Answer:

By gaining elections

Explanation:

Cations are formed when neutral atoms loss electrons and when they gain back the lost electrons the charges are neutralized.

Eg. Cu=Cu2+ + 2é

Cu2+ + 2é=Cu

A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons and that means that the electric charge of the atom is neutral or otherwise known as zero. However, if a particular atom loses an electron, the atom becomes positively charged because there is more protons than electrons.
THIS IS CALLED A CATION.

How many moles of Cu do you need to react with 12 moles of O2? 2Cu(s) + O2(g) 2CuO(s)

zzz [600]

Answer:

24 mol Cu

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry

Stoichiometry

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

RxN: 2Cu (s) + O₂ (g) → 2CuO (s)

Given: 12 moles O₂

Step 2: Stoichiometry

$12 \ mol \ O_2(\frac{2 \ mol \ Cu}{1 \ mol \ O_2} )$ = 24 mol Cu

Step 3: Check

We are given 2 sig figs.

Our final answer is in 2 sig figs, so no need to round.
