Gold atoms can be identified based on the number of which subatomic particles?

Chemistry

sp2606 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: A

Explanation:

A Gold (Au) atom has 79 protons and 79 electrons. A typical gold atom has 118 neutrons, though there are 18 other radioisotopes discovered so far. 79 is its charge (atomic number), which is both its proton number and electron number

D. Protons, if you change the number of protons you change the element. You cannot change nuclei. You can have the same element with different numbers of neutrons (isotopes) and different numbers of electrons (ions). So protons will allow you to identify the element.

A 35.66g sample of copper is heated using 600j of energy. if the original temperature of the copper is 85C what is its final tem
ira [324]

This problem is providing the mass, energy, initial temperature and specific heat of a sample of copper that is required to calculate the final temperature.

Thus, we recall the general heat equation:

Q=mC(T_f-T_i)\\

Which has to be solved for the final temperature, T_f as follows:

T_f=T_i+\frac{Q}{mC}

Finally, we plug in the numbers to obtain:

T_f=85\°C+\frac{600J}{35.66g*0.38\frac{J}{g\°C} } \\\\T_f=129.3\°C

However, this result is not given in the choices.

Which graphic below shows the correct orientation of each water molecule when it is near the cl- ion in the aqueous solution?
andrew-mc [135]
The question is missing the graphics required to answer which I have attached as an image.

There are four different representations of the orientation of water molecules around chloride anion. Let's first analyze the water molecule.

We have H-O-H as the structure of water. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, which results in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

The chloride anion is a negative charge. Therefore, the water molecules should orient themselves with the hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine atom as the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms will be attracted to the negative charge of the chlorine atom.

The correct representation is shown in graph 3 which shows all hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine anion.

How does classifying the components of air help us to solve the air quality crisis

Air pollution is

1. Coal

Burning all fossil fuels is bad, but coal is the worst. When burnt, it releases more carbon dioxide (CO2) per unit of energy than oil or gas – which means it heats up our planet faster.

Coal is toxic too. Burning it releases elements like mercury and arsenic, and small particles of soot which contribute to air pollution. When we breathe it in, that soot harms our heart and lungs and even increases our risk of strokes.

But the worst thing about coal is how widespread it is. Coal provides more than a third of the world’s electricity. That’s more than any other single source! These power plants affect air quality for hundreds of kilometres – and are often placed right in the heart of cities – so countless millions of people get little respite from the pollution these plants cause.

We desperately need to wean ourselves off coal, and get our power from clean sources like wind, sun and tides.

Some counties have started. In 2019, coal power had its biggest slump ever recorded! But we need every country in the world to move much faster towards renewable energy. Greenpeace International has even mapped out how they could go about

Air pollution is indeed a crisis, but it’s a crisis we can solve – and around the world, people are solving it! Here’s what that looks like.

1. Coal

2. Cars

Most cars run on oil – petrol and diesel. And just like burning coal, burning oil comes with a huge environmental price tag. Petrol and diesel cars emit CO2 and other gases which heat our planet. On top of other nasties, the exhaust fumes these cars produce contain Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), which is another pollutant that harms our health.

Cities around the world are waking up to the joys of car-free travel. From pedestrian zones, to proper public infrastructure to comprehensive and affordable public transport, there are so many ways cities can help us go car-free more often. And the benefits are many – from more space and cleaner air to a more active and healthy population.

But for those journeys that still need cars, we should start thinking about cars very differently. Rather than petrol and diesel, we should power cars with electricity.

3. Air pollution is no match for all of us, working together. All the solutions listed here are already happening around the world because people came together and demanded it.

Concerns about air pollution made Shenzhen, China electrify their bus fleet. Parents in Belgium mobilised because the air in schools was so dirty. Now, Brussels, its capital city, is banning petrol and diesel cars from 2030 and investing in public transport and cycling infrastructure. And around the world, concerns about the climate impacts of coal are causing governments to look into new ways of getting their power- Turkey has closed five coal power plants in 2020 alone!

Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of gaseous dioxygen to aqueous oxide anions.
maksim [4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced half reaction is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

When oxygen gas is reduced to oxide ions, the number of electron transferred are 2

The chemical equation for the reduction of oxygen gas to oxide ions follows:

O_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}

Hence, the balanced half reaction is written above.
