The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
  • Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

Suppose, in an experiment to determine the amount of sodium hypochlorite in bleach, you titrated a 26.34 mL sample of 0.0100 M K
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.1 M

Explanation:

The overall balanced reaction equation for the process is;

IO3^- (aq)+ 6H^+(aq) + 6S2O3^2-(aq) → I-(aq) + 3S4O6^2-(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Generally, we must note that;

1 mol of IO3^- require 6 moles of S2O3^2-

Thus;

n (iodate) = n(thiosulfate)/6

C(iodate) x V(iodate) = C(thiosulfate) x V(thiosulfate)/6

Concentration of iodate C(iodate)= 0.0100 M

Volume of iodate= V(iodate)= 26.34 ml

Concentration of thiosulphate= C(thiosulfate)= the unknown

Volume of thiosulphate=V(thiosulfate)= 15.51 ml

Hence;

C(iodate) x V(iodate) × 6/V(thiosulfate) = C(thiosulfate)

0.0100 M × 26.34 ml × 6/15.51 ml = 0.1 M

How many electrons are transferred in the given redox reaction?<br><br> Zn+2AgNO3⟶2Ag+Zn(NO3)2
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

2 electrons are transfered in this reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation is a reaction where an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons, while reduction corresponds to the electron gain of an atom, ion, or molecule.

In an oxidation-reduction reaction two simultaneous processes take place, oxidation and reduction.

So, oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. They are also called electron transfer reactions since the particle that is exchanged is the electron.

In this case:

Zn(s) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

2 Ag⁺  (aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 Ag(s)

So, zinc metal loses two electrons to form the zinc(II) ions, while the two silver ions each gain one  electron to form two silver metal atoms.

Then, Zn is a reducing agent (The reducing agent is the one that provides the electrons, oxidizing itself), AgNO3 is an oxidizing agent (The oxidizing agent is the one that traps the electrons, reducing itself).

Finally, you can see that <u><em>2 electrons are transfered in this reaction.</em></u>

A 5.00 L sample of helium expands to 12.0 L at which point the
mina [271]

Answer:

1.73 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of helium = 5.00 L

Final volume of helium = 12.0 L

Final pressure = 0.720 atm

Initial pressure = ?

Solution:

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ × 5.00 L = 0.720 atm × 12.0 L

P₁ = 8.64 atm. L/5 L

P₁ = 1.73 atm

Consider the following chemical reaction: CO (g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g) At equilibrium in a particular experiment, the concentratio
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of CH₃OH is 0.28 M

Explanation:

For the reaction: CO (g) + 2H₂(g) ↔ CH₃OH(g)

The equilibrium constant (Keq) is given for the following expresion:

Keq= \frac{(CH3OH)}{(CO) x (H2)^{2}} =14.5

Where (CH3OH), (CO) and (H2) are the molar concentrations of each product or reactant.

We have:

(CH3OH)= ?

(CO)= 0.15 M

(H2)= 0.36 M

So, we only have to replace the concentrations in the equilibrium constant expression to obtain the missing concentration we need:

14.5= \frac{(CH_{3}OH) }{(0.15 M) x (0.36 M) ^{2} }

14.5 x (0.15 M) x (0.36)^{2} = (CH₃OH)

0.2818 M = (CH₃OH)
