What does the nucleus of an atom do to its own electrons? To the electrons of a nearby atom?

1 answer:

5 0

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.

An atom is made up of energy levels that contain electrons which are negatively charged and the nucleus which contains neutrons and protons that are negatively charge .

Due the positive charge of the nucleus of an atom, an atom always want to attract its electrons and keep them near it however it weakly attracts the other electrons of a nearby atom.

How does the law of conservation of mass relate to the number of atoms of each element that are present before a reaction vs. th

TiliK225 [7]

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.

The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.

According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.

The ΔHcomb value for anethole is -5539 kJ/mol. Assume 0.840 g of anethole is combusted in a calorimeter whose heat capacity (Cal

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Final temperature of calorimeter is 25.36^{0}\textrm{C}

Explanation:

Molar mass of anethole = 148.2 g/mol

So, 0.840 g of anethole = $\frac{0.840}{148.2}moles$ of anethole = 0.00567 moles of anethole

1 mol of anethole releases 5539 kJ of heat upon combustion

So, 0.00567 moles of anethole release $(5539\times 0.00567)kJ$ of heat or 31.41 kJ of heat

6.60 kJ of heat increases $1^{0}\textrm{C}$ temperature of calorimeter.

So, 31.41 kJ of heat increases $(\frac{1}{6.60}\times 31.41)^{0}\textrm{C}$ or $4.76^{0}\textrm{C}$ temperature of calorimeter

So, the final temperature of calorimeter = $(20.6+4.76)^{0}\textrm{C}=25.36^{0}\textrm{C}$

Consider the following balanced equation:

algol [13]

Moles of PF₃ : 4

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

$\tt P_4(s)+6F_2(g)\rightarrow 4PF_3(g)$

1.25 moles of P₄(s) is reacted with 6 moles of F₂(g)

Limiting reactant : the smallest ratio (mol divide by coefficient)

P₄ : F₂ =

$\tt \dfrac{1.25}{1}\div \dfrac{6}{6}=1.25\div 1\rightarrow F_2~limiting~reactant(smallest~ratio)$

mol PF₃ based on mol of limiting reactant(F₂), so mol PF₃ :

$\tt \dfrac{4}{6}\times 6~moles=4~moles$

When of alanine are dissolved in of a certain mystery liquid , the freezing point of the solution is less than the freezing poin

LenaWriter [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When 177. g of alanine $(C_3H_7NO_2)$ are dissolved in 800.0 g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is $5.9^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. On the other hand, when 177.0 g of potassium bromide are dissolved in the same mass of X, the freezing point of the solution is $7.2^oC$ lower than the freezing point of pure X. Calculate the van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X.

<u>Answer:</u> The van't Hoff factor for potassium bromide in X is 1.63

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depression in the freezing point is defined as the difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent and the freezing point of the solution.

The expression for the calculation of depression in freezing point is:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$
