<h3>Answer:</h3>

Sodium

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • To answer the question we need to know a few things.

What are cations?

  • Cations are positively charged ions that are formed when an atom of an element loses an electron(s).

What elements form cations?

  • Metallic elements form cations since they react by losing electrons thus forming ions with a positive charge.
  • For example, alkali metals such as sodium form cations with a charge of +1.
  • In this case, sodium will form a cation with a charge of + 1, Na⁺

What are negatively charged ions?

  • Negatively charged ions are known as anions.
  • They are formed by non-metallic elements such as sulfur, argon, silicon, etc.

The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/cm^3 at 20 degrees C. What volume of ethanol has a mass of 15.5 grams?
lys-0071 [83]
<span>density = mass / volume
   
given the quotient , we have density and mass, volume can be easily calculated as:
   
volume = mass / p =15.5 g / 0.789 g/cm^3
   
=~ 20 cm^3 (dimension ally constant)</span>

How many moles of nitrogen gas are there in 16.8 L of this gas at STP?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
According to Avogadro's Law, same volume of any gas at standard temperature and pressure will occupy same volume. And one mole of any Ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm³ (1 dm³ = 1 L).

Data Given:

                  n = moles = ?
                  V = Volume = 16.8 L

Solution:
               
As 22.4 L volume is occupied by one mole of gas then the 16.8 L of this gas will contain....

                           = ( 1 mole × 16.8 L) ÷ 22.4 L
                    
                           = 0.75 moles

Result:
           
16.8 L of Nitrogen gas will contain 0.75 moles at standard temperature and pressure.
