How many grams are in 11.9 moles of chromirum
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Method 1 proportion

1 mole of chromium is 52 grams

11.9 moles = x grams

1/11.9 = 52/x                    Cross multiply

x = 11.9 * 52

x = 618.8                         grams

Now I have used an approximate mass for Chromium. The answer you get here is expected to reflect the weigth given on your periodic table Use that to get your answer. You should give a number very close to mine. Round to 3 places as in 619.

Method Two  Formula

mols = given mass / molecular mass

11.9 = given mass /  51.9961          Multiply both sides by  51.9961

11.9 *51.9961  = given mass            

given mass = 618.75

given mass = 619

Need some help, please. Explain why anions are always larger than the atoms from which they are derived, while cations are alway
ANTONII [103]

The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.

To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.

While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.

On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.

What is the volume of 40.0 grams of argon gas at STP ?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

24.9 L Ar

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Moles
  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

<u>Aqueous Solutions</u>

  • States of Matter

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 40.0 g Ar

[Solve] L Ar

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Ar - 39.95 g/mol

[STP] 22.4 L = 1 mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 40.0 \ g \ Ar(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ar}{39.95 \ g \ Ar})(\frac{22.4 \ L \ Ar}{1 \ mol \ Ar})
  2. [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 24.9235 \ L \ Ar

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

24.9235 L Ar ≈ 24.9 L Ar
