What is a cation and where can you find it on the periodic table?
Maslowich

Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

2. How many grams of zinc will be formed if 32.0 g of copper reacts with zinc nitrate? Copper(I)nitrate is the other product.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

16.46 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometry problem.
  • We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:

<em>2Cu + Zn(NO₃)₂ → Zn + 2Cu(NO₃).</em>

  • It is clear that 2.0 moles of Cu reacts with 1.0 mole of Zn(NO₃)₂ to produce 1.0 mole of Zn and 2.0 moles of Cu(NO₃).
  • We need to calculate the number of moles of the reacted Cu (32.0 g) using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>

  • The no. of moles of Cu = mass / atomic mass = (32.0 g) / (63.546 g/mol) = 0.503 mol.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

2.0 moles of Cu produces → 1.0 mole of Zn, from the stichiometry.

0.503 mole of Cu produces → ??? mole of Zn.

  • The no. of moles of Zn produced = (1.0 mol)(0.503 mol) / (2.0 mol) = 0.2517 mol.

∴ The grams of Zn produced = no. of moles x atomic mass of Zn = (0.2517 mol)(65.38 g/mol) = 16.46 g.

Calculate the number of Carbon atoms in 1.50g of C6H12O6
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

3.01 ·10↑22

Explanation:

First you want to convert the grams of Glucose to moles of Glucose.

\frac{1.5 grams of glucose}{180.15588grams/molesglucose} =.008326 Moles of Glucose

Next find the formula units of glucose.

.008326Moles of Glucose · 6.022 · 10↑23Forumula Units*Moles↑-1 =

5.01 ·10↑21 Formula Units of Glucose

Now multiply the formula units of glucose by the amount of each element in the molecule.

So for Carbon:

6carbon · 5.01 · 10↑21 = 3.01 · 10↑22

Which of the following sentences represents a physical change? sugar dissolves in coffee iron rusts gasoline burns in an engine
MAXImum [283]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Physical changes example is sugar dissolves in coffee
  • Chemical changes examples are iron rusts, gasoline burns in an engine and a candle burns.

Explanation.

  • Physical changes depend on only physical state, not on composition, which can be separated by physical means while chemical changes depend on composition and only separated by chemical ways.
  • As in case of iron rusting, gasoline and candle burn are cases chemical changes bcz they convert into another substance whose composition is different from other as compare to sugar which has same composition in coffee ,only state is changed from solid to liquid.
