Charge = Number of Proton - Number of Electron
Charge = 9 - 10
charge = -1

So, your final answer is -1

Hope this helps!

Does Graphene come from natural materials? Give an explanation

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Actually graphene is not occurred in naturally.

Explanation:

graphene is a layer or a sheet which is extracted from graphite because graphite is layered material. most of the time famous scotch tape may produce graphene but you can't identify it without using electron microscope

Which biome has leaves that change color and fall off as winter approaches?

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The temperate forest usually covers the tropical and the taiga region. The trees in this forest region experience all the four seasons namely summer, autumn, winter and spring. It comprises approximately 25% of the total forest-covered region on earth. The leaves of these trees change color during the autumn season, which eventually falls off during the winter season, and again, new leaves grow back during the spring season. This enables the plants to survive and go through the cold temperature in the winter.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Which statement is true about sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?

Leokris [45]

Answer: D. It is a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxide ions.

Explanation: A base is a substance which dissociates to give hydroxide ions in water.

An acid is a substance which dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water.

$NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-$

So $NaOH$ is a base as it gives $OH^-$ ions when dissolved in water.

Which aqueous solution would have the lowest vapor pressure at 25°c 1 M NaCl?

aleksley [76]

The question is incomplete, here is a complete question.

Which aqueous solution would have the lowest vapor pressure at 25°c.

A) 1 M NaCl

B) 1 M $K_3PO_4$

C) 1 M $C_{12}H_{10}O_{11}$

D) 1 M $MgCl_2$

E) 1 M $C_6H_{12}O_6$

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 1 M $K_3PO_4$

Explanation :

According to the relative lowering of vapor pressure, the vapor pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal to the mole fraction of that component of the solution multiplied by the vapor pressure of that component in the pure state.

1 M means that the 1 moles of solute present in 1 liter of solution.

Formula used :

$\frac{\Delta p}{p^o}=i\times X_B$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of the pure component (water)

$p_s$ = vapor pressure of the solution

$X_B$ = mole fraction of solute

i = Van't Hoff factor

As we know that the vapor pressure depends on the mole fraction of solute and the Van't Hoff factor.

So, the greater the number of particles of solute dissolved the lower the resultant vapor pressure.

(a) The dissociation of 1.0 M $NaCl$ will be,

$NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^-$

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = $Na^++Cl^-$ = 1 + 1 = 2

(b) The dissociation of 1 M $K_3PO_4$ will be,

$K_3PO_4\rightarrow 3K^{+}+PO_4^{3-}$

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = $3K^{+}+PO_4^{3-}$ = 3 + 1 = 4

(c) The dissociation of 1 M $C_{12}H_{10}O_{11}$ is not possible because it is a non-electrolyte solute. So, the Van't Hoff factor will be, 1.

(d) The dissociation of 1.0 M $MgCl_2$ will be,

$MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^{-}$

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = $Mg^{2+}+2Cl^{-}$ = 1 + 2 = 3

(e) The dissociation of 1 M $C_6H_{12}O_{6}$ is not possible because it is a non-electrolyte solute. So, the Van't Hoff factor will be, 1.

From this we conclude that, 1 M $K_3PO_4$ has the highest Van't Hoff factor which means that the solution will exhibit the lowest vapor pressure.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) 1 M $K_3PO_4$
