Define mass number

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

protons plus neutrons

Explanation:

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. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

while the number of protons or number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

rite stepwise equations for protonation or deprotonation of this polyprotic species in water. What are the products of the first
adoni [48]

<u>Answer:</u> The products of the given chemical equation are HCO_3^-\text{ and }OH^-

<u>Explanation:</u>

Protonation equation is defined as the equation in which protons get added in the substance.

The chemical equation for the protonation of carbonate ion in the presence of water follows:

CO_3^{2-}+H_2O\rightarrow HCO_3^-+OH^-

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbonate ion reacts with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of hydrogen carbonate ion and 1 mole of hydroxide ion

Hence, the products of the given chemical equation are HCO_3^-\text{ and }OH^-

Which substance is used to remove rust from metal
wel
<span>Chemically speaking, rust is a base and any acid will remove it. The choice of acid is going to be the thing to consider, since acid + base = salt and water. Phosphoric acid left a residue because the salt Iron phosphate is insoluble in water. Iron's soluble salts include the chloride, the sulfate and the nitrate. Industrially speaking, you need to "pickle" your iron. Pickling is a process in which dilute sulfuric acid is used to remove any surface corrosion prior to either painting or plating an iron surface. Sulfuric acid is ordinary battery acid and the salt Iron sulfate is not toxic. Sulfuric acid is one of the most common acids used (besides hydrochloric acid). The dilute kind is not terribly corrosive but concentrated sulfuric acid is a thick, syrupy liquid which can cause some nasty chemical burns if allowed to remain on the skin. It also heats up quite a lot when water is added, so this is an "Acid to water not water to acid" situation. The other choice is Hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid. The 20% concentrate is available in nearly any hardware store. It isn't as corrosive as concentrated sulfuric acid, but it has a burning, acrid stench, so never use the concentrate without adequate ventilation. It is ordinarily used to remove hard water deposits (boiler scale) but does a good on on rust as well. Concentrated Iron chloride isn't entirely inert but lots of rinsing will turn it back into harmless rust/sludge, especially if the rince water is naturally hard. Nitric acid will remove corrosion from anything, but it is extremely corrosive, smells worse then Hydrochloric acid and isn't easy to get, since it can be used to create some powerful explosives</span>
