The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,

Li⁺, is 59 picometers, and the radius of a fluoride ion, F⁻, is 133 picometers.Explain, in terms of subatomic particles, why the radius of a lithium ion is smaller than the radius of a lithium atom.

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

Nitric acid can be produced by the reaction of gaseous nitrogen dioxide with water. 3 no2(g + h2o(? ?? 2 hno3(? + no(g if 538 l
Phantasy [73]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>3NO2 + H2O = 2HNO3 + NO

Assuming that the gases in this reaction are ideal gas, then we can use the conversion from L to moles which is 1 mol of ideal gas is equal to 22.4 L. We calculate as follows:

538 L NO2 ( 1 mol / 22.4L ) ( 1 mol NO / 3 mol NO2 ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 179.33 L NO is produced</span>

Baking soda, NaHCO3, can be commercially produced during a series of chemical reactions called the Solvay process. In this proce
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

CaO(s) + 2NH4Cl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + 2NH3(g)

Explanation:

The solvay process is an important process in the chemical industry. In this process, ammonia gas is first dissolved in concentrated brine to form a mixture known as ammoniacal brine. This solution is made to trickle down the tower. A counter stream of carbon dioxide is forced up the tower. The two substances react to form sodium hydrogen trioxocarbonate IV. This substance is only slightly soluble and separates out as a solid sludge. The product is now dried and heated to give sodium trioxocarbonate IV.

The overall reaction of the process can be given as;

CaO(s) + 2NH4Cl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + 2NH3(g)

Calcium chloride is merely a by-product.

Radda [10]
Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>

Explanation:

1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.

2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe. 

When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0. 

3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.

That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.

4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.

5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.
