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

1 answer:

8 0

<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 is the density (g/mL) of an object that has a mass of 0.03 kg and occupies a volume of 25 mL?

tatyana61 [14]

First convert the kg to g ----- 0.03kg = 30g
Then divide the mass by the volume ----- 30g ÷ 25mL = 1.2
The density is 1.2g/mL<span />

How many liters of a 0.0550 M NaF solution contain 0.163 moles of NaF?

Kobotan [32]

Answer : The volume of solution will be 2.96 liters.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

In this question, the solute is NaF.

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$0.0550M=\frac{0.163mole}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

$\text{Volume of solution (in L)}=\frac{0.163mole}{0.0550M}$

$\text{Volume of solution (in L)}=2.96L$

Therefore, the volume of solution will be 2.96 liters.
