The Roman numerals in a cation's name indicate: THE POSITIVE CHARGE ON THE CATION

Cations are metallic atoms that loosely hold it electrons, making it easy to lose electrons.

The Roman numerals in a cation's name not only indicates the charge on the cation but it makes it easier to distinguish cations that share the same metal name.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element gain electrons then it acquires a negative charge. For example, Cl + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Cl^{-}

Whereas when an element loses electrons then it acquires a positive charge.

For example, Fe \rightarrow Fe^{2+} + 2e^{-1}

The atom Fe^{2+} can also be written using roman numerals as Fe(II).

Therefore, we can conclude that roman numerals in a cation's name indicate the positive charge on the cation.

Answer:

30 hot dogs

Explanation:

It is given that :

There are 4 packets of eight wieners, i.e. 4 x 8 = 32 wieners

There are 3 bags of ten buns, i.e. 3 x 10 = 30 buns

One hot dogs need 1 bun and 1 wiener to make a hot dog.

There are 30 buns, so 30 hot dogs can be made out by using all the 30 buns and the 30 wieners out of the 32 wieners.

Therefore, 30 hot dogs.

And the number of extra wieners left = 32 - 30 = 2 wieners.

Calculate the pH of 0.50M H2S
-BARSIC- [3]
I got that pH=3.65 using the fact that Ka=[H⁺][A⁻]/[HA] at equilibrium.  In the ice table, I stands for initial, C stands for change, and E stands for equilibrium.  

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
