What is the difference between an anion and a cation

Chemistry

Svetlanka [38]2 years ago

Cations and anions are both ions. The difference between a cation and an anion is the net electrical charge of the ion. Ions are atoms or molecules which have gained or lost one or more valencee electron giving the ion a net positive or negative charge. Cations are ions with a net positive charge.

identify each material as a compound or a mixture. Caffeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed rat
vitfil [10]
Answer: caffeine is a compound.

Explanation:

1) As stated c<span>affeine contains hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio.

2) The definition of compound is a pure substance formed by chemical bonding of two or more fifferent elements. That means a defined ratio of the elements in the compound, which conferes uniform and equal properties to every part of the compound.

Some examples of compounds are salt (NaCl), water (H2O), vinegard (CH3 COOH).

A mixture combines several elements or compounds, not bonded by chemical bonds but mixed in ratios which may vary.

LenKa [72]

Answer: -

Organic compounds consisting of only carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms are known as hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbons are used by us for mainly as a source of energy. Hydrocarbons make up gasoline which is used as fuel in automobiles.

Hydrocarbons depending on the type of unsaturation can be of three types - alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.

D( )-Camphor is treated with 5-methoxytryptamine in the presence of sodium cyanoborohydride to generate a new molecule, as a sin
Svetach [21]

The reducing agent can approach the carbonyl face of camphor by forming a one carbon bridge (known as an exo attack) or a two carbon bridge (termed endo).

The two resultant stereoisomers are known as isoborneol and borneol (from exo attack) (from endo attack). Gas chromatography (GC) analysis may be used to calculate the ratio of each isomeric alcohol in the mixture. Unfortunately, IR analysis does not permit this.

The stereochemistry of the reaction is regulated in stiff cyclic compounds like camphor and norcamphor by protecting one side of the carbonyl group from the reagent's assault. The hydrogen atom is added to the endo side, creating the exo alcohol isoborneol, while the methyl groups on the one-carbon bridge of camphor screen the approach of the hydride from the "top" or exo side of the two-carbon bridge. You will be asked to guess the main isomeric alcohol created by the norcamphor hydride reduction later in the lab report.

Calculate the vapor pressure (in torr) of a 35°C solution of ethanol and propanol where the mole fraction of propanol is .75. As
ASHA 777 [7]

The vapor pressure (in torr) of a 35°C solution : 52 torr

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

x propanol = 0.75

P°ethanol=100 torr

P°propanol=36 torr

Required

the vapor pressure

Solution

Raoult's Law

P solution = xA.P°A +xB.P°B

x ethanol = 1- 0.75 = 0.25

Input the value :

P solution = 0.25 x 100 + 0.75 x 36

P solution = 25 + 27

P solution = 52 torr
