Answer:

B) 5

Explanation:

When an atom lose are gain the electron ions are formed.

There are two types of ions. Cation and anion.

Cation:

It is formed when an atom lose the electrons.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

Anion:

It is formed when an atom gain the electron.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

if an atom has 8 protons it means there were eight electrons present. when it lost three electron it have +3 charge and number of electron that remain are five. 8-3 = 5

Calculate the energy required to heat 322.0g of ethanol from −2.2°C to 19.6°C . Assume the specific heat capacity of ethanol und
just olya [345]

Answer:

There is 17.1 kJ energy required

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethanol = 322.0 grams

Initial temperature = -2.2 °C = 273.15 -2.2 = 270.95K

Final temperature = 19.6 °C = 273.15 + 19.6 = 292.75 K

Specific heat capacity = 2.44 J/g*K

Step 2: Calculate energy

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of ethanol= 322 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat capacity of ethanol = 2.44 J/g*K

⇒ ΔT = T2 - T1 = 292.75 - 270.95 = 21.8 K

Q = 322 * 2.44 * 21.8 = 17127.8 J = 17.1 kJ

There is 17.1 kJ energy required

Calculate the concentration of all species in a 0.160 m solution of h2co3.
enot [183]

             H₂CO₃ ⇔       HCO₃⁻   +     H⁺

I            0.160               0                 0

C            -x                  +x               +x

E          0.160-x          +x                +x

Ka1 = [HCO₃⁻][H⁺] / [H₂CO₃]

4.3 x 10⁻⁷ = x² / (0.160-x)   (x is neglected in 0.160-x = 0.160)

x² = 6.88 x 10⁻⁸

x = 2.62 x 10⁻⁴

             HCO₃⁻    ⇔            CO₃⁻²    +   H⁺

I          2.62 x 10⁻⁴               0                2.62 x 10⁻⁴

C          -x                            +x              +x

E       2.62 x 10⁻⁴ - x           +x              2.62 x 10⁻⁴ + x

Ka2 = [CO₃⁻²][H⁺] / [HCO₃⁻]

5.6 x 10⁻¹¹ = x(2.62 x 10⁻⁴ + x) / (2.62 x 10⁻⁴ - x)

x = 5.6 x 10⁻¹¹

Thus,

[H₂CO₃] = 0.160 - (2.62 x 10⁻⁴) = 0.16 M

[HCO₃⁻] = 2.62 x 10⁻⁴ - ( 5.6 x 10⁻¹¹) = 2.6 x 10⁻⁴ M

[CO₃⁻²] = 5.6 x 10⁻¹¹ M

[H₃O⁺] = 2.62 x 10⁻⁴ + 5.6 x 10⁻¹¹ = 2.6 x 10⁻⁴ M

[OH⁻] = 3.8 x 10⁻¹¹
