1. Describe the difference between an electron and a proton in terms of their charge.​

Chemistry

Zarrin [17]2 years ago

Explanation:

Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Neutrons have no charge.

Hydrobromic acid, HBr, is a strong acid. Hydrofluoric acid, HF, is a weak acid. If you prepared equal
snow_tiger [21]
HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.

In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.

pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.

If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.

Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.

Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.

Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.

Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.

Which discovery did J. J. Thomson make that improved upon Dalton's atomic theory?
erik [133]

Answer: Atoms contain tiny, negatively charged electrons

Explanation: Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes helped him to discover the electron (which Dalton did not know about). Dalton thought that atoms were indivisible particles, and Thomson's discovery of the electron proved the existence of subatomic particles.

Which of the following measurements is used to measure the enthalpy of combustion? A. None of these B. Measuring the change in t
DaniilM [7]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a substance, the total energy of its molecular motion is known as heat. Whereas when we measure the average energy of molecular motion of a substance then it is known as temperature.

So, any increase or decrease in temperature will lead to change in heat of a substance.

When one mole of a substance is burned then the amount of energy released  in the form of heat is known as heat of combustion.

Relation between heat and temperature is as follows.

                    q = m \times C \times \Delta T

Thus, we can conclude that to measure the enthalpy of combustion it cannot be measured, only calculated using the equation; q = mc \Delta T.
