The statement which is true is

metals lose electrons to become cations

Explanation

metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
The positively charged ion is known as cations.
for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)

Answer:

Metals lose electrons to become cations.

Explanation:

You have to lose electrons for it to be a cation, therefore B and D are false and can be eliminated.

Nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become anions, therefore C is incorrect and can be eliminated.

A is the only answer left, and it is scientifically correct.

Unstable isotopes undergo radioactive decay. what occurs during radioactive decay?

mel-nik [20]

Here is what radioactive decay is:
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

A metallurgical firm wishes to dispose of 1200 gallons of waste sulfuric acid whose molarity is 1.05 M. Before disposal, it will

Reil [10]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation for this process:

$H_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(s)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+CaSO_4(aq)$

$194.51 is the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this process

$H_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(OH)_2(s)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+CaSO_4(aq)$

Moles of sulfuric acid = n

Volume of sulfuric acid disposed = V = 1200 gallons = 3.785 × 1200 L = 4,542 L

1 gallon = 3.785 Liter

Morality of the sulfuric acid = M = 1.05 m

$Molarity(M)=\frac{n}{V(L)}$

$n=m\times V=1.05 M\times 4,542 L=4,769.1 mol$

According to reaction, 1 mol of sulfuric acid reacts with 1 mole of calcium hydroxide.Then 4,769.1 moles of sulfuric acid will recat with ;

$\frac{1}{1}\times 4,769.1 mol=4,769.1 mol$ of calcium hydroxide

Mass of 4,769.1 moles of calcium hydroxide:

4,769.1 mol 74 g/mol = 352,913.4 g

= $\frac{352,913.4 }{453.6} pounds =778.03 pounds$

(1 pound = 453.6 grams)

Cost of 1 pound of slaked lime = $0.25

Cost of 778.03 pounds of slaked lime = $0.25 × 778.03 = $194.51

$194.51 is the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.

How does mass affect heat absorbed

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the transferred heat is equal to the change in the internal energy, the heat is proportional to the mass of the substance and the temperature change. The transferred heat also depends on the substance so that, for example, the heat necessary to raise the temperature is less for alcohol than for water. Hope that helps!:)
