An ion is an atom molecule that has a net electrical charge
Goshia [24]3 years ago
3 0
An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.

A block of aluminum weighing 140 g is cooled from 98.4°C to 62.2°C with the release of 1080 joules of heat. From this data, calc
GrogVix [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

Specific heat of a substance is the value that describe how the added heat energy of substance has the impact on its temperature.

Unit is <em>(\frac {J}{Kg.K})</em>

<em>C = Q/m. ∆T</em>

<em>C – Specific heat (\frac {J}{Kg.K})</em>

<em>Q- heat energy (J)</em>

<em>M – Mass (Kg)</em>

<em>∆T- change in temperature (K) </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Given data:</em>

<em>M= 140 g = 0.14 Kg</em>

<em>Q – 1080 Joules.</em>

<em>∆T – 98.4 – 62.2 = 36.2</em>

Substituting  the given data in Equation

<em>Specific heat of Aluminium  = \frac {1080}{(0.14 \times 36.2)} = 213.10 (\frac {J}{Kg.K})</em>

3. A student mixes a solid powder into a beaker of fluid. Which of the following would indicate that a chemical change has defin
Ket [755]

Explanation:

A chemical change is a change in which a new kind of substance is produced. Such changes are always accompanied by energy changes.

They are mostly reversible.

Some examples of such reactions are combustion, rusting of iron, precipitation, rancidity of butter, souring of milk.

  • There might be some little change in mass
  • It requires a considerable amount of energy

`Remember that an acid is something that donates hydrogen ions. So, when considering the formula HC2H3O2 (acetic acid), which of
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The H in the carboxyl group.

Explanation:

Acetic acid can be written as CH₃COOH, where -COOH is the functional group carboxyl, responsible for the acidity of organic acids. The H in the carboxyl group is the one that is donated in the acid reaction.

CH₃COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺

Acetic acid is a weak acid, so just a small fraction of the molecules undergo this reaction to donate their hydrogen.
