Explanation:

The atoms of one element differs from the atoms of other elements in terms of the number of protons they contain. This is often taken as the atomic number of such an atom.

The number of proton is the best indicator of the atom one is dealing with.
Based on this number, elements are categorized into distinct columns and rows on the periodic table.
The atomic number is the number of protons or positively charge particles in the atom.

II.

It is possible to change the identity of an atom. This is only possible by altering the atomic number of the atom.

Only nuclear reactions have this capability.

When an atom undergoes nuclear reaction that involves change in number of protons, transmutation occurs and a new atom forms.

How many grams of water are needed to react with 18.9 grams of li2o? given: li2o+h2oâ2lioh?

4vir4ik [10]

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
Li₂O + H₂O ---> 2LiOH
Stoichiometry of Li₂O to H₂O is 1:1
Mass of Li₂O reacted - 18.9 g
Number of Li₂O moles reacted - 18.9 g / 30 g/mol = 0.63 mol
An equivalent amount of moles of water have reacted - 0.63 mol
mass of water required - 0.63 mol x 18 g/mol = 11.34 g
A mass of 11.34 g of water is required

Define the following: Bronsted-Lowry acid - Lewis acid- Strong acid - (5 points) Problem 6: Consider the following acid base rea

Allushta [10]

Answer: Yes, $HCl$ is a strong acid.

acid = $HCl$ , conjugate base = $Cl^-$ , base = $H_2O$ , conjugate acid = $H_3O^+$

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

Yes $HCl$ is a strong acid as it completely dissociates in water to give $H^+$ ions.

$HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-$

For the given chemical equation:

$HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^-+Cl^-$

Here, $HCl$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $Cl^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

Thus acid = $HCl$

conjugate base = $Cl^-$

base = $H_2O$

conjugate acid = $H_3O^+$ .

Answer:

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + 2H₂O

The given reaction is double displacement reaction in which anion and cation of both reactant exchanged with each other. Calcium hydroxide react with sulfuric acid and form calcium sulfate and water.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

Imagine a small synthetic vesicle made from pure phospholipids enclosing an interior lumen containing 1 mM glucose and 1 mM sodi

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

C. H2O diffuses in.

Explanation:

<em>The phospholipids-made synthetic vesicle in this case will act like a semi-permeable membrane while the solution in the interior lumen will be hypertonic to the surrounding pure water. </em>

<em>Hence, water molecules will diffuse into the lumen through the semi-permeable membrane because of the osmotic gradient that exist between the internal and the surrounding solution of the vesicle.</em>
