Answer:

An atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons.

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.

The average speed of oxygen molecules in air is about ____. (1 point) 0 km/h 170 km/h 1700 km/h 17,000 km/h

LenKa [72]

The average speed is calculated using the following formula $speed = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m} }$

Where

$k = 1.381 X 10^{-23} J / K$

T = 298 K [room temperature]

m = mass of each molecule of oxygen

mass of one mole of oxygen molecules = 32 g / mol

mass of one molecule of oxygen will be = $\frac{32}{6.023 X 10^{23} }$

mass of one molecule of oxygen will be = $5.31 X 10^{-23} g = 5.31 X 10^{-26} kg$

putting values

average speed = $\sqrt{\frac{3 X 1.381 X 10^{-23} X 298}{5.31 X 10^{-26} kg} }$

Average speed = 482.19 m / s

average speed = 1735.8 km / h

so approx = 1700 km/h

How many grams of HCl(aq) are required to react completely with 1.25g of Zn(s) to form ZnCl2(aq) and H2

faltersainse [42]

1.39 g HCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is given by

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) ---> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Convert the # of grams of Zn to moles:

1.25 g Zn × (1 mol Zn/65.38 g Zn) = 0.0191 mol Zn

Use the molar ratio to find the # of moles of HCl needed to react completely with the given amount of Zn:

0.0191 mol Zn × (2 mol HCl/1 mol Zn) = 0.0382 mol HCl

Convert this amount to grams:

0.0382 mol HCl × (36.458 g HCl/1 mol HCl) = 1.39 g HCl

In a titration experiment a student uses 1.4 m hbr solution and the indicator phenolphthalein to determine the concentration of

Likurg_2 [28]

The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below:
...........................................................................................................................

Answer:
Given: conc. of HBr = 1.4 M
Volume of HBr = 15.4 mL
Volume of KOH = 22.10 mL

We know that, M1V1 = M2V2
(HBr) (KOH)

Therefore, M2 = M1V1/V2
= 1.4 X 15.4/22.10
= 0.9756 M

Concentration of KOH is 0.9756 M.
