Answer:

i would say 10, so the anser is A.

Explanation:

because there are the same number of protons and electrons, therefore for a regular O, you are supposed to have only 8 protons, but it is charged, thus, whatever the charge is will be taken into consideration into how much the proton and electron doe it have. Thus, for this case, it has 10, because the charge is negative and you have 8 electron plus 2 = 10.

How does an atom become a positively charged ion

sladkih [1.3K]

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

1. Show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature in any isolated system (hint: use entropy change

Inga [223]

Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

= Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

= Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg - S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

If gatorade g series, endurance formula, contains 14 grams of carbohydrate per 8 ounces, how many ounces should a basketball pla

Mashcka [7]

Based on recommended amount of carbohydrate, a basketball player should consume about 17 - 34 ounces of gatorade g series during the hour-long game.

<h3>How many ounces of endurance formula gatorade g series, endurance formula should a basketball player consume during an hour-long game if it contains 14 grams of carbohydrate per 8 ounces?</h3>

Carbohydrates are food substances metabolized easily by the body to produce energy.

Given that the recommended amount of carbohydrate to consume to maintain performance is 30–60 g/h.

Also 14 grams of carbohydrate found in 8 ounces of the drink.

30 g of carbohydrate will be present in 30 × 8/14 = 17.1 ounces of gatorade g series

60 g of carbohydrate will be present in 60 × 8/14 =34.3 ounces of gatorade g series.

Therefore, a basketball player should consume about 17 - 34 ounces of gatorade g series during the hour-long game.
