Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton

Chemistry

Explanation:

Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 1.60 g of NH4NO3 was mixed with 75.0 g of water at an initial temperature of 25.008C. After dissolu
jekas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the solution m = 1.6 + 75 = 76.6 g

fall in temperature = 25 - 23.34 = 1.66°C

heat absorbed = mass x specific heat x fall in temperature

= 76.6 x 1.66 x 4.18

= 531.5 J .

= .5315 kJ .

mol weight of ammonium nitrate = 80 g

heat absorbed by 1.6 g = .5315 kJ

heat absorbed by 80 g or one mole = 26.575 kJ

enthalpy change ΔH = +26.575 kJ

b )

enthalpy of hydration = 2630 kJ / mol

lattice energy = enthalpy of hydration + enthalpy change

= 2630 + 26.575

= 2656.575 kJ  .

Help!!! I don’t know how to solve!!!
ladessa [460]
Just use q=mCDeltaT

q=energy
m=mass
c=specific heat
Delta T= Change in temperature

Use tabulated standard electrode potentials to calculate the standard cell potential for the following reaction occurring in an
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer : The standard cell potential of the reaction is, -1.46 V

Explanation :

The given balanced cell reaction is,  

3Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cr(s)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+3Pb(s)

Here, chromium (Cr) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and act as an anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The standard values of cell potentials are:

Standard reduction potential of lead E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V

Standard reduction potential of chromium E^0_{[Cr^{3+}/Cr]}=1.33V

Now we have to calculate the standard cell potential for the following reaction.

E^0=E^0_{cathode}-E^0_{anode}

E^0=E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^0_{[Cr^{3+}/Cr]}

E^0=(-0.13V)-1.33V=-1.46V

Therefore, the standard cell potential of the reaction is, -1.46 V

Which types of atomic orbitals of the central atom mix to form hybrid orbitals in:<br> (d) SO₃²⁻?
makkiz [27]

sp3d2 hybridization has 1s, 3p and 2d orbitals, that undergo intermixing to form 6 identical sp3d2 hybrid orbitals. These 6 orbitals are directed towards the corners of an octahedron. They are inclined at an angle of 90 degrees to one another.

<h3>Which orbitals hybridize to form hybrid orbitals?</h3>

For each carbon, one 2s orbital and two 2p orbitals hybridize to form three sp2 orbitals. These hybridized orbitals align themselves in the trigonal planar structure. For each carbon, two of these sp orbitals bond with two 1s hydrogen orbitals through s-sp orbital overlap.

<h3 /><h3>What is sp3d2 hybridization?</h3>

Intermixing of one 's', three 'p' and two 'd' orbitals of almost same energy by giving six identical and degenerate hybrid orbitals is called sp3d2 hybridization. These six sp3d2 orbitals are arranged in octahedral symmetry by making 90° angles to each other.
