Cations are formed by losing electrons in the valence shell of atoms. There are more protons than electron ions making the atom more positive.

An anion has <em><u>gained electrons</u></em> and therefore has more electrons than protons. It has a negative charge.


An example if this doesn't make too much sense.

Charged Atoms: If electrons are removed from an atom, that atom becomes positively charged because it has more positive charge carriers (protons) than negative charge carriers (electrons)

These types of charged atoms are called positive ions or, cations. DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, the removed electrons can remain free or they may attach themselves to another atom that can accept extra electrons. If this occurs, a negatively charged ion, or anion, is created.


I hope I made this clear enough for anyone who needed help on this. Hope this helps!!! Have a great day :)))

1. If you have 8.1 g CO₂ and 2.3 g H₂, which one is the limiting reactant. Show your work. 2. Calculate the theoretical yield of
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

2.95 g of CH₄

Explanation:

To start this, we determine the equation:

4H₂  + CO₂ →  CH₄  +  2H₂O

4 moles of hydrogen react to 1 mol of carbon dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of methane and 2 moles of water.

To determine the limiting reactant, we need to know the moles of each reactant.

8.1 g . 1 mol/ 44g = 0.184 moles of carbon dioxide

2.3 g . 1mol / 2g = 1.15 moles of hydrogen

4 moles of hydrogen react to 1 mol of CO₂

Then, 1.15 moles may react to (1.15 . 1) /4 = 0.2875 moles

We only have 0.184 moles of CO₂, so this is the limiting reactant. Not enough CO₂ to complete the 0.2875 moles that are needed.

Ratio is 1:1. 1 mol of CO₂ produces 1 mol of methane

Then, 0.184 moles of CO₂ will produce 0.184 moles of CH₄

We convert moles to mass: 0.184 mol . 16 g /mol = 2.95 g

What is arranged to form a material with a crystal structure
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography.

Give the balanced chemical reaction for the preparation of black oxide from blue vitriol​
sasho [114]

Answer:

Blue vitriol is crystal copper sulphate

Explanation:

The black oxide is the higher oxide of Copper i.e Cu. It is also called as tenorite. It is solid black in color. It is formed by heating copper with air.

$2Cu +O_2 \rightarrow 2CuO$

Blue vitriol is the crystalline form of copper sulphate. It is also known as copper (II) sulphate.

When heating, the blue vitriol undergoes various steps of changes to the black oxide of copper.

The chemical reaction is --

$CuSO_4 \cdot5H_2O \rightarrow CuSO_4\cdot 3H_2O {\rightarrow} CuSO_4\cdot H_2O \rightarrow CuSO_3 \rightarrow CuO +SO_2+O_2
