Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuliya22 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Sodium ions - Na⁺ - cation

Potassium ions - K⁺ cation

Chloride ions - Cl⁻ anion

Magnesium ions - Mg²⁺ cation

Calcium ions - Ca²⁺ cation

Phosphate ions - P³⁻ anion

Iron ions - Fe²⁺ cation

Zinc ions - Zn⁺ cation

Explanation:

Following is a list of 8 common but essential ions in the cells and fluids of human bodies:

1. Sodium ions helps in regulation and control the level of body fluids

2. Potassium ions help regulate cellular functions

3. Calcium ions are essential for building and maintaining strength bones and teeth. and have role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and the transmission of nerve signals to cells.

4. Chloride ions are the main anions found outside body cells. They acts as counterions

5. Magnesium ions  present in the bones

6. Phosphate ions present in body fluids act as the counterions.

7. Iron

8. Zinc

A large balloon is initially filled to a volume of 25.0 L at 353 K and a pressure of 2575 mm Hg. What volume of gas will the bal
bija089 [108]

Answer:

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as

\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 25.0 L

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 2575 mm Hg

Also, P (atm) = P (mm Hg) / 760

P₁ = 2575 / 760 atm = 3.39 atm

P₂ = 1.35 atm

T₁ = 353 K

T₂ = 253 K

Using above equation as:

\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}

\frac{{3.39}\times {25.0}}{353}=\frac{{1.35}\times {V_2}}{253}

\frac{1.35V_2}{253}=\frac{3.39\times \:25}{353}

Solving for V₂ , we get:

<u>V₂ = 45.0 L</u>

45.0 L is the volume of gas will the balloon contain at 1.35 atm and 253 K.

How many moles of KBr will be produced from 10.51 moles of BaBr2?
gregori [183]

Answer:

21.02moles of KBr

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of moles BaBr₂ = 10.51moles

Complete reaction equation:

           BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → KBr + BaSO₄

Upon inspecting the given equation, we find out that the atoms are not balanced on both sides of the equation:

        The balanced equation is:

           BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → 2KBr + BaSO₄

From the equation:

     1 mole of BaBr₂ produces 2 moles of KBr

∴   10.51 moles of BaBr₂ will yield (2 x 10.51) moles = 21.02moles of KBr

An aqueous magnesium chloride solution is made by dissolving 7.15 moles of MgCl2 in sufficient water so that the final volume of
irinina [24]

Answer:

2.86mol/L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of MgCl₂  = 7.15moles

Volume of solution  = 2.50L

Unknown:

Molarity of the MgCl₂ solution = ?

Solution:

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of solute found in a given volume.

  Molarity  = \frac{number of moles }{volume}  

 Insert the parameters and solve;

   Molarity  = \frac{7.15}{2.5}   = 2.86mol/L

Which of the following happens when solid sodium chloride dissolves in water?A.The attractive forces between water and the sodiu
grin007 [14]

Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

<em />

<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.
