Answer:

20 amu

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.

In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1  charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.

Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.

Atomic mass of given atom:

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu

Which of the following chemical reactions is an oxidation-reduction reaction? CuSO4 + BaCl2 yields BaSO4 + CuCl2 Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaC
Ratling [72]
The answer is N2 + 3H2 yields 2NH3. The oxidation-reduction reaction means that there is electrons transfer during the reaction which means that the valence changed.

1. The most useful ore of aluminum is bauxite, in which Al is present as hydrated oxides, Al2O3⋅xH2O The number of kilowatt-hour
lianna [129]

*Answer:

Option A: 59.6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 4.00 kg

The applied emf = 5.00 V

watts = volts * amperes

Step 2: Calculate amperes

equivalent mass of aluminum = 27 / 3 = 9  

mass of deposit = (equivalent mass x amperes x seconds) / 96500

4000 grams = (9* amperes * seconds) / 96500

amperes * seconds = 42888888.9

1 hour = 3600 seconds

amperes * hours = 42888888.9 / 3600 = 11913.6

amperes = 11913.6 / hours

Step 3: Calculate kilowatts

watts = 5 * 11913.6 / hours

watts = 59568 (per hour)

kilowatts = 59.6 (per hour)

The number of kilowatt-hours of electricity required to produce 4.00kg of aluminum from electrolysis of compounds from bauxite is 59.6 kWh when the applied emf is 5.00V

A piece of unknown metal with mass 30 g is heated to 110.0 °C and dropped into 100.0 g of water at 20.0 °C. The final temperatur
Ymorist [56]

<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by metal will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]       ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of metal = 30 g

m_2 = mass of water = 100 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 25°C

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 110°C

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.0°C

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

30\times c_1\times (25-110)=-[100\times 4.186\times (25-20)]

c_1=0.821J/g^oC

Hence, the specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

What experimental observations indicate a chemical change is taking place?
Anestetic [448]
A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.
