A uranium atom has 92 protons in its nucleus. how many electrons does it have?

sweet [91]

In a balanced, non-charged atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge)

So there are 92 electrons

When a bullet is fired from a gun what is true about the momentum

Eduardwww [97]

Before the bullet is fired the momentum is Zero because nothing is moving but once the bullet is shot the momentum increases because of the movement of the bullet moving forward.

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.8

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Complete Question

You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution was 7.82 when exactly 13 mL of base had been added, you notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M. What is the pKa of your unknown acid?

Answer:

The pK_a value is $pK_a =7.82$

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The volume of base is $V_B = 26.mL = 0.0260L$

The pH of solution is $pH = 7.82$

The concentration of the acid is $C_A = 0.1M$

From the pH we can see that the titration is between a strong base and a weak acid

Let assume that the the volume of acid is $V_A = 18mL= 0.018L$

Generally the concentration of base

$C_B = \frac{C_AV_A}{C_B}$

Substituting value

$C_B = \frac{0.1 * 0.01800}{0.0260}$

$C_B= 0.0692M$

When 13mL of the base is added a buffer is formed

The chemical equation of the reaction is

$HA_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)} --------> A^{+}_{(aq)} + H_2 O_{(l)}$

Now before the reaction the number of mole of base is

$No \ of \ moles[N_B] = C_B * V_B$

Substituting value

$N_B = 0.01300 * 0.0692$

$= 0.0009 \ moles$

Now before the reaction the number of mole of acid is

$No \ of \ moles = C_B * V_B$

Substituting value

$N_A = 0.01800 *0.1$

$= 0.001800 \ moles$

Now after the reaction the number of moles of base is zero i.e has been used up

this mathematically represented as

$N_B ' = N_B - N_B = 0$

The number of moles of acid is

$N_A ' = N_A - N_B$

$= 0.0009\ moles$

The pH of this reaction can be mathematically represented as

$pH = pK_a + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}$

Substituting values

$7.82 = pK_a +log \frac{0.0009}{0.0009}$

$pK_a =7.82$

The emission spectrum of hydrogen shows discrete, bright, colored lines. Which characteristic of the Bohr model is best supporte

natali 33 [55]

The characteristic of the Bohr model that would best support his observation is this assumption: "The energy of the electron in an orbit is proportional to its distance from the nucleus. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has." The discrete, bright, colored lines might represent the electrons and its distance from the nucleus. The lights are caused by the energy it has.
