T<span>he charges themselves may not move fast, but the force upon them does. The electric field set up by the battery or generator propagates through the wires at the speed of light.

Which of the following species cannot act as a Lewis base?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

NH4+

Explanation:

A Lewis base is a substance with the ability to share or give pairs of electrons.

The NH4 + ammonium ion donates a proton, therefore the ammonium ion is a Lewis acid.

To gain an idea as to how many atoms are in a gram or so of copper, use the larger balance
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must understand the relationship between mass of a substance and the number of atoms.

Atoms are the smallest indivisible particles of any matter. A substance can be made up of several number of atoms in their space.

The mass of any substance is a function of the amount of atoms its contains.

The mass of a substance is related in chemistry to the amount of atoms its contains using the parameter called the number of moles.

A mole is the amount of substance that contains the Avogadro's number of particles. This number is 6.02  x 10²³ particles. The particles here can be protons, neutrons, electrons, atoms e.t.c.

Now,

             Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

          Molar mass of copper  = 63.6g/mole

         Number of moles  = \frac{2}{63.6}  = 0.03mole

Since 1 mole of a substance contains  6.02  x 10²³atoms

        0.03 mole of copper will contain 0.03 x  6.02  x 10²³atoms

                                                    = 1.89 x 10²² atoms

He needs to add 1.89 x 10²² atoms to make 2g of the sample.

What will be the end product for each electrode after electrolysis if the solution is concentrated aqueous sodium chloride ?​
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Cathode: Hydrogen gas

Anode: Chlorine gas

Explanation:

① Write down the ions present in the electrolyte

Cations: Na⁺, H⁺

Anions: Cl⁻ , OH⁻

② Decide which ions are preferentially discharged.

These are the factors:

For the discharge of cations,

- Reactivity series

(The lower the position of the cation in the reactivity series, the easier it is to be discharged)

For the discharge of anions,

- Concentration effect (look at this first)

(The more concentrated the ion, the easier for it to be discharged)

- If solution is not concentrated (dilute), look at the position of the anion on the electrochemical series.

(The lower the position of the anion on the electrochemical series, the easier of it to be discharged)

In this case:

For cations, H⁺ ions are selectively discharged at the cathode as its position is lower than Na⁺ in the reactivity series.

Anion: Cl⁻ ions, being more concentrated, are selectively discharged at the anode.

☆For electrolysis,

Cation at the cathode (-ve terminal)

Anion at the anode (+ve terminal)

In summary, here's what happened at each electrode:

<u>C</u><u>athode</u>

- H⁺ selectively discharged

- ionic half equation: 2H⁺ (aq) +2e⁻ → H₂ (g)

<u>Anode</u>

- Cl⁻ ions selectively discharged

- ionic half equation: 2Cl⁻ (aq) → Cl₂ (g) + 2e⁻

Water is wet. true or false? Why?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

True water is wet because when something is wet in this case it's water it has water on it at a molecular level. Water molecules are bonded on top of each other so it's wet.

Describe a chemical formula give an example
Vlad1618 [11]

A chemical formula identifies each constituent element by its chemical symbol and indicates the proportionate number of atoms of each element.

<em>For example, the empirical formula of ethanol may be written C2H6O because the molecules of ethanol all contain two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom.</em>
