The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
  • Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

Consider two bulbs seperated by a valce. Both bulbs are amintained at the same temperature. Assume that when the valve between t
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The  pressure is P_f  =  0.93 \  atm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  volume of  Ne  is  V_N  = 2.50 \ L

    The volume  of  CO is  V_C =  2.00 \  L

    The  pressure of  Ne is  P_N  =  1.09 \ atm

      The  pressure of  CO is P_C =  0.773 \  atm

The  number of  moles of  Ne present is evaluated using the ideal gas equation as

      n_N  =  \frac{P_N  *  V_N}{R T}

=>   n_N  =  \frac{1.09  *  2.50 }{R T} =  \frac{2.725}{RT}

The  number of  moles of  CO present is evaluated using the ideal gas equation as

      n_N  =  \frac{P_C  *  V_C}{R T}

=>   n_N  =  \frac{0.73  *  2.00 }{R T} =  \frac{1.46}{RT}

The  total number of moles of gas present is evaluated as

        n_T  =  n_N  +  n_C

        n_T  =  \frac{2.725}{RT}  +   \frac{1.46}{RT}

      n_T  =  \frac{4.185}{RT}

The  total volume of gas present when valve is opened is  mathematically represented as

                V_T  =  V_N  + V_C

    =>        V_T  =  2.50 + 2.00 =  4.50 \  L

So

  From the ideal gas equation the final pressure inside the system  is mathematically represented as

         P_f  =  \frac{n_T  *  RT }{ V_T}

=>      P_f  =  \frac{[\frac{4.185}{RT} ]  *  RT }{ 4.50}

=>       P_f  =  0.93 \  atm

Write a chemical equation for nh4+(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the arrhenius definition.
GuDViN [60]

An Arrhenius acid by definition dissociates in water to form H3O+ (or H+) ions while an arrhenius base dissociates in water to form OH- ions.

NH4+(aq) can be categorised as an arrhenius acid since it releases H3O+ ions in aqueous media

NH4+(aq) + H2O (aq) ↔ NH3 (aq) + H3O+(aq)
