<h2>Answer:</h2>

The density of mercury molecule is higher than water.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.In other words, density is the amount of matter within a given amount of space. water has the density of 1.0 gram per milliliter whereas the mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared.

One reason for the differences in density between mercury and water is that the atomic mass of mercury is 200.59 grams per mole. The atomic mass of water is 18.0 grams per mole. This is because mercury has a larger nucleus than hydrogen or water.

Additionally, there are strong inter-molecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules. hydrogen molecules do not stack upon one another as nicely as mercury atoms. Thus, there is additional empty spaces between the water molecules leading to its lower mass per volume(density)

Which of the following are produced when a base is dissolved in water?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer is: B. Hydroxide ions.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻).  

For example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Another example, balanced chemical reaction: Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).

According to the Arrhenius definition barium hydroxide is base.

Acids and bases when react (neutralisation) produce salt and water.

Which metal cations form a white precipitate with both H2SO4(aq) and Na2S2O4(aq)? 1. Ba2+ 2. Sr2+ 3. Fe2+ 4. Cu2+
8090 [49]

Answer:

1. Ba2+ 2. Sr2+

Explanation:

When a solution contains the Barium ,Ba²⁺ ion or Strontium, Sr²⁺ ion, they reacts with either H₂SO₄(aq) or Na₂SO₄(aq) to produce a white precipitate of BaSO₄(s) and SrSO₄(s) respectively

The chemical reactions are given below

Ba²⁺ +  H₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2H⁺ (aq)

Ba²⁺ +  Na₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ BaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺ (aq)

Sr²⁺ +  H₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ SrSO₄(s) + 2H⁺ (aq)

Sr²⁺ +  Na₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ SrSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺ (aq)

How and why ions form. Give examples of both metals and no metals
yawa3891 [41]
Ion, any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges. Positively charged ions are called cations; negatively charged ions, anions. Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the formerly bonded atoms. Examples of these processes include the reaction of a sodium atom with a chlorine atom to form a sodium cation and a chloride anion; the addition of a hydrogen cation to an ammonia molecule to form an ammonium cation; and the dissociation of a water molecule to form a hydrogen cation and a hydroxide anion.
