Answer:

Metals lose electrons to become cations.

Explanation:

For example, sodium loses an electron to become a sodium cation.

Na· ⟶ Na⁺ + e⁻

A is wrong. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.

B is wrong. Metals lose electrons.

D is wrong. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.

A voltaic cell is constructed from an Ni2+(aq)−Ni(s)Ni2+(aq)−Ni(s) half-cell and an Ag+(aq)−Ag(s)Ag+(aq)−Ag(s) half-cell. The in

Answer:

+1.03 V

Explanation:

The standard emf of the voltaic cell is the value of the standard potential of it, which is calculated by the standard reduction potential (E°).

The standard reduction potential is the potential needed for the reduction reaction happen, and it's determined by the reaction with the hydrogen cell (which has E° = 0.0V). The half-reactions of reduction of Ni⁺² and Ag⁺, are:

Ni⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V

The value is calculated by a spontaneous reaction, in which the cell with the greater E° is reduced (gain electrons), and the other is oxidized (loses electrons). So, Ag⁺ reduces.

emf = E°reduces - E°oxides

emf = 0.80 - (-0.23)

emf = +1.03 V

What are Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals called

Margaret [11]

Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because of their high ionization potential and high melting point.

On moving from left to right of the periodic table for every period, electrons fill in the same shell or orbital, with the alkali metals having the least filled outermost shells, one electron, which equates to fewer protons in them.

Consequently, they have a lesser attraction power from the nucleus, whereas, the corresponding transition metals of the same period have more protons interacting with electrons at the same distance, far from the nucleus as the alkali metals.

A meteorologist balloon contains 250.0 L of He at 22.0 C and 740.0 mmHg. If the volume of the balloon can vary according to exte

NeX [460]

Answer: Option A) 240 L

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Volume of helium (V1) = 250.0L

Initial Temperature of helium (T1) = 22.0°C

[Convert temperature in celsius to Kelvin by adding 273

(22.0°C + 273 = 295K)]

Initial Pressure of helium (P1) = 740 mmHg

[convert pressure in mmHg to atmosphere

If 760 mmHg = 1 atm

740 mmHg = 740/760 = 0.97 atm]

Final Volume of helium (V2) = ?

Final temperature T2 = -52.0°C

[Convert -52°C to Kelvin by adding 273

-52°C + 273 = 221K]

Final pressure of helium = 0.750 atm

Since pressure, volume and temperature are given, apply the combined gas equation

(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2

(0.97 x 250.0)/295= (0.750 x V2)/221

242.5/295 = 0.750V2/221

Cross multiply

242.5 x 221 = 0.75V2 x 295

53592.5 = 221.25V2

V2 = 53592.5 / 221.25

V2 = 242.2 L (Rounded to the nearest tens, V2 becomes 240 L)

Thus, the new volume of helium at the altitude is 240 liters
