Answer:

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle and a proton is a positively charged subatomic particle. Positive charge(s) attract negative charge(s) and vice versa. The proton and neutron stay together and attract one another to give the atom an overall charge of zero (neutral). Which is the charge of an atom. When there is an unequal number of protons and neutrons an ion is formed. If the number of protons are more than the electron, a positively charged ion called cation is formed. On the other hand, if the number of electrons are more than the protons a negatively charged ion called anion is formed.

Answer:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

Answer: 2.58 days

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = age of sample = 6 days

a = initial amount of the reactant = 1 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.2 g

a) to find the rate constant

$6=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}$

$k=\frac{2.303}{6}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}$

$k=0.268days^{-1}$

b) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.268}=2.58days$

The half life is 2.58 days

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per

Nata [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.

Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.

Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.

In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.

Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.

$FeCl_2+I_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

10 POINTS!!! Which statement best defines a universal law?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: Universal law refers to as legal legitimacy, where those principles and rules are for governing the country. They are most universal in (AATPB) acceptability, applicability, translation, and philosophical basis. They are also considered to be most legitimate.

So basically the answer is A

They are in effect all the time.

If 72.5 grams of calcium metal (Ca) react with 65.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the exce

Natali5045456 [20]

2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
