Answer:
b) Gain or lose electrons
Explanation:
An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.
The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.
A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations
A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.
The average speed of the blocks are 0.36 m/s.
Explanation:
Average speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered per unit time. So if it is said that blocks are pulled to 0.9 m in the right side. This means the blocks cover a distance of 0.9 m from the origin and that distance is covered in 2.5 s. Thus, the average speed can be calculated from the change in speed with respect to time. As at time t = 0 , the speed is also zero, and at time t = 2.5 s , the speed will be
Since, in this case, the speed is equal to the average speed of blocks. So the average speed of the blocks will be 0.36 m/s.
We are going to use this formula:
E° = 0.0592/ n * ㏒K
when E° is the standard state cell potential
and n is number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced equation
for the reaction of the cell.
Sr(s) + Mg2+ (aq) ↔ Sr2+(aq) + Mg(s)
we can get it by using the given balanced equation, we here have 2 electrons
transferred so, n = 2
and K the equilibrium constant = 3.69 x 10^17
so, by substitution:
∴ E° = 0.0592 / 2 * ㏒ (3.69 x 10^17)
= 0.52 V
