When the charged balloon is brought near the wall, it repels some of the negatively charged electrons in that part of the wall. Therefore, that part of the wall is left repelled.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Balloons don't stick to walls. However, if you rub the balloon on an appropriate piece of material such as clothing or a wall, electrons are pulled from the other material to the balloon.
- The balloon now as more electrons than normal and therefore has an overall negative charge. Two balloons like this will repel each other.
- The other material now has an overall positive charge. Because opposite charges attract, the balloon will now appear to stick to the other material. If you didn't rub the balloon first, it's charge would be neutral and it wouldn't stick to the wall.
Answer:iron and oxygen combining to make rust. vinegar and baking soda combining to make sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water
Explanation:
<span>the number of neutrons they have</span>
Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,
The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:
22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol
The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:
3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol
The percentage composition by mass is:
47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)
