Answer:

Option C. hydroxide ions (OH-).

Explanation:

A base is a substance which dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH-) as the only negative ion. It therefore means that a base contains more hydroxide ions (OH-).

Nutka1998 [239]

The statement that the friend made is not true. most of the mass of the plant is from carbon. the carbon comes from carbon dioxide which is used during photosynthesis. the left over carbon from photosynthesis is used to to help the plant gain mass. there is a process for this which is called cellular respiration

One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HCO

zhenek [66]

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

The balanced equation for the decomposition is,
2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

The stoichiometric ratio between Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) and Na₂CO₃(s) is 2 : 3

The decomposed mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 1000 kg
= 1000 x 10³ g

Molar mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 226 g mol⁻¹
moles of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = mass / molar mass
= 1000 x 10³ g / 226 g mol⁻¹
= 4424.78 mol

Hence, moles of Na₂CO₃ formed = 4424.78 mol x $\frac{3}{2}$
= 6637.17 mol

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g mol⁻¹

Hence, mass of Na₂CO₃ = 6637.17 mol x 106 g mol⁻¹
= 703540.02 g
= 703.540 kg

Hence, the theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ = 703.540 kg
Actual yield of Na₂CO₃ = 650 kg

Percentage yield = (650 kg / 703.540 kg) x 100%
= 92.34%

What is the net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is zero (0).

Explanation:

Ionic compounds, such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.

Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.

The charges in the ionic compound calcium flouride are distributed in this way:

Compound formula: CaF₂

Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge

Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.

Then, the net charge is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.

So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a zero net charge.
