Explanation:
When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

Answer:</h3>
0.111 J/g°C
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
- Mass of the unknown metal sample as 58.932 g
- Initial temperature of the metal sample as 101°C
- Final temperature of metal is 23.68 °C
- Volume of pure water = 45.2 mL
But, density of pure water = 1 g/mL
- Therefore; mass of pure water is 45.2 g
- Initial temperature of water = 21°C
- Final temperature of water is 23.68 °C
- Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C
We are required to determine the specific heat of the metal;
<h3>Step 1: Calculate the amount of heat gained by pure water</h3>
Q = m × c × ΔT
For water, ΔT = 23.68 °C - 21° C
= 2.68 °C
Thus;
Q = 45.2 g × 4.184 J/g°C × 2.68°C
= 506.833 Joules
<h3>Step 2: Heat released by the unknown metal sample</h3>
We know that, Q = m × c × ΔT
For the unknown metal, ΔT = 101° C - 23.68 °C
= 77.32°C
Assuming the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is c
Then;
Q = 58.932 g × c × 77.32°C
= 4556.62c Joules
<h3>Step 3: Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal sample</h3>
- We know that, the heat released by the unknown metal sample is equal to the heat gained by the water.
4556.62c Joules = 506.833 Joules
c = 506.833 ÷4556.62
= 0.111 J/g°C
Thus, the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.111 J/g°C
Answer:
Option 3. The catalyst does not affect the enthalpy change (
) of a reaction.
Explanation:
As its name suggests, the enthalpy change of a reaction (
) is the difference between the enthalpy of the products and the reactants.
On the other hand, a catalyst speeds up a reaction because it provides an alternative reaction pathway from the reactants to the products.
In effect, a catalyst reduces the activation energy of the reaction in both directions. The reactants and products of the reaction won't change. As a result, the difference in their enthalpies won't change, either. That's the same as saying that the enthalpy change
of the reaction would stay the same.
Refer to an energy profile diagram. Enthalpy change of the reaction
measures the difference between the two horizontal sections. Indeed, the catalyst lowered the height of the peak. However, that did not change the height of each horizontal section or the difference between them. Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction stayed the same.
I have attached the answer. hopefully, i read the problems correctly. let me know if I did not.
both problems are an example of beta decays. when an atoms' atomic number is increased by one. this is symbolized with -1 e
