Do metals form are anions or cations?

Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

Acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.76. What is the concentration of acetate in a buffer solution of 0.2M at pH 4.9. Give

Ghella [55]

Answer:

$[base]=0.28M$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation one can compute the concentration of acetate, which acts as the base, as shown below:

$pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{pH-pKa}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{4.9-4.76}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=1.38\\\\$

$[base]=1.38[acid]=1.38*0.20M=0.28M$

Regards.

Answer: The rate constant for the reaction is $3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}$

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample = 559 min

a = let initial amount of the reactant = $2.83\times 10^{-3}$

a - x = amount left after decay process = $3.06\times 10^{-4}$

$559min=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{2.83\times 10^{-3}}{3.06\times 10^{-4}}$

$k=\frac{2.303}{559}\log\frac{2.83\times 10^{-3}}{3.06\times 10^{-4}}$

$k=3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}$

The rate constant for the reaction is $3.96\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}$

Chem !! 15 pts + brainliest

evablogger [386]

Answer:

V = 80.65L

Explanation:

Volume = ?

Number of moles n = 5 mol

Temperature (T) = 393.15K

Pressure = 1520mmHg

Ideal gas constant (R) = 62.363mmHg.L/mol.K

According to ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the ideal gas

V = volume the gas occupies

n = number of moles of the gas

R = ideal gas constant (note this can varies depending on the unit of your variables)

T = temperature of the ideal gas

PV = nRT

Solve for V,

V = nRT / P

V = (5 * 62.363 * 393.15) / 1520

V = 80.65L

The volume the gas occupies is 80.65L
