Answer:

Explanation:

I searched it up:

"The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the exact position and momentum of an electron cannot be simultaneously determined. This is because electrons simply don't have a definite position, and direction of motion, at the same time! ... We know the direction of motion."

Hope this helps :D

When an atom gains an electron, the resulting particle is calledA) a proton.B) an anion.C) a cation.D) an isotope.E) none of the
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

B) an anion

Explanation:

During bonding atoms may share electron or give out electron . In the case of electrovalent or ionic bonding, electron(s) is/are transferred from one atom to another . The atom that donate the electron are known as donor atom and the atom that receives the electron are known as receivers.

The atom that donate the electron becomes a cation(positively charged) as it lose it electron(s) while the receiver gains electron to become an anion which is a negatively charge ion.  

An example of such interaction is between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom.  The Na atom lose it electron to become positively charged(cation) while the chlorine atom gains electron to become negatively charged(anion). Both atom bond together losing and gaining electron to fulfill the octet rule.

A chemist dissolves of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The t
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

12.99

Explanation:

<em>A chemist dissolves 716. mg of pure potassium hydroxide in enough water to make up 130. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. (The temperature of the solution is 25 °C.) Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of KOH: 716. mg (0.716 g)
  • Volume of the solution: 130. mL (0.130 L)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.716 g of KOH

The molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

0.716 g × 1 mol/56.11 g = 0.0128 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of KOH

[KOH] = 0.0128 mol/0.130 L = 0.0985 M

Step 4: Write the ionization reaction of KOH

KOH(aq) ⇒ K⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The molar ratio of KOH to OH⁻is 1:1. Then, [OH⁻] = 0.0985 M

Step 5: Calculate the pOH

We will use the following expression.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.0985 = 1.01

Step 6: Calculate the pH

We will use the following expression.

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 -1.01 = 12.99

4. describe three ways carbon dioxide was removed from the Earth's atmosphere.

Answer: Forests: Photosynthisis helps clear carbon dioxide naturally, Soils naturally store carbon, but agricultural soils are running a big deficit due to intensive use. Because agricultural land is so expansive, Bio-energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is another way to use photosynthesis to combat climate change. However, it is far more complicated than planting trees or managing soils — and it doesn’t always work for the climate.

5. Explain why there is now 21% Oxygen in the Earth's atomosphere compaired to little or no Oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere 4.5 billion years ago.

Answer: cientists believe that the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence.The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen. There were smaller proportions of water vapour, ammonia and methane. As the Earth cooled down, most of the water vapour condensed and formed the oceans.

Even though so much energy is required to form a metal cation with a 2+ charge, the alkaline earth metals form halides with gene
nasty-shy [4]

The ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.

<h3>What is alkaline earth metal? </h3>

The alkaline earth metals are those elements which correspond to group 2 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this group forms a cation of +2 charge.

The other elements of this group are:

Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.

<h3>What is Halogen? </h3>

The Halogen elements are present in group 17 of the modern periodic table.

All elements of this groups forms anions of -1 charge.

The elements of this group are:

Fluorine, Chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

∆Hrxn = ∆H(bond broken) - ∆H(bond formed)

We have following data of bond energy in kJ/mol:

Mg—Mg = 738

Cl—Cl = -349

Mg—Cl = 783.5

Since, one mole of Mg react with one mole of Cl atom to form one mole of MgCl

∆Hrxn = 738-349-783.5

∆Hrxn = -394.5kJ/mol.

Thus, we concluded that the ∆Hrxn of the reaction is -394.5kJ/mol.
