In terms of electrons why does a cation have a positive charge

Chemistry
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]3 years ago
5 0
Because a CATION is a name for a POSITIVE ION and it is given that name if an atom loses an electron.

Also the roman numerals after a transition metals name tell u its charge E. G. Iron(II) will have the charge Fe2+

A mixture of gases contains 4.46 moles of neon (Ne), 0.74 mole of argon (Ar), and 2.15 moles of xenon (Xe). Calculate the partia
viva [34]

Explanation:

The partial pressure of an individual gas is equal to the total pressure of the mixture multiplied by the mole fraction of the gas.

Total pressure = 2atm

Mole Fraction = number of moles / total number of moles

Neon

Mole Fraction = 4.46 / 7.35 = 0.607

Partial Pressure = 0.607 * 2 = 1.214 atm

Argon

Mole Fraction = 0.74 / 7.35 = 0.101

Partial Pressure = 0.101 * 2 = 0.202 atm

Xenon

Mole Fraction = 2.15 / 7.35 = 0.293

Partial Pressure = 0.293 * 2 = 0.586 atm

What is the difference between concentrated acid and a weak one?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Difference between concentrated acid and weak acid :---

  • According to Arrhenius's theory the substances which easily get dissociated into H+ ions when dissolved in water are acids.

  • And the substance which readily gives H+ ions on dissociation (when dissolved in water) are Strong Acid. Examples are HCl , H2SO4 etc.

While,

  • Concentration of acid is just the value of pH. pH is the measurement of concentration of acid or base. The lower the pH, higher the concentration.

  • So strong acid is strong because it gives H+ ions readily in water and Concentration is the value of pH.

Water is wet. true or false? Why?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

True water is wet because when something is wet in this case it's water it has water on it at a molecular level. Water molecules are bonded on top of each other so it's wet.
