Answer:

If the protons in the atom outnumber the electrons, the isotope has more positive charges than negative charges but If the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons, the ion charge will be negative.

The charge of an isotope is defined by how many more protons there are than electrons.

Or the other way around.

For example if there are 4 protons and 2 electrons, the ion charge is +2 because there are more protons.

If there are 4 electrons and 2 protons, the ion charge is -2 because there are more electrons.

List three changes of state during which energy is absorbed

brilliants [131]

"Changes of state are physical changes. They occur when matter absorbs or loses energy. Processes in which matter changes between liquid and solid states are freezing and melting. Processes in which matter changes between liquid and gaseous states are vaporization, evaporation, and condensation."

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?

Vinil7 [7]

Protons = Positive Charge

Neutrons = Neutral Charge/No Charge

Electrons = Negative Charge

This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.

Protons

Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.

Neutrons

Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.

Electrons

Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.

an engineer wishes to design a container that will hold 12.0 mol of ethane at a pressure no greater than 5.00x10*2 kPa and a tem

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The minimum volume of the container is 0.0649 cubic meters, which is the same as 64.9 liters.

Explanation:

Assume that ethane behaves as an ideal gas under these conditions.

By the ideal gas law,

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T$ ,

$\displaystyle V = \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}$ .

where

$P$ is the pressure of the gas,
$V$ is the volume of the gas,
$n$ is the number of moles of particles in this gas,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant, and
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas (in degrees Kelvins.)

The numerical value of $R$ will be $8.314$ if $P$ , $V$ , and $T$ are in SI units. Convert these values to SI units:

$P =\rm 5.00\times 10^{2}\;kPa = 5.00\times 10^{2}\times 10^{3}\; Pa = 5.00\times 10^{5}\; Pa$ ;
$V$ shall be in cubic meters, $\rm m^{3}$ ;
$T = \rm 52.0 \textdegree C = (52.0 + 273.15)\; K = 325.15\; K$ .

Apply the ideal gas law:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}V &= \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}\\ &= \frac{12.0\times 8.314\times 325.15}{5.00\times 10^{5}}\\ &= \rm 0.0649\; m^{3} \\ &= \rm (0.0649\times 10^{3})\; L \\ &=\rm 64.9\; L\end{aligned}$ .

The cost of painting the circular traffic sign shown below is $3.50 per square foot. How much, to the nearest dollar, will it co

KiRa [710]

The cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

Explanation:

The cost of painting the circular traffic sign is given as 3.50 dollar per square feet. The diameter of the traffic sign is 36 inch, then its radius will be $\frac{36}{2} = 18$ inches.

But as the cost is given in unit of feet, we have to convert the radius from inches to feet.

1 inches = 0.0833 feet

18 inches = 18 × 0.0833 feet

So, the radius of the traffic sign will be approximately equal to 1.5 feet.

The area of the traffic sign will be $\pi r^{2} = 3.14 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 = 7.065$ square feet.

So, if the cost of painting 1 square feet of traffic sign is 3.50 dollar, then

cost of painting 7.065 square feet of traffic sign = 3.50 × 7.065 = 24.7 dollar.

Thus, the cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

A solution with [ OH] of 5 x 10-3 has a pH of

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

11·699

Explanation:

Given the concentration of hydroxide ion in the solution is 5 × $10^{-3}$ M

Assuming the temperature at which it is asked to find the pH of the solution be 298 K

<h3>At 298 K the dissociation constant of water is $10^{-14}$ </h3><h3>∴ pH + pOH = 14 at 298 K</h3><h3>pOH of the solution = -log( concentration of hydroxide ion )</h3>

∴ pOH of the given solution = - log(5 × $10^{-3}$ = -0·699 + 3 = 2·301

pH of the given solution = 14 - 2·301 = 11·699

∴ pH of the solution = 11·699
