How does an atom become a positively charged ion

1 answer:

3 0

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

Explain the changes that take place at the molecular level when a substance is superheated or supercooled ?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Only gas or vapor can be superheated. Use water as an example. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees F. When heated to 212 degrees F, the molecules that make up water are moving at a high enough speed that they overcome the air pressure above the water. And for supercooled only liquids or solids can be supercooled for example Liquid water at sea level has a saturation (boiling) temperature of 212 degrees F. If we were to add heat to the saturated water, it would first boil away with no change in temperature (remember latent heat?) and then become superheated if still more heat were added to the vapor (steam) after it had all turned to a vapor.

The depletion of ozone (O3) in the stratosphere has been a matter of great concern among scientists in recent years. It is belie

Deffense [45]

Answer: Nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For ozone:

Given mass of ozone = 0.827 g

Molar mass of ozone = 48 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ozone}=\frac{0.827g}{48g/mol}=0.0172mol$

For nitric oxide:

Given mass of nitric oxide = 0.635 g

Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30.01 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of nitric oxide}=\frac{0.635g}{30.01g/mol}=0.0211mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone reacts with 1 mole of nitric oxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles$ of nitric oxide

As, given amount of nitric oxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, ozone is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Amount of excess reagent (nitric oxide) left = 0.0211 - 0.0172 = 0.0039 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone produces 1 mole of nitrogen dioxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles$ of nitrogen dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of nitrogen dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 0.0172 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0172mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}=0.7912g$

Hence, nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.
