Each number is defined by the number of protons.

Answer:

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in each atom and defines the element. For example, all carbon atoms contain 6 protons in their atomic nucleus; so the atomic number of carbon is 6.

What does the number of an element represent?

The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. It is identical to the charge number of the nucleus.

If the pH of vinegar is 3.0, what is the concentration of H+ in vinegar?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: The concentration of $H^{+}$ ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

Explanation:

Given: pH = 3.0

pH is the negative logarithm of concentration of hydrogen ion.

The expression for pH is as follows.

$pH = - log [H^{+}]$

Substitute the value into above expression as follows.

$pH = - log [H^{+}]\\3.0 = - log [H^{+}]\\conc. of H^{+} = antilog (- 3.0)\\= 0.001 M$

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of $H^{+}$ ions in vinegar is 0.001 M.

Which term can be used to describe the process in the reaction below? 2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g)

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Decomposition

Explanation:

If we look at the process;

2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g)

We can see that NaHCO3 was broken down into Na2CO3, H2O and CO2.

The breakdown of one compound to yield other chemical compounds is known as decomposition.

Hence the NaHCO3 was decomposed in the process above.
