 0.0821 × 425

11.25 = $\frac{m}{16.0}$ × 34.8925

180 = m × 34.8925

m = $\frac{180}{34.8925}$

m = 5.158 grams

Therefore the mass of the of oxygen is 5.158 grams

Now;

As we know;

$\frac{m_{1} }{M_{1} } = \frac{m_{2} }{M_{2} }$

where;

$m_{1}$ represents the mass of the oxygen

$M_{1}$ represents the gram molecular mass of the oxygen

$m_{2}$ represents the mass of the water

$M_{2}$ represents the gram molecular mass of water

From the above given formula,

$\frac{5.158}{16.0}$ = $\frac{m_{2} }{18}$

where;

Gram molecular weight of water = 18.0 u

$m_{2}$ = 5.802 grams

Therefore the mass of the water is 5.802 grams.
