Answer:

b) Gain or lose electrons

Explanation:

An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.

The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.

A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations

A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.

Tom [10]

Answer:

Keep temperature constant and increase the pressure of the reaction. The rate of reaction increases.

Explanation:

First of all, the question is asking us to design an experiment to investigate the effect of pressure on the rate of reaction hence the pressure can not be held constant since it is the variable under investigation. This eliminates the first option.

Secondly, increasing the pressure of the reaction means that particles of the gas collide more frequently leading to a greater number of effective collisions and a consequent increase in the rate of reaction according to the collision theory.

Hence the answer above.

Could volume by displacement be used to determine the volume of a lump of rock salt? Explain would be nice
Readme [11.4K]

Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:

1).  Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water.  So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease.  If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.

So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve.  I don't know right now what that could
be.  You'd have to shop around and find one.

2).  Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt.  If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under.  If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.

So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
