Answer:

atomic mass= 33

Charge= -2

Explanation:

In an atom, are contained three SUBATOMIC particles viz: proton and neutron found in the nucleus, electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons contain the positive charge of an atom while electrons contain the negative charge of an atom. The number of protons and electrons in an atom determines the charge of an ion (charged atom). Also, the atomic mass or mass number of that atom is got by adding the number of protons + number of neutrons.

In this case where the number of protons and number of neutrons are 16 and 17 respectively, the mass no. or atomic mass is 17 + 16 = 33.

Also, since two electrons are gained by this atom, it means the electron numbe, which is normally equal to the proton number in a neutral atom, will be increased by 2. Hence, the electron number will be 18 in this case.

The charge of the atom= no. of protons - no. of electrons = 16 - 18 = -2.

Fill in the left side of this equilibrium constant equation for the reaction of benzoic acid (HC_6H_5CO_2) with water.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

[C₆H₅COO⁻][H₃O⁺]/[C₆H₅COOH] = Ka

Explanation:

The reaction of dissociation of the benzoic acid in water is given by the following equation:

C₆H₅-COOH + H₂O  ⇄  C₆H₅-COO⁻  +  H₃O⁺    (1)

The dissociation constant of an acid is the measure of the strength of an acid:

HA ⇄ A⁻ + H⁺        (2)

K_{a} = \frac{[A^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HA]}      (3)

<em>Where the dissociation constant of the acid (Ka) is equal to the ratio of the concentration of the dissociated forms of the acid, [A⁻][H⁺], and the concentration of the acid, [HA].     </em>

So, starting from the equations (2) and (3), the constant equation for the dissociation reaction of benzoic acid in water, of the equation (1), is:

K_{a} = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}COO^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}COOH]}

I hope it helps you!

1. What is the best means to separate ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride? And a
ozzi

1. A mixture of ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride should be separated by sublimation.

2. A mixture of zinc chloride and silver chloride should be separated through crystallization.

<h3>What is a separation technique?</h3>

A separation technique can be defined as a technique that is typically used to separate or convert two (2) or more mixture and solution of chemical substances into distinct product such as chemical compounds or elements.

<h3>The types of separation technique.</h3>

In Chemistry, there are various types of separation technique used for the separation of mixtures or solutions and these include:

  • Crystallization
  • Fractional distillation
  • Filtration
  • Evaporation
  • Sublimation
  • Decantation
  • Simple distillation
  • Chromatography

In this scenario, the most effective and efficient means to separate a mixture of ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride is by sublimation from solid to gas state.

On the other hand, the best means to separate a mixture of zinc chloride and silver chloride is through crystallization.
