Lead has an atomic number of 82. Which statement describes all neutral atoms and ions of lead?

IRINA_888 [86]

The neutral atom of lead must have 82 protons while ions can have b or less than 82.

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of the element.

Also, for neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

In ionic form, the number of protons/electrons of an atom may vary and be different from that of the neutral form.

Positive charges mean that the ion has less proton than its neutral version while negative charges mean that it has more electrons than its neutral version.

Thus, the neutral atom of lead will contain an equal number of protons as the electrons while its ionic form can have more or less than 82 protons.

Solid sodium reacts violently with water, producing heat, hydrogen gas, and sodium hydroxide. How many molecules of hydrogen gas

Zinaida [17]

Answer: Number of molecules of hydrogen gas $6.32\times 10^{32}$

Explanation:

$2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2$

Number of moles of sodium = $\frac{\text{mass of sodium}}{\text{molar mass of sodium}}=\frac{48.7 g}{23 g/mol}=2.11mol$

According to reaction , 2 moles of sodium produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas , then 2.11 mol of sodium will= $\frac{1}{2}\times 2.11 mol$ of hydrogen gas that is 1.05 moles of hydrogen gas.

Number of molecules = $N_A(\text{Avogadro number})\times$ moles of substance

Moles of hydrogen gas formed = 1.05 moles

Number of molecules of hydrogen gas = $N_A\times$ moles of hydrogen gas

Number of molecules of hydrogen gas $=6.022\times 10^{23} mole^{-1}\times 1.05 mole=6.32\times 10^{32}$

650.J is the same amount of energy as? 2720cal 1550cal 650.cal 2.72cal

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Ans: 650 J = 155 calories

Given:

Energy in joules = 650 J

To determine:

The energy in calories

Explanation:

1 joule = 0.2388 calories

Therefore, 650 joules = 0.2388 calories * 650 J/1 J = 155 calories

4. How can acids and bases behave in terms of electrolytes/reactivity?

icang [17]

Answer:

Strong acids are strong electrolytes. Such acids ionize completely.

Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes. Such bases and acids ionize only to a small extent.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are the substances that produce ions when they are dissolved in water. Electrolytes can be categorized as bases, acids, and salts.

Strong acids are strong electrolytes. Such acids ionize completely.

Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes. Such bases and acids ionize only to a small extent.
