An atom of lithium loses an electron. What is the effect of this event? Group of answer choices
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

option C= The atom of lithium becomes positively charged ion

Explanation:

When metals loses the electrons positive ions are formed. The nonmetals accept these electrons and form negative ions. These positive and negative ions attract each other through electrostatic force and form the bond called ionic bond.

Ionic bond:

Ionic bond is formed when oppositely charged ions attract each others i.e negative and positive ions.

We know that a neutral atom consist of equal number of proton and electron, cancel the charge of each other that is equal in magnitude and make the atom neutral or we can say that net charge is zero.

But when the atom lose or gain the electron, imbalance of neutron electron occur so charge will not remain zero and atom is no more to be said neutral.

Example:

Take the example of sodium that can lose one electron and form Na+. This Na+ ion is called cation because it carry positive charge by losing the one electron. This cation now contain eleven proton and ten electron.

Now consider the example of Chlorine atom. It consist of 17 proton and 17 electron. But in order to attain the noble gas configuration or to complete the octet it gain one electron and form anion (Cl-). The chlorine anion consist of 17 proton and 18 electron.

Now consider the compound formed by sodium and chlorine ions. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. It is formed by the complete transfer of electron from sodium to chlorine atom and form ionic bond. In this ionic compound sodium carry positive charge and chlorine carry negative charge there is attraction between these oppositely charged atoms.

Na+ (cation)

Cl- (anion)

NaCl

When a solution of 6m hcl is made from a stock of concentrated hcl by adding an equal volume of water, why is the concentration
nikklg [1K]

Answer:-

HCl is a volatile acid. It easily evaporates at room temperature. So the concentrated HCl which is supposed to be 12 M is no longer 12 M since some of the HCl has already escaped as vapor.

Hence when a solution of 6M HCl is made from a stock of concentrated HCl by adding an equal volume of water, the concentration of the solution is only an approximate concentration since the concentration of the stock concentrated solution is also approximate.

Why is blood is sometimes called "the river of life"?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Blood is liquid and red, just like a red river. And for humans without blood there is no life because there is nothing to transport nutrients and oxygen to the body cells. Hence blood is the red river of life.

What is the quantity of heat (in kJ) associated with cooling 185.5 g of water from 25.60°C to ice at -10.70°C?Heat Capacity of S
Cerrena [4.2K]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, sensible heat and latent heat,  the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

<h3>Sensible heat</h3>

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

<h3>Latent heat</h3>

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

  • <u><em>25.60 °C to 0 °C</em></u>

First of all, you should know that the freezing point of water is 0°C. That is, at 0°C, water freezes and turns into ice.

So, you must lower the temperature from 25.60°C (in liquid state) to 0°C, in order to supply heat without changing state (sensible heat).

The amount of heat a body receives or transmits is determined by:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

  • c= Heat Capacity of Liquid= 4.184 \frac{J}{gC}
  • m= 185.5 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 0 °C - 25.60 °C= - 25.6 °C

Replacing:

Q1= 4.184 \frac{J}{gC}× 185.5 g× (- 25.6 °C)

Solving:

<u><em>Q1= -19,868.98 J</em></u>

  • <u><em>Change of state</em></u>

The heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q = m×L

where L is called the latent heat of the substance and depends on the type of phase change.

In this case, you know:

n= 185.5 grams× \frac{1mol}{18 grams}= 10.30 moles, where 18 \frac{g}{mol} is the molar mass of water, that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

ΔHfus= 6.01 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Replacing:

Q2= 10.30 moles×6.01 \frac{kJ}{mol}

Solving:

<u><em>Q2=61.903 kJ= 61,903 J</em></u>

  • <u><em>0 °C to -10.70 °C</em></u>

Similar to sensible heat previously calculated, you know:

  • c = Heat Capacity of Solid = 2.092 \frac{J}{gC}
  • m= 185.5 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= -10.70 °C - 0 °C= -10.70 °C

Replacing:

Q3= 2.092 \frac{J}{gC} × 185.5 g× (-10.70) °C

Solving:

<u><em>Q3= -4,152.3062 J</em></u>

<h3>Total heat required</h3>

The total heat required is calculated as:  

Total heat required= Q1 + Q2 +Q3

Total heat required=-19,868.98 J + 61,903 J -4,152.3062 J

<u><em>Total heat required= 37,881.7138 J= 37.8817138 kJ= 37.88 kJ</em></u>

In summary, the amount of heat required is 37.88 kJ.
