Why does the lithium atom develop a positive charge?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lithium develops a positive charge because it has one valence electron. Instead of lithium trying to steal 7 electrons from other elements to obtain an octet, it is easier to lose its one electron to become stable. Because neutral atoms contain the same amount of protons and electrons, when lithium loses one electron, there is one more proton than electrons.

In other words

Lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons in its neutral state, but it loses one electron to become stable so it now has 3 protons and 2 electrons, and there is one more proton than electrons: +3 -2 = +1 charge

the hemiacetal below is treated with 18o-labeled methanol (ch3o*h) and acid. where will the label appear in the products?
ioda

The 18o-labeled methanol (CH3O*H) will appear in the products side at position b.

<h3>Position of 18o-labeled methanol in the products</h3>

The 18O label will appear at position b in the product as indicated in the image.

This methoxy group in the product formed in position b comes from the 18O-labeled methanol (CH3OH).

While the oxygens at positions a and c in the product come from the unlabeled hemiacetal.

Thus, the 18o-labeled methanol (CH3O*H) will appear in the products side at position b.

In each case, decide if the change is a "chemical change" or a "physical change". a) A cup of household bleach changes the color
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:A cup of household bleach changes the color of your favorite T-shirt from purple to pink. - chemical change

Water vapor in your exhaled breath condenses in the air on a cold day.- physical change

Plants use carbon dioxide from the air to make sugar.- chemical change

Butter melts when placed in the Sun- physical change

Explanation:

A chemical change leads to the formation of a new substance and is not easily reversible. A physical change does not lead to the formation of a new substance and is easily reversible. Physical changes include condensation, melting,etc while a chemical change is a chemical reaction.

What is the mass of helium atom whose atomic weight is 4.003 g/mol?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Atoms He (Avogadro’s number) → Moles of He (molar mass of He) → Mass of He

• molar mass of He (from the periodic table) = 4.003 g/mol

• Avogadro’s Number: Avogadro’s number gives us the number of entities present in 1 mole: 6.022 × 1023 He atoms in 1 mole of He

In the laboratory a student finds that it takes 44.0 Joules to increase the temperature of 10.6 grams of solid zinc from 24.9 to
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

44.0 J needed

Mass of solid zinc = 10.6 grams

Initial temperature = 24.9 °C

Final temperature = 36.4 °C

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the specific heat of zinc

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with Q = heat (in Joule) = 44.0 J

⇒ with m = the mass of the solid zinc = 10.6 grams

⇒ with c = the specific heat of the zinc = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2-T1 = 36.4 °C - 24.9 °C = 11.5 °C

44.0 J = 10.6 grams * c * 11.5°C

c = 44.0 J / (10.6g * 11.5 °C)

c = 0.361 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C
