Answer: With atomic number 20, calcium atoms have 20 positive protons, and the ion has only 18 electrons, which means the net charge is +2. Calcium ions are essential for muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and bone maintenance.

A solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was standardized against potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). A known mass of KHP was titra
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we need to use the following expression to get the concentration of the base:

MaVa = MbVb (1)

We already know the volume of NaOH used which is 13.4473 mL. We do not have the concentration of KHP, but we can use the moles. We have the mass of KHP which is 0.5053 g and the molecular formula. Let's calculate the molecular mass of KHP:

Atomic weights of the elements to be used:

K = 39.0983 g/mol;  H = 1.0078 g/mol;  C = 12.0107 g/mol;  O = 15.999 g/mol

MM KHP = (1.0078*5) + (39.0983) + (8*12.0107) + (4*15.999) = 204.2189 g/mol

Now, let's calculate the mole of KHP:

moles = 0.5053 / 204.2189 = 0.00247 moles

With the moles, we also know that:

n = M*V (2)

Replacing in (1):

n = MbVb

Now, solving for Mb:

Mb = n/Vb  (3)

Finally, replacing the data:

Mb = 0.00247 / (13.4473/1000)

Mb = 0.184 M

This would be the concentration of NaOH

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
andreev551 [17]

Answer is: 10 moles of water will be produced.

Balanced chemical reaction of formation of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

n(H₂) = 10 mol; amount of hydrogen gas.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂) : n(H₂O) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

n(H₂O) = n(H₂).

n(H₂O) = 10 mol; amount of water.

What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?
Helen [10]

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles γ
  • positron particles ₁e⁰

O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same

Reaction

 \tt _8^{15}O\Rightarrow _7^{15}N+_1^0e

The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7

If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
