5 0

Explanation:

Loss of one or more electrons by a neutral atom will help the neutral atom to acquire a positive charge.

For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and to stabilize itself it needs to lose one electron. So, by losing an electron it will change into Na^{+} ion.

On the other hand, gain of one or more electrons by a neutral atom will help the neutral atom to acquire a negative charge.

For example, Cl has atomic number 17 and to fill its octet completely it need one more electron. So, by gaining an electron is will change into Cl^{-} ion.

Therefore, we can conclude that an ion is an atom with a net electrical charge due to loss or gain of electrons.

Question 15 need this answered asap (chemistry)
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

80.7 L

Explanation:

PV = nRT

P = 1520 mmHg = 2 atm

n = 5 mol

R = 0.08206 (L * atm)/(mol * K)

T = 393.15 K

2 (V) = 5 (0.08206) (393.15)

V ≈ 80.7 L

Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".

How is the concentration of h3o ions and oh- ions different in an acid solution and a basic soulution?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In an acidic solution, the concentration of H+ is greater than the concentration of OH-. The pH will be less than 7.
In a basic solution, the concentration of OH- is greater than the concentration of H+. The pH will be greater than 7.
In a neutral solution, the concentration of H+ ions to OH-ions will be equal, and will therefore have a pH of 7. (This is due to water autoionization, which we usually ignore because it is small in other circumstances.)
