Metals need to give away atoms. Therefore, they tend to give away atoms and become positively charged ions. They're called 'cations' when they become positive.

Write the charge balance for an aqueous solution of arsenic acid, H3AsO4, in which the acid can dissociate to H2AsO24 , HAsO24 2
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

When the Arsenic acid,H3AsO4 is put in water it dissociates to form or give out 1 proton, 2 protons or 3 protons that is 1H^+, 2H^+ and 3H^+. Check the equation showing the dissociation reactions as given below;

H3AsO4 ===========> H^+ + AsO4^-

H3AsO4 ===========> 2H^+ + AsO4^2-

H3AsO4 ===========> 3H^+ + AsO4^3-

Therefore, the total charge balance is given as:

[H^+] =[OH^-] + [ AsO4^-] + 2[ AsO4^2-] + 3[ AsO4^3-].

Kindly note that the [OH^-] is from water.

Cyclopropane, a substance used with oxygen as a general anesthetic, contains only two elements, carbon and hydrogen. When 1.00 g
ELEN [110]

Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of compound = 1 g

Mass of CO₂ = 3.14 g

Mass of H₂O = 1.29 g

Empirical formula =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of Carbon and hydrogen present in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

For Carbon, C:

Mass of CO₂ = 3.14 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)

= 12 + 32

= 44 g/mol

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Mass of C =?

Mass of C = molar mass of C/ Molar mass of CO₂ × Mass of CO₂

Mass of C = 12/44 × 3.14

Mass of C = 0.86 g

For hydrogen, H:

Mass of C = 0.86 g

Mass of compound = 1 g

Mass of H =?

Mass of H = (Mass of compound) – (mass of C)

Mass of H = 1 – 0.86

Mass of H = 0.14 g

Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula of the cyclopropane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of C = 0.86 g

Mass of H = 0.14 g

Divide by their molar mass

C = 0.86 / 12 = 0.07

H = 0.14 / 1 = 0.14

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.07 / 0.07 = 1

H = 0.14 / 0.07 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula of cyclopropane is CH₂
