When a metallic element is converted to a positive ion during a chemical reaction with oxygen, the element is said to be?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
5 0

The metal is being <em>oxidized</em>.

Metals- along with other elements- are neutral and have oxidation state of 0 in their respective elementary states.

Metal atoms can lose electrons to <em>electronegative</em> elements such as oxygen on exposure. Atoms that have lost one or more negatively-charged electrons are no longer neutral and demonstrate a positive charge. Those atoms have converted to positively charged <em>ions</em> or <em>cations</em>.

<em>Oxidation</em> is the process of <em>losing</em> electrons whereas <em>Reduction</em> refers to the process of <em>gaining</em> electrons. "OIL RIG." Metal atoms here lose electrons and are thus oxidized.

Calculate the freezing point (0°C) of a 0.05500 m aqueous solution of glucose.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

-0.1767°C (Option A)

Explanation:

Let's apply the colligative property of freezing point depression.

ΔT = Kf . m. i

i = Van't Hoff factot (number of ions dissolved). Glucose is non electrolytic so i = 1

m = molality (mol of solute / 1kg of solvent)

We have this data → 0.095 m

Kf is the freezing-point-depression constantm 1.86 °C/m, for water

ΔT = T° frezzing pure solvent - T° freezing solution

(0° - T° freezing solution) = 1.86 °C/m . 0.095 m . 1

T° freezing solution = - 1.86 °C/m . 0.095 m . 1 → -0.1767°C

The atomic mass of magnesium is the weighted average of the atomic masses of
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2. All the naturally occurring isotopes of Mg.

Explanation:

You want to know the atomic mass of the magnesium you use in the lab. That’s “natural” magnesium. So, you must use the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes in natural Mg.

1. and 3. are <em>wrong</em>. You won’t get the correct mass for natural Mg if you use only the artificial isotopes for your calculation.

4. is <em>wrong</em>. You must use all the naturally occurring isotopes. The two most abundant isotopes of Mg account for only 90 % of the atoms. If you ignore the other 10 %, your calculation will be wrong.
