The  statement  which is true is

metals  lose  electrons  to become cations

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • 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.

A chemical reaction produced 10.1 cm3 of nitrogen gas at 23 °C and 746 mmHg. What is the volume of this gas if the temperature a
adell [148]

Answer:

volume of gas = 9.1436cm³

Explanation:

We will only temperature from °C to K since the conversion is done by the addition of 273 to the Celsius value.

Its not necessary to convert pressure and volume as their conversions are done by multiplication and upon division using the combined gas equation, the factors used in their conversions will cancel out.

V1 =10.1cm³ , P1 =746mmHg,     T1=23°C =23+273=296k

V2 =? ,   P2 =760mmmHg ,     T2=0°C = 0+273 =273K

Using the combined gas equation to calculate for V2;

\frac{V1P1}{T1}=\frac{V2P2}{T2} \\ re-arranging, \\V2 =\frac{V1P1T2}{P2T1}

V2 =\frac{10.1*746*273}{760*296}

V2=9.1436cm³

How much thermal energy (q) is required to heat 15.2g of a metal (specific heat=0.397J/C) from 21.0C to 40.3C? Show steps please
Elena L [17]
Q = ?

Cp = 0.397 J/ºC

Δt =  40.3 - 21.0<span> => 19.3</span><span> ºC</span>

m = 15.2 g

Q = m x Cp x Δt

Q = 15.2 x 0.397 x 19.3

Q ≈ 116.46 J
