The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size
Make since? i hope this helps
The mass of CO₂ gas = 4.312 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction
NaHCO₃ (s) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (aq) + CO₂ (g)
Find limiting reactant
mol NaHCO₃
mol HCl
Limiting reactant : NaHCO₃ (smaller)
mol CO₂ = mol NaHCO₃ = 0.098
mass CO₂ :
It’s water vapor, does this help?
