The anion of which element has a –1 charge?

1 answer:

6 0

An anion is a negatively charged ion. An element can become an anion if it takes an extra electron such that it has one more electron than protons.
Atoms would preferentially taken an extra electron so that it can have a full octet and be more stable.

$\sf Cl^-, Br^-, F^-$ are some of the few elements that would have a -1 charge.

A tank with volume of 2.4 cu ft is filled with Methane to a pressure of 1500 psia at 104 degrees F. Determine the molecular weig

Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

Pressure, P = 1500 psia, Temperature, T = $104^{o}F$ = 104 + 460 = 564 R

Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft, R = 10.73 $psia ft^{3}/lb mol R$

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

n = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

m = $n \times W$

= $0.594 \times 16.04$

= 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

We will calculate the density as follows.

d = $\frac{PM}{RT}$

= $\frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}$

= 3.975 $lb/ft^{3}$

Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

Specific gravity relative to air = $\frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}$

= $\frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}$

= 51.96

How many moles of ba(oh)2 are present in 275 ml of 0.200 m ba(oh)2?

DENIUS [597]

You have to put your attention to the unit of concentration. It is expressed in terms of molarity, which is represented in M. It is the number of moles solute per liter solution. So, you simply have to multiply the molarity with the volume in liters.

Volume = 275 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.275 L
Moles Ba(OH)₂ = (0.200 M)(0.275 L) = 0.055 mol
