Answer:

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

How many moles of NaCl are present in 2.50 L of a 0.070 M solution?

posledela

Given :

Volume of NaCl solution 2.5 L .

Molarity of NaCl solution is 0.070 M .

To Find :

How many moles are present in the solution.

Solution :

Let, n be the number of moles.

We know, molarity is given by :

$M = \dfrac{n}{V(in\ L)}$

So,

$n = M \times V\\\\n = 0.070\times 2.5 \\\\n = 0.175\ moles$

Therefore, number of moles of NaCl is 0.175 moles.

The answer is atomic radii; the size or radii of an atom increases from left to right, versus the ionization energies and electronegativities of atoms which increase from right to left.

An alkene with the molecular formula C8H16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (CH3)2C=O and (CH3)3CCHO. The alkene is:

aalyn [17]

Answer:

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, $Me_{2}S$ etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Reaction steps are shown below.
