Answers

Answer:

 24He

Explanation:

When a nuclide is bombarded with alpha particles, we notice an increase in its mass and charge since an alpha particle has a mass of four and a charge of +2. recall that nuclear equations must be balanced. That is, the masses and charges on the left hand six and the right hand side of the nuclear reaction equation must be exactly the same.

Looking at the nuclear reaction at hand, the total mass on the left hand side has to be 246 while the total charge on the left hand side of the equation will be 98. Coming over to the right hand side, the total masses are also found to be the same as a neutron with no charge and a mass of 1 is produced. Hence the nuclear reaction equation is balanced when an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is substituted for X in the equation.

Why were scientists surprised to find coal in the arctic?

Answers

Answer:

coal is made from compressed plant matter and how exactly did plants grow on the surface of an ocean. (as there is no land mass beneath the arctic.)

Explanation:

it would be like finding a fly in an ice cube to simplify it.

They were surprised to find coal in arctic because ordinarily coal was supposed to be found in warm or hot environments and not cold region like the arctic.

The arctic is located at the far northern part of the world which is characterized by its extreme cold weather.

A limited vegetation of plants such as grasses, mosses and lichens are found in this region irrespective of the extreme cold weather through out the year.

Coal is a type of fuel gotten from fossils and deposits of plant vegetation.

Scientist has discovered that continents do move over time through a process called continental drift. This is the reason why limited vegetaion is found in the arctic leading to the formation of coal.

A calcium atom differs from a calcium ion in that the atom has a greater

A)
number of electrons

B)
number of protons

C)
atomic number

D)
mass number

Answers

Answer:

A) number of electrons

Explanation:

A calcium atom has 20 electrons while a calcium ion has 18 electrons since it loses 2 electrons to form a stable octet structure. The formula of a calcium ion is Ca2+.

The number of protons does not change, neither do the number of neutrons. Atomic number is the proton number which is equals to the number of protons, hence B and C is wrong. Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons. Hence it doesnt change too and D is wrong.

Only the number of electrons change when an atom forms an ion.

63.2 g of BaCl 2 are dissolved in enough water to make a 634 mL solution. What is the molarity?

Answers

Answer:

0.479 M or mol/L

Explanation:

So Molarity is moles/litres of solution...often written as M=mol/L

So here we are given grams of BaCl2 which we have to convert to moles. To convert to moles of BaCl2 we have to divide 63.2 g BaCl2 by molar mass of BaCl2 which is 208.23 g/mol so you get 63.2/208.23 = 0.3035 moles of BaCl2

Second step is converting the 634mL to litres by simply dividing by 1000 because we know 1 litre has 1000ml so 634/1000 = 0.634L

Now we just plug these guys in our molarity formula M=mol/L

M= 0.3035/0.634 = 0.479 M or mol/L

Answer:

Interestingly enough, I'm not getting

0.0341% w/v

either. Here's why.

Start by calculating the percent composition of chlorine,

Cl

, in calcium chloride, This will help you calculate the mass of chloride anions,

Cl

, present in your sample.

To do that, use the molar mass of calcium chloride, the molar mass of elemental chlorine, and the fact that

1

mole of calcium chloride contains

2

moles of chlorine atoms.

×

35.453

g mol

110.98

g mol

1

100

%

=

63.89% Cl

This means that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chlorine.

As you know, the mass of an ion is approximately equal to the mass of the neutral atom, so you can say that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chloride anions,

Cl

.

This implies that your sample contains

0.543

g CaCl

2

63.89 g Cl

100

g CaCl

2

=

0.3469 g Cl

Now, in order to find the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions in the resulting solution, you must determine the mass of chloride anions present in

100 mL

of this solution.

Since you know that

500 mL

of solution contain

0.3469 g

of chloride anions, you can say that

100 mL

of solution will contain

100

mL solution

0.3469 g Cl

500

mL solution

=

0.06938 g Cl

Therefore, you can say that the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions will be

% m/v = 0.069% Cl

I'll leave the answer rounded to two sig figs, but keep in mind that you have one significant figure for the volume of the solution.

A. Liquid water stops entering the gas phase.
O B. The concentration of liquid water equals the concentration of

C. The concentrations of liquid water and water vapor are stable.
D. The concentration of liquid water is zero.

Answers

C. The concentrations of liquid water and water vapor are stable. it describes the fact that liquid water and water vapor are at equilibrium.

EquilibriumAn equilibrium is achieved when no more water vapor can enter into the gas phase from the liquid water during evaporation process. This happens when a saturation is attained between liquid water and the vapor phase.

Hence, option (c) is correct. The concentration of liquid water and water vapor will become stable.

Group of answer choices

The volume of the gas will decrease

The pressure of the gas will increase

The volume of the gas will increase

The pressure of the gas will decrease

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is The pressure of the gas will increase

The volume of the gas will increase

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The gas in a container is heated, this means the temperature increases

Suppose we start with a temperature of 100 K and a pressure of 1 atm and a volume of 1L

Step 2:

V1/T1= V2/T2

⇒V1 = the initial  volume = 1L

⇒T1 = the initial temperature = 100 K

⇒V2 = the new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒T2 = the increased temperature = 200 K

1/100 = V2 / 200

V2 = 2 L

This means when the temperature increases, the volume will increase

P1/T1 = P2/T2

⇒P1 = the initial pressure = 1 atm

⇒T1 = the initial temperature = 100 K

⇒P2 = the new pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒T2 = the increased temperature = 200 K

1/100 = P2 / 200

P2 = 2 atm

This means when the temperature increases, the pressure will increase

The correct answer is The pressure of the gas will increase

The volume of the gas will increase

How are electrons similar and different to the planet Earth?

Answers

Answer:

The planets themselves are composed of several trillions or quadrillions or more atoms. As far as hard science is concerned, it would be really hard to picture them as electrons. Conclusion: It can be said with a great accuracy that our planets are NOT huge electrons.

Rutherford's experiments showed that the mass of atoms was mostly concentrated in a very small region, with charge equal to the atomic number- the nucleus. He absolutely did not show, nor is it true, that electrons orbit the nucleus as if they were planets. That was a guess people made in trying to figure out how to picture the atom.

What Le Chatelier’s factors cause an increase in the concentration of Hb(CO)4(aq) in the Hb(CO)4(aq) + 4O2(g)Hb(O2)4(aq) + 4CO(g)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Hb(CO)4(aq) + 4O2(g)  ⇄  Hb(O2)4(aq) + 4CO(g)

1 )  If we increase the concentration of CO(g) , the reaction above will proceed in reverse direction to decrease its concentration,  according to Le Chatelier principle. Hence more of Hb(CO)4(aq) will be formed.

2 )  If we decrease the concentration of O₂ , then also , reaction will proceed in reverse direction . Hence concentration of Hb(CO)4(aq) will be increased .
