Answer:

A) Cations

Explanation:

a) Cations have a positive charge and are larger than their neutral counterparts!

b) Anions have a negative charge and are smaller than their neutral counterparts

c) Metals can have either a positive or negative charge making it either a cation or an anion

d) Carbon is an element and it can have a charge anywhere from +4 to -4

A good way to remember that cations are positive is to think that CATions are always PAWSitive! ^-^

Problem PageQuestion Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume

IgorC [24]

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $273K=$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles$

$CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4$

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = $\frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352$ moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride = $moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L$

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

denpristay [2]

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity is how much is required to heat the unit of mass by one degree. Therefore, if you have a higher heat capacity it required more energy, therefore, it takes longer to heat up. whereas having a lower heat capacity it takes less time to best up as it requires less energy.
