The following figure represents the formation of an ionic compound. Substances A and B are initially uncharged, but when mixed e

lectrons are transferred. Using the figure, identify which substance will form the cation and which will form the anion. Provide a brief (one or two sentences) explanation for your response. (Hint: How does losing electrons affect atomic radii?)

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but some general explanation provides a clear answer to what is been asked in the question.

An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound whose constituent atoms are joined together by ionic bond. Ionic bond is a bond involving the transfer of valence electron(s) from an atom (to form a positively charged cation) to another  atom (to form a  negatively charged anion). The atom transferring is usually a metal while the atom receiving is usually a non-metal.

For example (as shown in the attachment), in the formation of NaCl salt, the sodium (Na) transfers the single electron (valence) on it's outermost shell to chlorine (Cl) which ordinarily has 7 electrons on it's outermost shell but becomes 8 after receiving the valence electron from sodium. It should also be noted that Na is a metal while Cl is a non-metal.

For the reaction shown, calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts.
Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

Molar mass of KClO_{3} = 39.1 + 35.5 + 3(16.0) = 122.6 g

Molar mass of KCl = 39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g

Molar mass of O_{2} = 32.0 g

According to the equation, 2 moles of KClO_{3} reacts to give 3 moles of oxygen.

Therefore, 2 (122.6) = 245.2 g of KClO_{3} will give 3 (32.0) = 96.0 g of oxygen. Thus, 245.2 g of KClO_{3} gives 96.0 g of oxygen.

(a) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 2.72 g of KClO_{3} as follows.

       \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 2.72 g = 1.06 g of O_{2}


(b) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 0.361 g of KClO_{3} as follows.

    \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 0.361 g = 0.141 g of O_{2}


c) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 83.6 kg KClO_{3} as follows.  

    \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 83.6 g = 32.731 kg of O_{2}

Convert kg into grams as follows.

    \frac{32.731 kg}{1 kg} \times 1000 g = 32731 g of O_{2}


(d) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 22.5 mg of KClO_{3} as follows.  

    \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 22.5 mg = 8.79 mg

Convert mg into grams as follows.

  \frac{8.79 mg}{1 mg}\times 10^{-3} g = 8.79 \times 10^{-3} g of O_{2}

If a force is applied but nothing happens, then it means that the forces are balanced. Being at such state, <span>equal forces are acting on an object in opposite directions. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>
