Li + e- ===> Li+
it looses its valence electron to form a uni-positive ion
Mariulka [41]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> The equation for this is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^22s^1

This element will loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electron to form a positive ion.

The chemical equation for the formation of lithium ion from lithium atom follows:

Li\rightarrow Li^++e^-

Hence, lithium ion will form lithium cation by loosing 1 electron as shown in above equation.

If you were to remove an electron from a sodium atom that has eleven protons, what would be the electrical charge of the ion?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

positive one (+1)

Explanation:

sodium having atomic mass is twenty three (23) and atomic number is eleven (11).

Sodium atom having only one electron in it's outer most shell and it is easy for atom to lose this electron from outer most shell to make itself stable.

So after losing this electron positive charge on the upper right side of the atom will occur with the number of electron lose that is Na+1 .

How many grams are in 5.2 moles of Li2SO4
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

572 g

Explanation:

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of an element or compound

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ is the sum of the products of the molar masses of the elements by the number of atoms in the compound

molar masses of each element making up lithium sulphate

Li - 7 g/mol

S - 32 g/mol

O - 16 g/mol

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ - (7 g/mol x 2) + ( 32 g/mol x 1) + ( 16 g/mol x 4 )

molar mass = 110 g/mol

mass of 1 mol of Li₂SO₄ is 110 g

therefore mass of 5.2 mol of Li₂SO₄ is - 110 g/mol x 5.2 mol = 572 g

mass is 572 g

A beaker containing 6.32 moles of PBr3, contains___
NISA [10]

Answer:

3.8 x 10²⁴molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles  = 6.32moles

Unknown:

Number of molecules  = ?

Solution:

The number of moles can be used to derive the number of molecules found within a substance.

Now,

       1 mole of substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

     6.32 mole of PBr₃ will contain 6.32 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 3.8 x 10²⁴molecules

What is a way in which nuclear fusion is used?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:It is a nuclear process, where energy is produced by smashing together light atoms. It is the opposite reaction of fission, where heavy isotopes are split apart.

Explanation Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat.

It’s most easily achieved on Earth by combining two isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements, being made up of a single proton and a electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus; it can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H20 to make what is called “heavy water.”

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of nitrous acid with a solution of . The of nitrous acid is . Calculate the pH
Burka [1]

Answer:

pH = 2.69

Explanation:

The complete question is:<em> An analytical chemist is titrating 182.2 mL of a 1.200 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a solution of 0.8400 M KOH. The pKa of nitrous acid is 3.35. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 46.44 mL of the KOH solution to it.</em>

<em />

The reaction of HNO₂ with KOH is:

HNO₂ + KOH → NO₂⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

Moles of HNO₂ and KOH that react are:

HNO₂ = 0.1822L × (1.200mol / L) = <em>0.21864 moles HNO₂</em>

KOH = 0.04644L × (0.8400mol / L) = <em>0.0390 moles KOH</em>

That means after the reaction, moles of HNO₂ and NO₂⁻ after the reaction are:

NO₂⁻ = 0.03900 moles KOH = moles NO₂⁻

HNO₂ = 0.21864 moles HNO₂ - 0.03900 moles = 0.17964 moles HNO₂

It is possible to find the pH of this buffer (<em>Mixture of a weak acid, HNO₂ with the conjugate base, NO₂⁻), </em>using H-H equation for this system:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

pH = 3.35 + log₁₀ [0.03900mol] / [0.17964mol]

<h3>pH = 2.69</h3>
