What characteristic of an element’s atoms always determines the element’s identity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Number of protons

Explanation:

There are three sub atomic particles. These are;

- Protons

- Electrons

- Neutrons

Among these three particles, only one determines the identity of the element. This is the Protons. The number of protons which is also called the atomic number determines the identity of an element. For instance, atom with one proton is Hydrogen and n other element can have atomic number of one.

A balloon at 25°C has 30 L. What will the balloon's volume at 35°C?
anygoal [31]

The balloon's volume at 35°C : V₂=31.01 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

T₁ = 25°C+273 = 298 K

V₁ = 30 L

T₂ = 35 °C + 273 = 308 K

Required

The new volume (V₂)

Solution

Charles's Law  

When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature  

\tt \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

Input the value :

V₂=(V₁.T₂)/T₁

V₂=(30 x 308)/298

V₂=31.01 L

How many moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) are needed to react completely with 6.2 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO3)? 2AgNO3 + CaC
nexus9112 [7]

Here we have to choose the right option which tells the moles of CaCl₂ will react with 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ in the reaction

2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂→ 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

6.2 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) will react with B. 3.1 moles of calcium chloride (CaCl₂).

From the reaction: 2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂→ 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

Thus 2 moles of AgNO₃ reacts with 1 mole of CaCl₂

Henceforth, 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ reacts with \frac{6.2}{2} = 3.1 moles of CaCl₂.

1 mole of CaCl₂ reacts with 2 moles of AgNO₃. Thus-

A. 2.2 moles of CaCl₂ will react with 2.2×2 = 4.4 moles of AgNO₃.

C. 6.2 moles of CaCl₂ will reacts with 6.2×2 = 12.4 moles of AgNO₃.

D. 12.4 moles of CaCl₂ will reacts with 12.4 × 2 = 24.8 moles of AgNO₃

Thus the right answer is 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ will react with 3.1 moles of CaCl₂.

How do I balance this equation? ?KNO3 → ?K2O + ?N2(g)+ ?O2(g) and what type of reaction is it?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Explanation:

It's a decomposition, but not a simple one.

KNO3 ==> K2O + N2 + O2   I don't usually do this, but I think the easiest way to proceed is to  balancing the K and N together. That will require a 2 in front of KNO3

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Now you have (3*4) = 12 oxygens. Two are on the K2O. So the other 10 must be on the O2

That should do it.
