Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?

It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them. Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).

Conservation of mass was discussed in the background. describe how conservation of mass (actual, not theoretical) could be check
rosijanka [135]

Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:

1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.

2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.

3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.

If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step 3.

2Fe(OH)3 Fe2O3+3H2O how many grams of Fe2O3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe (OH)3 react in this way
sasho [114]

Answer: 7.98 grams of Fe_2O_3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe(OH)_3 are reacted.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

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

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of} Fe(OH)_3=\frac{10.7g}{106.87g/mol}=0.100mol  

The chemical equation for the reaction is

2Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of Fe(OH)_3 produce = 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 0.100 moles of Fe(OH)_3 produce= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.100=0.05mol of Fe_2O_3  

Mass of Fe_2O_3 =moles\times {\text{Molar Mass}}=0.05mol\times 159.69g/mol=7.98g  

Hence 7.98 grams of Fe_2O_3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe(OH)_3 are reacted.
