Suppose an atom gains an e-. What will be the overall electrical charge? What if an atom loses one e-?

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.

You are given a cube of lead that is 1.000 cm on each side. The density of lead is 11.35. How many atoms of lead are in the samp

aliya0001 [1]

11.35 g atoms of lead are in the sample.

What does density mean?

The density of an area refers to the quantity of things—which may include people, animals, plants, or objects—there are in it.
Divide the number of objects by the area's measurement to determine density.
A country's population density is calculated by dividing its total population by its area, expressed in square kilometers or miles.

We can calculate the volume of the cube by cubing the side of the cube.

Volume of cube = ( 1.000 cm)³

= 1.000 cm³

We can now determine the amount of lead in the cube by multiplying by the density. Because we know we have a 1.000 cubic centimeter and that lead has a density of 11.35 grams per cubic centimeter, we have 11.35 grams of lead.

= ( 1.000 cm³) ( 11.35 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ )

= 11.35 g

Answer:

Final volume 30.513 L.

Explanation:

According to general gas equation:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Given data:

Initial volume = 17 L

Initial pressure = 2.3 atm

Initial temperature = 299 K

Final temperature = 350 K

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1.5 atm

Solution:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂

V₂ = 2.3 atm × 17 L × 350 K / 299 K × 1.5 atm

V₂ = 13685 atm .L. K / 448.5 K . atm

V₂ = 30.513 L

A city continuously disposes of effluent from a wastewater treatment plant into a river. The minimum flow in the river is 130 m3

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

$2.54\ \text{mg/L}$

Explanation:

C = Allowable concentration = 1.1 mg/L

$Q_1$ = Flow rate of river = $130\ \text{m}^/\text{s}$

$Q_2$ = Discharge from plant = $37\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}$

$C_1$ = Background concentration = 0.69 mg/L

$C_2$ = Maximum concentration that of the pollutant

The concentration of the mixture will be

$C=\dfrac{Q_1C_1+Q_2C_2}{Q_1+Q_2}\\\Rightarrow C_2=\dfrac{C(Q_1+Q_2)-Q_1C_1}{Q_2}\\\Rightarrow C_2=\dfrac{1.1(130+37)-130\times 0.69}{37}\\\Rightarrow C_2=2.54\ \text{mg/L}$

The maximum concentration that of the pollutant (in mg/L) that can be safely discharged from the wastewater treatment plant is $2.54\ \text{mg/L}$ .
