Why do atoms gain or lose electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]4 years ago

Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

Explain the correlation between chemical properties and chemical changes. (plz i not sure on the answer so it would mean a lot i
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change.

A chemical reaction is a process that occurs when one or more substances are changed into one or more new substances.

Differences

Chemical properties are properties that can be observed or measured when a substance undergoes a chemical change.

Physical properties are properties that can be observed without bringing a chemical change.

Another one

chemical properties; can be used to predict how substances react.

chemical changes; It is mostly used in identifying or describing the substance.

Part A Name the complex ion [Fe(CN)6]^3- . The oxidation number of iron is +3. Part B Name the complex ion [Cu(NH3)2(H2O)4]^2+ .
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Part A: Hexacyanoferrate (III)

Part B: DiammintetraaquoCupperate (II)

Part C: Dichlorobis(ethylenediamine) Chromate (II)

Part D: Triaquocarbonylnickel (II) Sulphate

Part E: Potassium Dicarbonatedifluoroplatinate (II)

Explanation:

For naming the complex ions there is a specific rule

Nomenclature of the complex ions are as follow

  • write a correct formulae
  • Indicate the oxidation number of metal in the complex
  • The oxidation number should write in the roman numeral in perenthasis after metal name
  • Ligand named before the metal ion
  • Ligan can be named in following order

                  * 1st negative,  2nd neutral, 3rd positive

                  * If there are more than 2 same charged ligand the write in                      

                    alphabetical order.

  • Write prefix i.e di, tri, tetra for multiple monodentate ligands
  • Anions name end at ido the replace the final name.
  • Neutral ligands named as their usual name, but there are some exceptions such as

                                      NH3 named as ammine

                                      H2O names aqua or aquo

                                     CO named ascarbonyl

                                      NO named as nitrosyl

  • If the complex is an anion, then name of the central atom will end in -ate, and its Latin name will be used except for mercury
  • The name of full complex will end with cation or anion with separate word.  

Keeping the rules in mind the complexes named as following.

_________________________

Part A:

[Fe(CN)₆]³⁻

Name of the Complex : Hexacyanoferrate (III)  

___________________

Part B:

[Cu(NH₃)₂(H₂O)₄]²⁺

_______________________

Part C

CrCl₂(en)₂

Name of the Complex :  Dichlorobis(ethylenediamine) Chromate (II)

________________________

Part C

[Ni(H₂O)₃(CO)]SO₄

Name of the Complex : Tetraaquocarbonylnickel (II) Sulphate

______________________

Part E

calculate the ph of a 0.020 m carbonic acid solution, h2co3(aq), that has the stepwise dissociation constants ka1
fgiga [73]

The calculated pH is 3.79. therefore, the solution is acidic.

No, carbonic acid is not a strong acid. H2CO3 is a weak acid that dissociates into a proton (H+ cation) and a bicarbonate ion (HCO3- anion). This compound only partly dissociates in aqueous solutions.

H2 CO3    =    H (+) + HCO3(-)          Ka1 = 4.3 * 10^ -7

   0.06 - x              x          x

Ka1 = x^2 / (0.06 - x) = 4.3 * 10^ - 7

A low Ka => x << 0.06 => 0.06 -x ≈ 0.06

=> Ka1 ≈ x^2 / 0.06 => x^2 ≈ 0.06 * Ka1 = 0.06 * 4.3 * 10^-7

=> x ≈ √ [ 2.58 * 10 ^ -8] = 1.606 * 10^ - 4 = 0.0001606

Second dissociation

HCO3(-)    =   H (+) + CO3(2-)         Ka2 = 5.6 * 10^ - 11

0.0001606 - y            y             y

Ka2 ≈ y^2 / 0.0001606 => y = √ [0.0001606 * 5.6* 10^ -11]

y = 9.48 * 10^ -8

An acidic solution has a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H +start superscript, plus, end superscript), greater than that of pure water.

[H+] = x + y = 1.607 * 10^ -4

pH = - log [H+] = 3.79

The mass of a substance is 27.46 g and its volume is 3.42 mL. What is the density of the substance? (hint: density = mass ÷ volu
marin [14]

Answer:

<h2>8.03 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

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

From the question we have

density =  \frac{27.46}{3.42}  \\  = 8.029239

We have the final answer

<h3>8.03 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
