Its total charge is zero but for the elements:
Sn===> Sn4+ positive
Cl===> Cl- negative
Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago

<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

How should the enthalpy of an intermediate step be manipulated when used to produce an overall chemical equation?
White raven [17]
The enthalpy of an intermediate step should be manipulated when used to produce an overall equation by using the Hess's law. You could multiply the enthalpy by -1 if this equation is reversed in theory.

3. Hydrogen reacts with nitrogen to produce ammonia according to the equation:
lys-0071 [83]

Mass of ammonia produced : 121.38 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

3H₂(g) + N₂(g) ⇒ 2NH₃(g)

100g of N₂

Required

Ammonia produced

Solution

mol of N₂ :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{100}{28}\\\\mol=3.57

From the equation, mol ratio of N₂ and NH₃ = 1 : 2, so mol NH₃ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 3.57=7.14~moles

mass of NH₃(MW=17 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=7.14\times 17\\\\mass=121.38~g

What are some signs of cyanide poisoning visible on a corpse?
lina2011 [118]
Hello!
I saw this question and instantly knew I could help. I recently took a course on toxic gasses and poisons. Here's what I know.

It can be swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. It is generally released from its host compound by acids, such as the hydrochloric acid found in the stomach. The poison in the seeds is released only if the seeds are chewed.

Effects and symptoms:
Cyanide prevents the red blood cells from absorbing oxygen. It's called chemical asphyxia.
Smelling of a toxic dose of the gas can cause immediate unconsciousness, convulsions and death within one to fifteen minutes.
If swallowed a fatal dose can take up to twenty minutes or longer, esp. if swallowed on a full stomach.
If a near-lethal dose is absorbed through the skin, inhaled or swallowed the symptoms will include gasping for breath, dizziness, flushing, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid pulse, and a drop in blood pressure causing fainting.
<span>With a lethal dose, convulsions with in four hours, except in the case of sodium nitroprusside, when death can be delayed as long as 12 hours after ingestion. </span>The victims blood may appear purple or cherry red, as in carbon monoxide poisoning, and the corpse may have pinker than normal skin.
<span>the famous bitter almond odor can be a clue and maybe noticeable at autopsy, but not everyone is capable of smelling it.

Hope this helped! :)</span>

An excess of mg(s) is added to 100.ml of 0.400 m hcl. at 0c and 1 atm pressure, what volume of h 2 (g) can be obtained?
ra1l [238]
The balanced equation for the reaction between Mg and HCl is as follows
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to H₂ is 2:1

number of HCl moles reacted - 0.400 mol/L x 0.100 L = 0.04 mol of HCl
since Mg is in excess HCl is the limiting reactant 
number of H₂ moles formed - 0.04/2 = 0.02 mol of H₂

we can use ideal gas law equation to find the volume of H₂
PV = nRT 
where 
P - pressure - 1 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 101 325 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.02 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K
substituting these values in the equation 

101 325 Pa x V = 0.02 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K
V = 448 x 10⁻⁶ m³
V = 448 mL 
therefore answer is 
c. 448 mL
