Answer:
5 atoms
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".
We finish with what we start with in a chemical reaction. Although new species might form, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression will still be maintained.
All chemical reactions obey this law of conservation.
Answer is: (3) ionic and molecular.
Ionic compounds are made of ions held together with ionic bonds.
Ionic bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.
For example compound magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) has ionic bond (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
Magnesium (metal) transfers two electrons (became positive cation) to chlorine (became negative anion).
Molecular compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms are connected with covalent bonds.
Covalent bond is bond between nonmetals.
For example, molecule carbon monoxide CO has covalent bond.
Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are nonmetals.
Carbon atom and oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond (six shared electrons in three bonding molecular orbitals) that is formed of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.
Answer:
All of these are true
Explanation:
A buffer solution in chemistry is a solution that resists changes in pH when an acid or base is added to it. It is a solution that contains a weak acid and its conjugate base (anion) or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
A buffer is able to resist a change in pH due to the conjugate base and conjugate acid of the weak acids and bases contained in them respectively. The conjugate base/acid are present in an equilibrium quantity with their acid/base counterparts and help to neutralize or react with any additional H+ or OH- from an acid or base added to their solution.
However, when a strong acid or base is added to the buffer solution, there is only a slight change which practically does not change the pH of the solution.
Hence, all of the above options about a buffered solution is true.
