Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom that gain electrons will acquire a negative charge resulting in the formation of an anion. An atom that loses electrons will acquire a positive charge resulting in the formation of a cation.

Sodium is a metal and its atomic number is 11 with electronic distribution 2, 8, 1. Whereas chlorine is a non-metal whose atomic number is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

Hence, in order to become stable sodium will lose one electron and it will acquire a positive charge. On the other hand, chlorine will gain one electron and thus, acquire a negative charge.

Hence, we can conclude that chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium.

The answer is number 4 (Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium). This occurs because Sodium (Na) is a group 1 element, it does not have a high electronegativity. However, Chlorine, a halogen, has a high electronegativity, taking the electron from Sodium, forming an Ionic Bond.

Diamonds are measured in carats, and 1 carat=0.200 g. The density of diamond is 3.51 g/cm^3. What is the volume of a 5.0 - carat

Blizzard [7]

Answer:- Volume of the 5.0 carat diamond is $0.28cm^3$ .

Solution:- It is a unit conversion problem. Need to convert carat to grams and then using grams and density the volume could easily be calculated.

We have 5.0 carat diamond and asked to calculate it's volume. Density of diamond is given as $3.51\frac{g}{cm^3}$ and 1 carat = 0.200 g. Let's do this step by step:

First step is the conversion of carat to grams:

$5.0carat(\frac{0.200g}{1carat})$ = 1.0 g

In second step, grams are converted to volume using the given density as:

$volume=\frac{mass}{density}$

$volume=1.0g(\frac{1cm^3}{3.51g})$

$volume=0.28cm^3$

So, the volume of the 5.0 carat diamond is $0.28cm^3$ .

A 20.9 ml sample of 0.267 m koh solution required 29.1 ml of aqueous acetic acid solution in a titration experiment. calculate t

andrey2020 [161]

The molarity of the acetic acid solution is calculated as below

calculate the moles of KOH used
moles =molarity x volume
= 20.9 x0.267 = 5.58 moles

write the reaction equation

KOH + CH3COOH = CH3COOK + H2O

since the reacting ratio between KOH to CH3COOH is 1:1 the moles of CH3COOH is also = 5.58 moles

molarity of CH3COOH = moles/volume

=5.58 /29.1 =0.192 M

A person suffering from hyponatremia has which of the following?

Katen [24]

d. Too little sodium in the bloodstream.

Explanation:

A person suffering from hyponatremia can be said to have too little sodium in their bloodstream. The word hyponatremia stems from two latin words:

hypo - low

natrium - sodium

A person suffering from this condition will lack thinking capabilities.
Na, K and Mg are electrolytes in the body that helps to transmit electrical impulses.
A person might feel nauseated, lack balance if they suffer from this illness.
Hyponatremia can be caused by too much fluid in the body which can readily dissolve the available sodium.
