<h2>Required Answer :- </h2>

- In the question it is asked how many numbers of protons are present in a sodium atom.

- We know that the atomic number of sodium is 11.

- Sodium atom means it is in its neutral state, the neutral sodium atom has no charge on it.

- We know that the atomic number of an element is always equal to the number of protons for the particular element.

- Therefore the atomic number of sodium is 11 and the number of protons in sodium are 11.

<h3>Additional information :- </h3>

If we know the atomic number of an element then only we can find the number of protons, neutrons and electrons present in it. The number of electrons in an element is equal to the atomic number of the respective element

The atomic weight of the sodium is 23.

The number of neutrons in sodium = Atomic weight of sodium – number of protons in sodium

= 23 – 11 = 12.

So, the number of neutrons in sodium is equal to 12.

The number of electrons in sodium is equal to the atomic number of sodium. Then the number of electrons in sodium is equal to 11.

Therefore the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in sodium are 11, 12 and 11 respectively.

Why do you use the same amount of water for each shape of ice?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Ice is a solid form of liquid. Water simply expands when it freezes.

The same amount of water for each shape of ice because the melting rate of ice depends on the surface area of each shape. So the same amount of water or volume with a large surface area will remain frozen for longer time.

Calculate the concentration of h3o⁺ in a solution that contains 5.5 × 10-5 m oh⁻ at 25°c. Identify the solution as acidic

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: $[H_3O^+]=1.6\times 10^{-10}M$ , the solution is basic

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.Neutral substances have pH of 7.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

Putting in the values:

$pOH=-\log[5.5\times 10^{-5}]$

$pOH=4.2$

$pH+pOH=14$

$pH=(14-pOH)=(14-4.2)=9.8$

$9.8=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.6\times 10^{-10}M$

As pH is more than 7, the solution is basic

The process of chlorination in water treatment aims at ?

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Chlorowanie wody jest procesem względnie tanim – koszt zbudowania samej instalacji do dezynfekcji, jak również koszt operacyjny wytworzenia 1 metra sześciennego uzdatnionej chlorem wody jest niższy od dezynfekcji wody za pomocą ozonu. Źródłem chloru w procesie dezynfekcji jest zazwyczaj podchloryn sodu, rzadziej dwutlenek chloru.
