<u>Answer:</u> The charge on the cation is +4

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of SnCl_4

It is formed by the combination of tin ions and chloride ions.

Tin is the 50th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^2

This element will loose 4 electrons to form Sn^{4+} ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^5

This element will gain 1 electron to form Cl^{-} ion

Thus, the charge on the cation is +4

Which of the following processes absorbs energy? A) condensation of water on a wind shield of a car B) formation of copperC) bal
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C) ball rollinflown a hill

Explanation:

The question asks to  identify the endothermic process in the list of options. By way of elimination, we have;

A) condensation of water on a wind shield of a car

Condensation is an exothermic process. That is, heat is given out as the gases change into the liquid state of matter.

B) formation of copper

This is an exothermic process. Capture of electrons by a cation is always exothermic.

C) ball rollinflown a hill

This is the correct option. Energy is absorbed by the ball as it moves on the hill

D) formation of ice from liquid water

Freezing is an example of exothermic reaction. Heat is given off to the surroundings.

E) oxide from copper and oxygen

Formation of metal oxides and most reactions involving oxygen are exothermic reactions,

When 12 moles of methanol (ch3oh) and 24 moles of oxygen gas react according to the chemical equation below, what is the limitin
Nataliya [291]
The balanced reaction equation for the reaction between CH₃OH and O₂ is 
                        2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Initial moles        12                24
Reacted moles   12                18
Final moles          -                   6              12               24
 
The stoichiometric ratio between CH₃OH and O₂ is 2 : 3
Hence,
   reacted moles of O₂ = reacted moles of CH₃OH x (3/2)
                                      = 12 mol x 3 / 2  
                                      = 18 mol

All of CH₃OH moles react with O₂.

Hence, the limiting agent is CH₃OH. 

Excess reagent is O₂.
Amount of moles of excess reagent left = 24 - 18 mol = 6 mol

The experimental group is the group that is left alone during the experiment
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

  • A common method of experimentation that is used to collect data on hypotheses of end up causing-effect is a contrast between two groups.
  • One community, the experimental group, is receiving medication for having any result. Some other group becomes left exposed, the control group, whether creating a different treatment.
