In a particular calcium atom, number of protons are 20, number of neutrons are 21 and that of electrons are 19. Here, protons are positively charged particles, neutrons are neutral and electrons are negatively charged particles. For a neutral atom, number of protons should be equal to number of electrons. If number of protons are more than number of electrons cation will form (positive charge) and if number of protons are less than number of electrons anion will form (negative charge).

Here, number of protons are 20 and that of electrons are 19, protons is 1 more than electron thus, Ca will get one positive charge and exist as Ca^{+}. Thus, the electrical charge on the atom will be +1.

Answer:

The answer is " $= 0.078 \ kg \ H_2$ ".

Explanation:

calculating the moles in $CH_4 =\frac{PV}{RT}$

$=\frac{(0.58 \ atm) \times (923 \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(232^{\circ} C +273)}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(505)K}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (41.4605 \frac{L \cdot atm}{mol})}\\\\= 12.9 \ mol$

Eqution:

$CH_4 +H_2O \to 3H_2+ CO \ (g)$

Calculating the amount of $H_2$ produced:

$= 12.9 \ mol CH_4 \times \frac{3 \ mol \ H_2 }{1 \ mol \ CH_4}\times \frac{2.016 g H_2}{1 \ mol \ H_2}\\\\= 78 \ g \ H_2 \\\\= 0.078 \ kg \ H_2$

So, the amount of dihydrogen produced = $0.078 \frac{kg}{s}$

During the formation of a chemical bond between two hydrogen atoms, which of the following statements is always true?

Wewaii [24]

A) Energy is released during the formation of the bond.

Explanation:

During the formation of a chemical bonds between two hydrogen atoms, energy is always released during the formation of this bond type.

Bond formation process is usually exothermic and energy is released during the formation of the bond.

Bond breaking process is an endothermic process in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding.
Whenever a bond is broken, the bond energy value is positive but when a bond is formed, the bond energy value is given a negative sign.

For a bond formation process in which hydrogen atoms are bonded covalently, energy is usually released.

45 Three samples of the same solution are tested, each with a different indicator. All three indicators, bromthymol blue, bromcr

ANEK [815]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 4.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Bromothymol blue, Bromocresol green and Thymol blue are the indicators which change their color according to the change in pH of the solution.

The pH range and color change of these indicators are:

Bromothymol Blue: The pH range for this indicator is 6.0 to 7.5 and color change is from yellow to blue. It appears yellow below pH 6.0 and blue above pH 7.5
Bromocresol green: The pH range for this indicator is 3.5 to 6.0 and color change is from yellow to blue. It appears yellow below pH 3.5 and blue above pH 6.0
Thymol Blue: The pH range for this indicator is 8.0 to 9.6 and color change is from yellow to blue. It appears yellow below pH 8.0 and blue above pH 9.6

As, the highest pH of all the indicators is 9.6, so every indicator will appear blue above pH 9.6.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
