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

Chemistry

Orlov [11]3 years ago

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.

The molar mass of barium nitrate (ba(no3)2) is 261.35 g/mol. what is the mass of 5.30 × 1022 formula units of ba(no3)2? 0.0900 g
liberstina [14]

Molar mass is the ratio of the mass to that amount of the substance. The mass of the barium nitrate in the formula unit is 23.0 grams.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

The mass of a substance is the product of the molar mass of the compound and the number of moles of the compound.

Given,

Molar mass of barium nitrate = 261.35 g/mol

If, 6.022 \times 10^{23} have a mass of 261.35 g/mol then, 5.30 \times 10^{22} formula units will have a mass of,

\begin{aligned}& = \dfrac{261.35 \times 5.30 \times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\&= 23.0\;\rm gm\end{aligned}

Therefore, option C. 23.0 gm is the mass of barium nitrate.

Do you think that the human being is the center of the universe?
Andrej [43]
I think that the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being. Everything revolves around the sun, not someone. U know when to sleep, when the time is, and when to wake up based on the sun. All the planets revolve around it. This is why I think the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 65.8 grams of water from 31.5ºC to 46.9ºC?
vodomira [7]

Answer: 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J

Explanation:

1) Data:

Water ⇒ C = 1 cal/g°C

m = 65.8 g

Ti = 31.5°C

Tf = 36.9°C

Heat, Q = ?

2) Formula:

Q = mCΔT

3) Calculations:

Q = 65.8g × 1 cal/g°C × (46.9°C - 31.5°C) = 1,013.2 cal

4) You can convert from calories to Joules using the conversion factor:

1 cal = 4.18 J

⇒ 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
