Answer:

The correct answer is option B. positively charged.

Explanation:

A positively charged ion is an atom that readily loses its one or more electrons in a compound. Positively charged ion generally has same number of electrons and protons which means they are neutral charge atom. These atoms are generally attracted to negatively charged ion that lack electron in outer shell.

Thus, the correct answer is option. B. positively charged.

It is a positively charges because when an atom gives up electrons it becomes positively charges. Think of it like this.....its being generous so it deserves to be a positive person. ;D.
It cant be A. because a covalent bond only shares and doesn't give up electrons. Our answer must be an ion.
Its not negatively charged because it didn't gain any.

So our answer is B. positively charged

Gwar [14]

Answer:

NaCl neutral

Na₂SO₄ basic

NaHCO₃ basic

K₃PO₄ basic

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ basic

CaCl₂ neutral

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water.

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water

Explanation:

<em>Identify each item as being acidic, basic, or neutral when dissolved in water. If a particular ingredient does make an acidic or basic solution, describe how this occurs.</em>

NaCl

When NaCl is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Na₂SO₄

When Na₂SO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the SO₄²⁻ ion.

SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HSO₄⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

NaHCO₃

When NaHCO₃ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the HCO₃⁻ ion.

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂CO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

K₃PO₄

When K₃PO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the PO₄³⁻ ion.

PO₄³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ (sodium citrate)

When Na₃C₆H₅O₇ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the C₆H₅O₇³⁻ ion.

C₆H₅O₇³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₆O₇²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

CaCl₂

When CaCl₂ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

Na₂C₂O₄(aq) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

C₂H₂O₄(aq) ⇄ C₂HO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

What are 5 facts about the enviorment in the Atacama Desert?

Kaylis [27]

The Atacama Desert is a plateau in South America.

Covering a 1,000-kilometre strip of land on the Pacific coast.

West of the Andes mountains. It is the driest non-polar desert in the world.

In the late 1800s, Chile and Bolivia disputed this land in the Guerra del Pacífico (War of the Pacific) becaue both countries claimed to be rightful owners of this region that.

During the day, temperatures in the desert can reach around 40º C (104º F).
