They are held in the atom by the positive charge of the nucleus. ... An atom that gains or loses an electron becomes an ion. If it gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

choose any bases that will selectively deprotonate the above acid, that is, any bases that will favor the formation of products.
Zanzabum

In order to deprotonate an acid, we must remove protons in order to achieve a more stable conjugate base. For this example, we can use the relationship between carboxylic acid and hydroxide.

Deprotonation is the removal of a proton from a specific type of acid in reaction to its coming into contact with a strong base. The compound formed from this reaction is known as the conjugate base of that acid. The opposite process is also possible and is when a proton is added to a special kind of base. This is a process referred to as protonation, which forms the conjugate acid of that base.

For the example we have chosen to give, the conjugate base is the carboxylate salt. This would be the compound formed by the deprotonated carboxylic acid. The base in question was strong enough to deprotonate the acid due to the greater stability offered as a conjugated base.

An ionic compound has the general form, xcly. which option for x and y correctly completes the formula?
igor_vitrenko [27]
Answer:
Case 1:
            X  =  Any element from Group I
            
                       i)    H
                       ii)   Li
                       iii)  Na
                       iv)  K
                       v)   Rb
                       vi)  Cs

            Y  =  1

Case 2:
            X  =  Any element from Group II
            
                       i)    Be
                       ii)   Mg
                       iii)  Ca
                       iv)  Sr
                       v)   Ba
                       vi)  Ra

            Y  =  2

Case 3:
            X  =  Any element from Group III
            
                       i)    B
                       ii)   Al
                       iii)  Ga
                       iv)  In
                       v)   Ti

            Y  =  3

Explanation:
                   The general formula given is as follow,

                                                    XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

What is the maximum volume of a 0.788 M CaCl2 solution that can be prepared using 85.3 g CaCl2?
Law Incorporation [45]
The answer is 0.975 L

Volume = mol/Molarity

We have molarity (0.788 M) and we need mol and volume. Let's first calculate number of moles of CaCl2 in 85.3 g:

Molar mass of CaCl2 is sum of atomic masses of Ca and Cl:
Mr(CaCl2) = Ar(Ca) + 2Ar(Cl) = 40 + 2 * 35.45 = 40 + 70.9 = 110.9 g/mol

So, if 110.9 g are in 1 mol, 85.3 g will be in x mol:
110.9 g : 1 mole = 85.3 g : x
x = 85.3 g * 1 mole / 110.9
x = 0.769 moles

Now, calculate the volume:
V = 0.769/0.788
V = 0.975 L
