Answer:

Explanation:

An atom is considered to be neutral before losing or gaining any electrons. They are neutral in charge because they initially have the same number of protons (with charge of +1 each) and electrons (with a charge of -1 each).

Consider charge in an electron like a balance, with positively charged protons on one side and negatively charged electrons on the other. When you have the same number of each, there is equal amounts of positive and negative charge so the atom is neutral with a charge of zero.

For example, potassium has 19 protons, and 19 electrons. This means it has

19 positive charges and 19 negative charges. If you take away one electron, it now has 19 positive charges and 18 negative charges. So there is one more positive charge than negative, which means it is now an ion (a charged atom) with a charge of +1. If you take away two electrons the charge becomes +2... 4 electrons the charge becomes +4.

Answer: 54.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

$\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.0M\times 0.05=0.05mole$

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.0\times 0.05L=0.05mole$

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.05 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.05 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.05 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water:

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = $50ml+50ml=100ml$

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 100ml=100g$

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

$c$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

m = mass of water = 100 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = $27.5^0C$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature of metal = $21.0^0C$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=100g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (27.5-21.0)^0C$

$q=2719.6J=2.72kJ$

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = 2.72 KJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization per mole of $HCl$ :

0.05 moles of $HCl$ releases heat = 2.72 KJ

1 mole of $HCl$ releases heat = $\frac{2.72}{0.05}\times 1=54.4KJ$

Thus the enthalpy change for the reaction in kJ per mol of HCl is 54.4 kJ

Bas_tet [7]

I believe the correct answer would be option 4. The only statement that is true would be that it is difficult to responsibly dispose of nuclear waste products. This is because nuclear waste products are radioactive and are very harmful to the society and to the environment. It could cause serious damage to every being in contact to it.
