Ca²⁺ion has a lower ratio of charge to volume.

The charge density of an ion is defined as the ratio of the charge of an ion to its volume. Scandium ion has high charge density than calcium ions. The charge density of an ion is defined as the ratio of the charge of an ion to its volume.

Charge density also depends on the size of the ion and valence electrons. The volume of an ion increases with its size. It is inversely proportional to ion volume and directly proportional to charge magnitude. Scandium and calcium are IV periodic elements with atomic numbers of 21 and 20 respectively. Scandium loses three electrons and has a +3 charge and calcium is a divalent cation. Hence, the Scandium ion has high charge density than the calcium ion.

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L at 198 ºC. Assuming that the pressure remains constant, what tem
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L

Temperature = 198 °C = 471 K

The volume will be reduced to 2.50 L

Step 2 Calculate the new temperature via Charles' law

V1/T2 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 5.10 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 471 K

⇒with V2 = the reduced volume of the gas = 2.50 L

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

5.10 L / 471 K = 2.50 L / T2

T2 = 2.50 L / (5.10 L / 471 K)

T2 = 230.9 K = -42.1

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

If the same materials are used to build a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell, how would the chemical reactions compare?
nadya68 [22]
In the electrolytic cell, depending on the polarity of the battery, either a more vigorous reaction (though the same as the voltaic cell) would occur, or the reverse would.
