Do metals form are anions or cations?

Chemistry
1 answer:

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.

Using the balanced equation below, how many moles of water can be produced when 4 grams of Hydrogen react? 2H2(g)+O2(g) —&gt; 2H
gavmur [86]

Answer:

4 × 10 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 H₂O(I)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 4 g of H₂

The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.

4 g × 1 mol/2.02 g = 2 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂O produced from 2 moles of H₂

The molar ratio of H₂ to H₂O is 2:2. The moles of H₂O produced are 2/2 × 2 mol = 2 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 2 moles of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

2 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 4 × 10 g
