Answer:Protons are positively charged is the correct statement about an atom

I've also corrected the other statements

Atoms contain protons and neutrons in their nucleus

Neutrons posses no charge and are neutral

The nucleon number is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus

LenKa [72]

Chemists use reactions to generate a desired product. For the most part, a reaction is only useful if it occurs at a reasonable rate. For example, a reaction that took 8,000 years to complete would not be a desirable way to produce brake fluid. However, a reaction that proceeded so quickly that it caused an explosion would also not be useful (unless the explosion was the desired result). For these reasons, chemists wish to be able to control reaction rates. In order to gain this control, we must first know what factors affect the rate of a reaction. We will discuss some of these factors in this section.

Which profile best describes the reaction C(s) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g), AH = -74.9 kJ?

katrin [286]

Answer:

Option B. A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

C(s) + 2H₂ (g) —> CH₄ (g). ΔH = –74.9 kJ

From the reaction above, we can see that the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative (i.e –74.9 KJ) which implies that the heat content of the reactants is greater than the heat content of the products. Thus, the reaction is exothermic reaction.

For an exothermic reaction, the energy profile diagram is drawn in such a way that the heat content of reactants is higher than the heat content of products because the enthalpy change

(ΔH) is always negative.

Thus, diagram A (i.e option B) gives the correct answer to the question.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an epoxide opening in acid medium. The first step then is the protonation of the oxygen. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most stable carbocation. The nucleophile ( $CH_3OH$ ) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is deprotonated to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule (S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol.
