Answer:

A

Explanation:

Atoms of elements can lose or gain electrons making them no longer neutral, they become charged. A charged atom is called an ion. When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons.

what are the mole ratios of hydrazine (n2h4) to hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) and hydrazine to water? 1:2 and 1:4 1:3 and 1:4 1:2 and
Shalnov [3]
To determine the mole ratios of the substances, we need to know the balanced chemical reaction of the system. The reaction between hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide yields to nitrogen and water. The balanced chemical reaction is:

N2H4 + 2H2O2 --> N2 + 4H2O

Therefore, the mole ratio between hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide is 1:2 and the mole ratio between hydrazine and water is 1:4.

A 6.0 M HCI solution is diluted to make 500 mL of a 2.5 M HCI solution. What volume of the 6.0 M HCI solution is required to mak
rodikova [14]

Answer:

V₁   = 208.3 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial molarity of HCl  = 6.0 M

Final volume = 500 mL

Final molarity = 2.5 M

Volume of initial solution required = ?

Solution:

Formula:

M₁V₁   =  M₂V₂

Now we will put the values in formula.

6.0 M × V₁   = 2.5 M ×500 mL

6.0 M × V₁   = 1250 M.mL

V₁   = 1250 M.mL / 6.0 M

V₁   = 208.3 mL

What did Rutherford’s scattering experiment reveal about the structure of atoms?
Stels [109]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This experiment by Rutherford involved the firing of alpha particles at gold foils. It is also. called the gold foil experiment.

He fired these alpha particles at different points. He noticed that at some points, there were deflections, while at some other points, there were no deflections. It is necessary to state that these alpha particles are positively charged. For there to be a deflection, there must have been a kind of repulsion between the gold foil and the alpha particles.

From the basic physics of like repels like, he knew for sure that there must be dense positive core in the atom that is causing the deflection of the alpha particles. This enabled him to come up with the theory that the atom contained a small dense positive core called the nucleus

A gas sample occupies 8.77 L at 20 degrees Celsius and 3.98 atm. What is
Softa [21]

Answer:

1.45 mol

Explanation:

Given data

  • Volume of the gas (V): 8.77 L
  • Temperature of the gas (T): 20 °C
  • Pressure of the gas (P): 3.98 atm

Step 1: Calculate the absolute temperature (Kelvin)

We will use the following expression.

K = \°C + 273.15\\K = 20\°C + 273.15 = 293K

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles (n) of the gaseous sample

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P \times V = n \times R \times T\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{3.98atm \times 8.77L}{\frac{0.0821atm.L}{mol.K}  \times 293K} = 1.45 mol
