Answer:

False- The number of electrons does not affect the type of element.

Explanation:

The adding/removing of protons is what changes the type of element. for example, if you have a molecule of Boron, which has 5 protons, and you add one proton, you will have created a carbon molecule with 6 protons. The number of protons of an element is its atomic number. Elements can have varying numbers of both electrons and neutrons without changing the type of element.

When a skin diver is on the top of the water at 1.03 atm, her lung volume is 3.62L. How will the volume of her lungs change as s

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

–2.23 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the final volume. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 1.03 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.62 L

Final pressure (P₂) = 2.68 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.03 × 3.62 = 2.68 × V₂

3.7286 = 2.68 × V₂

Divide both side by 2.68

V₂ = 3.7286 / 2.68

V₂ = 1.39 L

Finally, we shall determine the change in volume. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 3.62 L

Final volume (V₂) = 1.39 L

Change in volume (ΔV) =?

ΔV = V₂ – V₁

ΔV = 1.39 – 3.62

ΔV = –2.23 L

Thus, the change in the volume of her lung is –2.23 L.

NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the volume of her lung reduced as she goes below the surface!

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The balanced net ionic equation is

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.

Consider the following mechanism for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution. H+ + H2O2 ? H3

Margarita [4]

Answer: The rate law for the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]$

Explanation:

Rate law is the expression which is used to express the rate of the reaction in terms of the molar concentration of reactants where each term is raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient respectively from a balanced chemical equation.

In a mechanism of the reaction, the slow step in the mechanism determines the rate of the reaction.

The chemical equation for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution follows:

$2H^++2Br^-+H_2O_2\rightarrow Br_2+2H_2O$
