Answer: Protons

WHY?
Changing electrons will only result in the same element having different charges and hence, changing it's chemical properties.

Changing neutrons will not change an element but it will result in an isotope forming instead. (Isotopes are elements of the same type with different neutron numbers.)

However, changing the proton number would immediately change the nucleus composition, resulting in a change in element with a negative charge as there are more electrons than protons. This results in a expansion in valance electrons's distance from the nucleus. This results in a change in chemical properties of the element.

Therefore, a change in Protons is the answer.

What is the pH of a 2.0 x 10^-4 M solution of nitric acid (HNO3)
Semmy [17]

Hello!

datos:

Molarity = 2.0*10^{-4}\:M\:(mol/L)


ps: The ionization constant of the nitric acid is strong (100% ionized in water) or completely dissociates in water, so the pH will be:

pH = - log\:[H_3O^+]

pH = - log\:[2*10^{-4}]

pH = 4 - log\:2

pH = 4 - 0.30

\boxed{\boxed{pH = 3.70}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Note:. The pH <7, then we have an acidic solution.

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR!

Lab report calorimetry and specific heat <br> HELP PLZ
dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be calculated using the following equation: q = mc∆T In the equation q represents the amount of heat energy gained or lost (in joules ), m is the mass of the substance (in grams), c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g °C), and ∆T is the temperature change of the substance

How do you boil water less than 100​
natita [175]

Answer: When pressure cooker is used steam is trapped in the pot and it increases the pressure above the water. this causes the water to boil at a temperature more than 100 C. when you pull back on the plunger, the pressure in the syringe is reduced and the liquid boils at a lower temperature
