Lorico [155]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

In order to maintain electrical neutrality, +3 nC charge which is present in the cavity tends to attract -3 nC charge in the inner surface of cavity.

Since, it is given that -3 nC charge is present in the hollow cavity. So, in order to maintain electrical neutrality -3 nc charge has to be present on the surface of the metal.

Thus, we can conclude that the total charge on the exterior surface of the metal is -3 nC.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??
mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.

Would gallium, atomic #31, likely form a action or an anion?
Stolb23 [73]
Assuming you meant cation and not action, gallium would most likely form a cation because it is a group A element

Sulfur reacts with fluorine to produce three different compounds. The mass ratio of fluorine to sulfur for each compound is give
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of F / Mass of S = 2.962/1 =2.962 X 32 / 32 = 94.78/32

Mass of F / Mass of S = 2.370 /1 = 2.370 X 32 / 32 = 75.84 /32

Mass of F /Mass of S = 3.555/1 = 3.555 x 32 / 32 = 113.76 / 32 .

Now constant mass of S that is 32 g reacts with different mass of F. They are as follows :

94.78 g , 75.84 g , and 113.76 g

Their ratio = 94.78 : 75.84 : 113.76

divide them by 19

their ratio = 5 : 4 : 6

So these data are consistent with law of multiple proportion.
