Answer:

A solution that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a negative ion. 

Explanation:

Atoms in their original state have equal number of protons and electrons. The subatomic particles that take part in reaction are electrons. When the electrons of an atom involve in a reaction an atom may lose or gain electrons and reach ionic state.

Ions can be positively charged or negatively charged and the charge acquired depends on whether electrons are gained or lost. The process of losing electrons make an atom a positively charged ion and gaining electrons make an atom a negatively charged ion. 

In this case the number of electrons is more than the number of protons which means there is an excess of negative charge and the atom has become a negatively charged ion.

Which is the strongest base among NO3-, So4-, CH3COO- and Cl-

vodomira [7]

Answer:

CH3COO-

Explanation:

The conjugate base if a weak acid is a strong base, and the conjugate base of a strong acid is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid, so its conjugate base (CH3COO-) is a strong base.

Nitric, sulfuric, and hydrochloric acids are all strong acid. Their conjugate bases (NO3-, SO4^2-, and Cl- are all weak bases.

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 100.0 g of H2O and 100.0 mL of 1M HCl are mixed. The HCl had an initial temperature of 44.6 C and t

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Exothermic reaction for the HCl, endothermic reaction for the water

$2803.28\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

Heat was lost by HCl as its temperature lowered, so it was an exothermic reaction for the HCL.

Heat was gained by water as its temperature increased, so it was an endothermic reaction for the water.

m = Mass of water = 100 g

c = Specific heat of water = $4184\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}$

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature of water = $(31.3-24.6)^{\circ}\text{C}$

Heat is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T\\ =0.1\times 4184\times (31.3-24.6)\\ =2803.28\ \text{J}$

Heat gained by water is $2803.28\ \text{J}$ .

Use the half-reaction method to balance the equation for the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid in acid solution:CH₃CH₂OH + Cr

garik1379 [7]

Balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The chemical equation

CH₃CH₂OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ → CH₃COOH + Cr³⁺

First assign the oxidation number for each atom in the equation.

$\overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{-1}{C} \overset{+1}{H_2} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+6}{Cr_2} \overset{-2}{O_7} + \overset{+1}{H} \rightarrow \overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{+3}{C}\overset{-2}{O} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+3}{Cr}$

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ → 2Cr⁺³

Now, balance the charge

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³

Now balance the oxygen atoms

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O

Now, make electron gain equivalent to lost

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺ } × 3

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O } × 2

Now,

Oxidation: 3C₂H₆O + 3H₂O → 3C₂H₄O₂ + 12e⁻ + 12H⁺

Reduction: 2Cr₂O₇ + 12e⁻ + 28H⁺ → 4Cr⁺³ + 14H₂O

Now, add the both equations

3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that the balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

A mixture of gases contains 4.46 moles of neon (Ne), 0.74 mole of argon (Ar), and 2.15 moles of xenon (Xe). Calculate the partia

viva [34]

Explanation:

The partial pressure of an individual gas is equal to the total pressure of the mixture multiplied by the mole fraction of the gas.

Total pressure = 2atm

Mole Fraction = number of moles / total number of moles

Neon

Mole Fraction = 4.46 / 7.35 = 0.607

Partial Pressure = 0.607 * 2 = 1.214 atm

Argon

Mole Fraction = 0.74 / 7.35 = 0.101

Partial Pressure = 0.101 * 2 = 0.202 atm

Xenon

Mole Fraction = 2.15 / 7.35 = 0.293

Partial Pressure = 0.293 * 2 = 0.586 atm
