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

Chemistry

Scrat [10]3 years ago

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).

How much heat is evolved in converting 1.00 mol of steam at 155.0 ∘c to ice at -50.0 ∘c? the heat capacity of steam is 2.01 j/(g
Ne4ueva [31]
When the specific heat capacity of the water is 4.18 J/g.°C so, we are going to use this formula to get the heat for cooling three  phases changes from steam to liquid and from liquid to ice (solid) :

when Q = M*C*ΔT 

Q is the heat in J

and M is the mass in gram = 1 mol H2O * 18 g/mol(molar mass) = 18 g

C is the specific heat J/g.°C

ΔT is the change in temperature

Q = Mw *[ ( Csteam * ΔTsteam)+(Cw*ΔTw) + (Cice  * ΔT ice)]

    = 18 g * [(2.01 * (155-100°C)) + (4.18 * (100-0°C)) + (2.09 * (0 - 55 °C))]

∴Q = 7444.8 J

and when we know that the heat of fusion for water = 334J/g

and heat of vaporization for water =  2260J/g


∴Q for the two phases changes = M * (2260+334) 

                                                      = 18 * (2260+334)

                                                      = 46692 J 

∴ Q total = 7444.8 + 46692 = 54136.8 J

6.285×10^3 mg = _____? _____ kg
TiliK225 [7]
One kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. Further, one gram is equal to 1000 mg. The conversion is as shown below,
                    (6.285 x 10³ mg) x (1 g / 1000 mg) x (1 kg / 1000 g)
The numerical value of the operation above is 0.006285 kg.
