How does the size change when an atom forms a cation and when an atom forms an anion?

Chemistry

mario62 [17]3 years ago

<span>A cation is an atom that loses a valence electron. When a valence electron is released there is one electron less to create a repulsive force. The loss of a repulsive force will allow the atom to pull tighter together. An anion would therefore be larger in size due to increased repulsion of the valence electrons.</span>

What are the correct half reactions for the following reaction:
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.

Explanation:

  • It is a redox reaction that is consisted of two half-reactions:

Oxidation reaction:

Zn losses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Zn²⁺:

<em>Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻.</em>

<em></em>

Reduction reaction:

H⁺ gains 1 electron and is reduced to H:

<em>2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.</em>

For an object to sink
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

For and object to sink, it must have more density than the liquid in which it is placed. For example, if you have a glass of water and a metal spoon, the spoon will sink because it is both heavier than the water, therefore having more density.

Identify both the cellular structure that assembles these proteins and the kinds of molecules that are used as the building bloc
Blizzard [7]
The basic building blocks of proteins are the amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in a protein that we consume and the protein in our body. These amino acids link together to form large molecules. The 20 amino acids are divided into two groups called the essential and non-essential amino acids.

A solution is made by mixing of water and of acetic acid . Calculate the mole fraction of water in this solution. Be sure your a
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The answer is "0.35".

Explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

Mass of CH_3C0_2 H= 77 \ g \\\\

Molar mass of CH_3C0_2 H = 60.05 \  \frac{g}{mol} \\\\

No of moles in n_{CH_3CO_2H} = 77 \ g \times  \frac{1 \ mol \ CH_3C0_2H}{60.05 \ g}  

                                          = 1.28 \ mol \ CH_3CO_2H

Mass of water (H_2O)= 42 \ g

The molar mass of water (H_2O)= 18.02 \  \frac{g}{mol}

moles of water n_{H_2O}:

= 42 \ g \times \frac{1 mol H_2O}{18.02 \ g} \\\\= 2.33 \ mol \ H_2 O

Molfraction of acetic acid:

X CH_2CO_2H = \frac{n_{CH_3CO_2H}}{n_CH_3CO_2H +n_{H_2}}\\\\

                     =\frac{1.28 \ mol}{1.28 \ mo1 + 2.33 mol}\\\\ = 0.354\\\\= 0.35
