4 0

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 solution has a pH of 8.30. Determine the OH- concentration
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that

pH +pOH = 14

Given pH = 8.30

⇒ p0H = 14-8.30 = 5.70

Since, we know that

10^{-pH} = [H^{+}]

Which statement describes an advantage of nonrenewable resources?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The statement that describes the advantage of a nonrenewable energy source is that ' they are currently found in abundance' Option D.

Explanation:

Nonrenewable energy sources are sources of energy which will not be replenished after their use, their production usually takes millions of years to be accomplished, Like crude oil, the synthesis under the ground was believed to take Millenium from the various geothermic reactions that occur on the buried biomass millions of years ago.

However, since these energy sources are liable to be exhausted quickly due to their unreplenish nature, nature provides them in abundance. They are currently found in large quantity. Take for example, the coal deposit and crude oil wells which had been mined for many years before now. The continuous usage of these nonrenewable sources nevertheless makes them to be susceptible to exhaustion in some years to come.

An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CxHyOz). Combustion of 5.00g of this compound produced 7.33g of
Olegator [25]
A combustion reaction involves an organic compound reacted with oxygen. The general chemical equation is as follows:
<span>
Organic Compound + Oxygen = CO2 + H2O

</span><span>To calculate the amount of C present in the original sample, we use the values given and assume that there is complete combustion that is happening.
</span><span>
7.33 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2)(1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) = 0.167 mol C

Therefore, 0.167 mol of C was originally in the sample.</span>
