Answer: Some metals have the ability to form differently charged ions. For example, iron can form 2 + or 3 + ions. If you simply gave the name iron chloride, you would not know which charge the iron ion possessed. A Roman numeral is to indicate the charge of the iron. Iron ( II ) means the iron has a 2 + charge Iron ( III ) means that the iron has a 3 + charge So, iron ( II ) oxide would have a chemical formula of FeO . (The oxide ion has a 2 â’ charge to balance the 2 + of the iron to form a neutral compound.) Iron ( III ) oxide would have a chemical formula of Fe 2 O 3 (Here you need to find the common multiple of 6, so two iron ions with a 3 + charge will balance the charge of three oxide ions with a 2 + charge.)

The overall charge of an atom is ________ if the number of electrons is ________ than the number of protons.

miss Akunina [59]

The overall charge of an atom is positive if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons are positively charged particles. If there are less electrons as compared to the number of protons in an atom, then naturally the overall charge of the atom would be positive since there are excess protons. Another case would be that the overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom having more electrons than the number of the protons present would lead to a negative value of the charge since there are excess electrons.

What is the volume in liters of 321 g of liquid with a density of 0.84 g/mL

Rasek [7]

Density is weight by volume.

First. If you divide the weight by density you can find the volume

Second you must convert the ML in to Liters.

$\frac{321 \frac{g}{1}}{0.84 \frac{g}{mL}} = \frac{321(g)(mL)}{0.84g}=\frac{321mL}{0.84}=382.14mL$

1L=1000ml

$\frac{1L}{1000mL}$

$(382.14mL)( \frac{1L}{1000mL})= \frac{(382.14mL)(L)}{1000mL} =\frac{382.14L}{1000}=0.38214L$

0.38214 Liters.

Fill in the blanks with appropriate options given in below:

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

1) -COOH

2) -NH2

3) hydrogen bonds

4) dispersion forces

5) -CH3

6) hydrogen bonds

7) negative

8) negative

9) positive

Explanation:

Alanine has a -COOH and a -NH2 group available to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

Although there are some potential dispersion forces between the terminal -CH3 group of alanine and hexane molecules, we expect the hydrogen bonds between alanine and water to be stronger.

Stronger intermolecular attractive forces between alanine and water lead to a more negative ΔHmix and more negative (smaller positive) ΔHsoln for water than for hexane.
