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

Chemistry

Atoms for negative or positive ions depending on whether they lose or gain electrons to achieve the stable octet.  If an atom loses electrons then it would have a positive charge (cation) and if the atom gains electrons then it would become negatively charged (anion).

This number tells you the number of each type of atom in a compound.
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

avogadro's constant

Explanation:

this is the fixed number of the atoms in the molecule of an element

avogadro's law states that equal volumes of gases<em> </em><em>at</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>temperature</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>pressure</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>contain</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em> </em>

<em>that</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>all</em><em> </em><em>gases</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>temperature</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>pressure</em><em> </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>always</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em> </em>

how many kilograms of water must evaporate from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution?
Lena [83]

Answer: The kilograms of water must evaporate from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution is 3 kg.

Explanation:

According to the ratio and proportion:

C_1m_1=C_2m_2

where,

C_1 = concentration of ist solution = 25%

m_1 = mass of ist solution = 8 kg

C_2 = concentration of second solution = 40%

m_2 = mass of second solution = ? kg

25\times 8=40\times m_2

m_2=5kg

Thus the final solution must have a mass of 5 kg , i.e (8-5)= 3 kg of mass must be evaporated.

Therefore, the mass that must be evaporated from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution is 3 kg.

If 3.00 mL of 0.0250 M CuSO4 is diluted to 25.0 mL with pure water, what is the molarity of copper(II) sulfate in the diluted so
g100num [7]

Answer:

0.00268 M

Explanation:

To find the new molarity, you need to (1) find the moles of CuSO₄ (via the molarity equation using the beginning molarity and volume) and then (2) find the new molarity (using the moles and combined volume). Your final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the given values.

<u>Step 1:</u>

3.00 mL / 1,000 = 0.00300 L

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

0.0250 M = moles / 0.00300 L

(0.0250 M) x (0.00300 L) = moles

7.50 x 10⁻⁵ = moles

<u>Step 2:</u>

25.0 mL / 1,000 = 0.0250 L

0.0250 L + 0.00300 L = 0.0280 L

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Molarity = (7.50 x 10⁻⁵ moles) / (0.0280 L)

Molarity = 0.00268 M
