Depending on what the original charge of the atom is, when an e- is added, that charge will drop by one. If an atom loses an e- the charge will be one higher.

Answer:

Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero. The atom is then said to be electrically charged, or "ionized". There is a major difference between the neutral state and the ionized state. In the neutral state, an atom has little electromagnetic attraction to other atoms. Note that the electric field of a neutral atom is weak, but is not exactly zero because the atom is not a point particle. If another atom gets close enough to the atom, they may begin to share electrons. Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

The equation that describes the change in temperature of a solvent due to a solute is AT6 = i xKb x molality. How much salt woul
dedylja [7]

4.9 moles of salt are required to be added to 1 kg water to change the boiling temperature

by 5°C.

<h3>What is the moles of Salt required to change the temperature of water by 5°C?</h3>

Based on the given equation, the molality of the solution is calculated as follows:

  • Molality = change in temperature/ Kb × I

Change in temperature = 5 °C

Kb = 0.51

i = 2

Molality = 5/0.51 × 2 = 4.9 molal

Also, Molality = moles/kg of water

Moles of salt = molality × kg of water

Moles of salt = 4.9 × 1 = 4.9 moles.

Therefore, 4.9 moles of salt are required to be added to 1 kg water to change the boiling temperature

by 5°C.

A chemist prepares a solution of silver(II) oxide by measuring out 0.0013 of silver(II) oxide into a 100 mL volumetric flask and
azamat

Answer:

1.3x10⁻⁸ mol/L

Explanation:

<em>0.0013μmol, Calculate concentration in mol/L</em>

<em />

To obtain concentration in mol/L we need to convert the μmoles to moles and mL to liters:

<em>Moles silver(II) oxide:</em>

0.0013μmol × (1mol / 1x10⁶μmol) = 1.3x10⁻⁹ moles

<em>Liters solution:</em>

100mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.1L

That means concentration in mol/L is:

1.3x10⁻⁹ moles / 0.1L =

<h3>1.3x10⁻⁸ mol/L</h3>

Which energy source produces carbon dioxide?
HACTEHA [7]
The answer is d. natural gas. All the other choices are alternative sources of energy, and do not produce or emit any greenhouse gas such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Natural gas, on the other hand, is an organic substance containing a significant amount of carbon, that when burned for fuel, results in the emission of CO2.

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 10. L when the applied pressure is 5.0 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a vol
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

20L is the new volume

Explanation:

In this case, moles and T° from the gas remain constant. This is the formula we must apply, to solve this:

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

5 atm . 10 L = P₂ . 2.5L

P₂ = (5 atm . 10 L) / 2.5L →20L

Which statement best describes the effect of radioactive decay on a nucleus?
KATRIN_1 [288]

When radioactive decay occurs, the original nucleus splits into daughter nuclei and the resulting nucleus is more stable than the original nucleus. The nucleus can be of a different element than the original.

Unstable nuclei often undergo radioactive decay. In a radioactive decay, the unstable nucleus is broken up into other nuclei. Usually, the nuclei formed during radioactive decay are smaller in mass compared to the original nucleus.

Also, the resulting nucleus is more stable than the original nucleus. The nucleus can be of a different element than the original.
