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+

What is the ph of a 0.20 M solution of NH4Cl? [Kb(NH3) = 1.8 x 10^-5]
Pavlova-9 [17]

"NH4+ <----> NH3 + H+  

The constant of this equilibrium is: K = Kw / Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 1.8 x 10^-5 =5.56 x 10^-10  

5.56 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x  

x = [H+] =1.1 x 10^-5 M  

pH = 5.0"

9- Which pair of formulae represents two alkanes? (1 mark)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

A) CH4 and C8H18

Explanation:

  • General Formula for an Alkane = CnH2n+2

  • This means for every number of Carbon (C) atoms, there are twice as many Hydrogen (H) atoms with an additional two added onto that.

  • Therefore, if there is one Carbon Atom, and we multiply that by two, and then add an additional two, we get 4 Hydrogen atoms, so CH4, which is our first Formulae

  • Secondly, if we have eight Carbon Atoms, and we multiple that by two (16), and then add an additional two, we get 18 Hydrogen atoms, so C8H18, which is our second Formulae

  • The other Formulas do not follow this 'General Formula'
