A. positive ions : Positive ions are formed when a neutral atom loses electrons. When neutral atoms lose electrons, the ions formed are always smaller than the neutral atoms.

B. negative ions : Yes. When the neutral atoms gain electrons to form negative ions, they always become larger, because the addition of one electron increases the electrostatic repulsion of the outermost electrons, forcing them to drift apart.

C. cations No. Cation is the same that positive ion.

D. none of the above

A gas occupies 5.31 liters at a pressure of 0.55 atm. Determine the volume at standard pressure.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Option A; V = 2.92 L

Explanation:

If we assume a lot of things, like:

The gas is an ideal gas.

The temperature is constant.

The gas does not interchange mass with the environment.

Then we have the relation:

P*V = n*R*T = constant.

Where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = constant of the ideal gas

T = temperature.

We know that when P = 0.55 atm, the volume is 5.31 L

Then:

(0.55 atm)*(5.31 L) = constant

Now, when the gas is at standard pressure ( P = 1 atm)

We still have the relation:

P*V = constant = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)

(1 atm)*V = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)

Now we only need to solve this for V.

V = (0.55 atm/ 1 atm)*(5.31 L) = 2.92 L

V = 2.92 L

Then the correct option is A.

How many atoms are in 578g Na

borishaifa [10]

1.51 x 10²⁵atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Na = 578g

Unknown:

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

To find the number of atoms, we must first find the number of moles the given mass contains.

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of Na = 23g

Number of moles = $\frac{578}{23}$ = 25.13moles

1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³atoms

25.13 mole of Na = 25.13 x 6.02 x 10²³atoms

This gives 1.51 x 10²⁵atoms of Na

Hello,

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction$

Explanation:

Ferrous Sulphate $(FeSO4)$ is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide $(SO_3)$ , Sulphur Dioxide $(SO_2)$ as well as Ferric Oxide $(Fe_2O_3)$ .

We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.

Hence,

$FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

Now,

a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of steps:

1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside $FeSO_4$ .

2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:

Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :

$2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds decompose into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate decomposes into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is Decomposition Reaction.
