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.

The Goodyear blimp contains 5.7 x 10^6 L of helium at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm. What is the mass in grams of the helium insi
anygoal [31]

Answer:

1.72x10⁻⁵ g

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the PV=nRT equation, where:

  • P = 1 atm
  • V = 5.7x10⁶ L
  • n = ?
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • T = 25 °C ⇒ (25+273.16) = 298.16 K

And we <u>solve for n</u>:

  • 1 atm * 5.7x10⁶ L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K
  • n = 4.29x10⁻⁶ mol

Finally we <u>convert moles of helium to grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 4.29x10⁻⁶ mol * 4 g/mol = 1.72x10⁻⁵ g
