Answer: it is a cation (a positively charged ion). its charge is (+). It will have one positive charge.

Explanation: Ions are charged atoms. Ions can be positively charged or negatively charged. A positively charged ion is called a cation while a negatively charged ion is called an anion. Cation is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons while an anion is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons. Normally, an atom has no charge that is, it is neutral because an atom always have equal number of protons and electrons. Protons have positive charge while electrons have negative charge. For instance when atom which have 8 electrons and 8 protons loses one electron, it will then have 7 electrons and 8 protons, thereby making the atom to have a positive (+) charge.

Which equation satisfies the law of conservation of matter?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. 3O₂ + 2Al → 2AlO₃

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can nether be created nor destroyed in a closed system or chemical reaction i.e. the total mass of the matter always remains the same throughout the chemical or physical change.

For example, in the given reaction 3O₂ + 2Al → 2AlO₃ the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the product.

Mass of oxygen = 16 x 3 = 48 AMU

Mass of aluminium = 2 x 27 = 54 AMU

Total molecular mass of the reactants = 102 AMU

Total molecular mass of the product = 2 x 27 + 6 x 8 = 102 AMU.

Hence, the total mass of the matter remains the same.

1. What does your body do to infected cells?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: White blood cells form to fight off cell infections.

Explanation:

1. Your body produces white blood cells which fight against infected cells, depends on what type of cell it is and how infected it is.

2. The immune response to a viral infection is primarily generated by a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes; cells that are mostly localized in ‘lymphoid tissues’ such as the lymph nodes or tonsils. However, the number of lymphocytes that can recognize and react against any individual type of virus is initially very small. This is particularly true for a novel virus such as SARS-CoV-2, which people have never encountered before. In order to produce an effective immune response, the small number of lymphocytes that can recognize a virus must become more abundant. Even though lymphocytes proliferate quickly it still takes several days before there are sufficient cells available to fight back against the infection. During this period the virus may also be spreading rapidly, so there is a race between the virus and the immune system that may determine the final outcome, in terms of recovery.
