olga55 [171]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: option A) True

Explanation:

Joseph Proust is the founder of the Law of Definite proportion. This law states that two elements will always combine together to form a chemical compound and this will be in the same proportion by mass.

For Example: 2 moles of Hydrogen (H2) ALWAYS combine with 1 atom of Oxygen (O) to yield water (H2O)

So, the answer is True

In ionic compounds, ________ lose their valence electrons to form positively charged ________. nonmetals, anions metals, polyato
Keith_Richards [23]
Answer:
            <span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations. 

Explanation:
                   Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>

46.6 grams of mercury II sulfate (HgSO4) reacts with an excess of sodium Chloride (NaCl). How many grams of mercury II chloride
slega [8]

Answer:

m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

HgSO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow HgCl_2+Na_2SO_4

In such a way, the mercury II sulfate (molar mass 296.65g/mol) is in a 1:1 molar ratio with the mercury II chloride (molar mass 271.52g/mol), for that reason the stoichiometry to find mass in grams of mercury II chloride turns out:

m_{HgCl_2}=46.6gHgSO_4*\frac{1molHgSO_4}{296.65 gHgSO_4}*\frac{1molHgCl_2}{1molHgSO_4} *\frac{271.52gHgCl_2}{1molHgCl_2} \\\\m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Best regards.
