What is the metal cation in K,SO,? (cation is pronounced cat-ion and refers to a positively charged ion)

Chemistry

Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

2K⁺²  ,  SO₄²⁻

K₂SO₄

If your lawn is 21.0 ft wide and 20.0 ft long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1350 new snow flakes every minute. How m
GaryK [48]
<span>First we can calculate the area of the rectangular lawn using the formula:
Area = Width x Length = 21 ft x 20 ft = 420 square feet
       
And the total number of snow flakes per minute on the entire lawn is:
   
(1350 snowflakes per minute per square foot) x (420 square feet) = 567,000 snowflakes per minute
       
In one hour (or 60 minutes) we get a total of:
   
(567,000 snowflakes per minute) x (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 34,020,000 snowflakes
       
The total mass of which would be:
   
34,020,000 snowflakes x 1.60 mg = 54,432,000 mg = 54.432 kg (as 1 kg = 1,000,000 mg).
       
So 54.432 kg of snow accumulates every hour on the lawn.</span>

Determine if these molecules and ion are polar.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

a. Polar

b. Polar

c. Non-polar

d. Non-polar

Explanation:

a. H_3O^+, hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.

b. H_2S has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.

c. PCl_5 is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.

d. CF_4 is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.

Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0
