The given statement is false.

Electrons are negatively charged and do contribute to the overall charge of the atom.

An atom is neutral in charge because in an atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the overall negative charge of the electrons is balanced by the positive charge of the protons.

However, if the number of electrons ( negatively charged) is greater than or less than the number of protons (positively charged ), then the atom will no longer remain neutral and it will become either a negatively charged ion (anion) or a positively charged ion (cation) respectively.

The two methods in the lab for measuring the volume of a geometric solid object are weighing it on the balance and measuring it

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Measuring with a ruler and using final volume minus initial volume

Explanation:

You can measure the volume of a geometric object by measuring its sides with a ruler and calculating the volume according to the corresponding formula for each object. For example, for a rectangular prism it would be

$volume=length*width*height$

You can also measure the volume of an object by measuring how much water it displaces. To do this you have to fill a measuring cylinder with enough water for the object to be completely submerged and take note of the volume. Then, add the object and note again the volume of the water+object. The difference between both is the volume of the object.

$Volume of the object= volume of water and object - volume of water$

The advantage of the second method is that it can be used for objects with irregular shapes as long as they do not float.

How many moles of Calcium Oxide are needed to produce 4 moles of Calcium Hydroxide?

Tpy6a [65]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

CaO: 1 mole
H₂O: 1 mole
Ca(OH)₂: 1 mole

<h3>Moles of CaO required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometric reaction 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaO, 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are produced by how many moles of CaO?

$moles of CaO=\frac{2 moles of Ca(OH)_{2}x1 mol of CaO }{1 mole of Ca(OH)_{2}}$

moles of CaO= 2 moles

Finally, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.

28 grams of Al react with 30 Oxygen gas (O2) to produce Al Oxide (Al2O3). How many grams of Al Oxide will be produced

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Explanation:

Due to conservation of energy, the sum of the reactants = the sum of the products. So 28 + 30 = 58g

1. A given mass of air has a volume of 6.00 L at 80.0°C. At constant pressure, the temperature is

earnstyle [38]

3 L will be the final volume for the gas as per Charle's law.

Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of gases has two significant law which forms the backdrop of motion of gases. They are Charle's law and Boyle's law. As per Charle's law, the volume of any gas molecule at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the molecule.

V∝ T

Since, here two volumes are given and at two different temperatures with constant pressure. Then as per Charle's law, the relation between the volumes of air at different temperature will be

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} }= \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

So in this case, V1 = 6 L and T1 = 80° C. Similarly, T2 = 40° C. So we have to determine the V2.

$\frac{6}{80}=\frac{V_{2} }{40}$

$V_{2}=\frac{6*40}{80}=3 L$

So, 3 L will be the final volume for the gas as per Charle's law.
