If an atom of sodium combines with (captures) an alpha particle that has 2 protons and 2 neutrons, its new mass number will be

Chemistry
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

27 amu

Explanation:

The alpha particles is Helium nuclei.

Atomic mass is the sum of the neutrons and protons.

Helium have two protons and two neutrons thus its atomic mass is 4 amu.

₂He⁴

Sodium atom have 12 neutrons and 11 protons. Thus its mass number will be

23 amu.

When it combine with alpha particle it mass will be 27 amu.

23 amu + 4 amu = 27 amu.

Thus new sodium atom have 14 neutrons and 13 protons.

The table shows the specific heat of four substances. The substances are exposed to the Sun for the same length of time. Arrange
Kazeer [188]

Answer: The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. Therefore, a high value of specific heat would mean that more heat is needed in order for the temperature to increase. The correct answer would be water since it has the highest specific heat of the choices given.

Calculate the pH of a solution whose H3O+ concentration is 2.1 x 10-3 M. Is the solution acidc, basic, or neutral?
Leona [35]

Answer:

Option A, The pH of the solution is 2.7 and the solution is acidic

Explanation:

As we know,

pH =  - log [H3O+]

Substituting the given values, we get

pH =  - log [2.1 x 10-3 M]

pH =  - (-2.678)

pH = 2.678 or 2.7

The solution is acidic as pH value is less than 7

Hence, option A is correct

What are the two variables that affect the electric force between two objects?
givi [52]

Explanation:

The electrical force between two objects is given by the formula as follows :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

k is electrostatic constant

q₁ and q₂ are electric charges

d is distance between charges

So, the two force between two charged objects depends on the product of charges and distance between charges.

What is the correct answer ??
Ber [7]

Answer:

[H_3 O^+] = 1.0 ×10^-13

Explanation:

If we multiply the left side we get, 1e - 13. We add 13 to the right side while subtracting the remaining value from the left side (H3O+) than combine like terms. As you will get pH = 13.00
