QveST [7]4 years ago

Hi,

Atom is the second smallest form of any matter behind elementary particles. They are not visible to human eye. It consists of protons and neutrons in the atom core and electrons outside its core. All protons, neutrons and electrons are a part of atomic nuclei.

The more neutrons atom haves the bigger the mass of an atom is.

Number of electrons determines which element does atom represent. The more electrons atom haves the heavier element atom represents.

Different elements have different properties.

Hope this helped you understand what atom is better.

Hope this helps.

What volume, in mL, of concentrated 16 M nitric acid would you need to use in order to prepare 500.0 mL of a 0.250 M HNO3(aq) so
shtirl [24]

Given :

Initial concentration of nitric acid, C_1 = 16\ M.

Final concentration of nitric acid, C_2 =  0.250 \ M.

Volume of HNO_3, V _2= 500\ mL = 0.5\ L .

To Find :

Volume needed( V_1 ).

Solution :

We know,

C_1V_1 =C_2V_2\\\\16 \times V_1 = 0.250 \times  0.5 \\\\V_1 = \dfrac{0.250 \times  0.5}{16}\\\\V_1 = 0.0078125\ L = 7.8125 \ mL

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which compounds, on heating with an excess of concentrated sulfuric acid, produce only one product with molecular formula C7H10?
podryga [215]

Answer:

1 and 2

Explanation:

When Concentrated H2SO4 reacted with the alcohols, they produce cycloalkenes. This is a mechanism known as dehydration of alcohols with an acid catalyst. This is because concentrated H2SO4 acts as a great oxidizing agent. In the process, the alcohols are heated to a high temperature with an excess of pure sulfuric acid. By passing the gases through a sodium hydroxide solution, the carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide produced by reactive species are eliminated. The reaction mechanism shown in the image below indicates that only compounds 1 and 2 produce only one product.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

D) a salt bridge

Explanation:

A salt bridge completes an electrochemical cell. A salt bridge maintains charge balance in the two half cells. If the salt bridge is not present, the anode compartment becomes positively charged while the cathode compartment becomes negatively charged hence the reaction reaches equilibrium and comes to a halt quickly.
