Which of the following is the best definition of an atom?

2 answers:

C would be correct because atoms can be either negative or positive charged and they can make up living and nonliving things

The answer to your question is C.) Small particles that make up all matter.

This is the answer because:

B is incorrect. An atom is both positive and negative as it has both protons and electrons. So B is automatically out because it only says negative.

A is incorrect. Although it is true that atoms are charged particles, they don't just make up living things. They make up all matter.

So you are left with C which is true that atoms are both small particles and they make up all matter .

Hope this helped!

How many atoms are in 0.075 mol of titanium?

Annette [7]

The mass of titanium is = 47,867 g/1mol

Applying the rule of avrogado

1mol _______ 6,023 × 10^(23) at

0,075mol ___ x

X . 1mol = 0,075mol . 6,023 . 10^(23)at

X = 0,075 . 6,023 . 10^(23) at

X = 4,51 . 10^(22) atoms

VikaD [51]

Answer:

2.5 moles of NaCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction equation is shown in the image. Since it takes 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to form two moles of sodium. Chloride, then 2.5 moles of hydrochloric acid should also form 2.5 moles of sodium chloride according to the balanced reaction equation.

Using the Hoffman apparatus for electrolysis, a chemist decomposes 2.3 moles of water into its gaseous elements. How many grams

solong [7]

Answer:

2.318032g

Explanation:

-The electrolysis equation of water is written as below:

$2H_2O_{(l)}->2H_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}$

-The mole ratio of Water to the hydrogen formed is 1:1, therefore 2.3 moles of hydrogen gas is produced.

-Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.00784 grams:

$Mass=moles\times molar \ mass\\\\\=2.3\times 1.00784\\\\=2.318032\ g$

Hence, 2.318032 grams of hydrogen is produced.

What is the atom inventory for the following equation after it is properly balanced? ____NaOH + ____CuCl2 Imported Asset ____NaC

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Reactants: Na = 2, O = 2, H = 2, Cu = 1, Cl = 2;

Products: Na = 2, Cl = 2, Cu = 1, O = 2, H = 2

Explanation:

NaOH + CuCL2 —> NaCl + Cu(OH)2

The balanced equation can be achieved by doing the following:

There are 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atom on the right side. This is balanced by putting 2 in front of NaOH as shown below:

2NaOH + CuCL2 —> NaCl + Cu(OH)2

This makes Na to be unbalanced. Now to balance Na, put 2 in front of NaCl as illustrated below

2NaOH + CuCL2 —> 2NaCl + Cu(OH)2

Now the equation is balanced.

Reactants: Na = 2, O = 2, H = 2, Cu = 1, Cl = 2

Products: Na = 2, Cl = 2, Cu = 1, O = 2, H = 2

Two molecules that can cross a lipid bilayer without help from membrane proteins are o2 and co2. what property allows this to oc

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Two molecules that can cross a lipid bilayer without help from membrane proteins are oxygen and carbon dioxide. The property that allows this to happen is that both oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules are nonpolar which means that they can pass easily through the hydrophobic part of the membrane. The lipid bilayer is present in all cell membranes. It consists of two layers of the fat cells which are arranged into two sheets. It functions as a barrier which marks the boundaries of the cell. The inner part of a lipid bilayer is nonpolar since it is composed of the hydrophobic end of the phospholopids.
