Define cation and anion. In which case are electrons gained? Lost?

Chemistry
1 answer:
inn [45]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A cation is a positively charged ion.

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

  • In a cation, electrons are usually lost
  • In an anion, electrons are usually gained.

In an atom, the balance between the number of protons and electrons determine whether they become an anion or cation.

Protons are positively charged particles.

Electrons are negatively charged

 When an atom gains electrons, the number of electrons becomes more than that of protons. This leaves a net negative charge on the atom and it makes an anion.

 When an atom loses electrons, the number of protons becomes more than that of electrons. This leaves a net positive charge on the atom and makes a cation.

How many molecules are there in 2.30g of NH3
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

8.13x10^22 molecules

Explanation:

We can use the Avogadro's number(6.022 x 10^23 units / mole)

2.30 g NH3 (1 mol / 17.03 g ) (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 8.13x10^22 molecules

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

What is the percent by mass of nahco3 in a solution containing 10 g of nahco3 dissolved in 400 ml of h2o?
Marat540 [252]
Answer is: the percent by mass of NaHCO₃ is 2,43%.
m(NaHCO₃) = 10 g.
V(H₂O) = 400 ml.
d(H₂O) = 1 g/ml.
m(H₂O) = V(H₂O) · d(H₂O).
m(H₂O) = 400 ml · 1 g/ml.
m(H₂O) = 400 g.
m(solution) = m(H₂O) + m(NaHCO₃).
m(solution) = 400 g + 10 g.
m(solution) = 410 g.
ω(NaHCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 410 g · 100%.
ω(NaHCO₃) = 2,43 %

What happens to the speed of motion of the particles of a gas when a certain volume of the gas is heated at constant pressure? E
Vitek1552 [10]
As the gas is heated, the particles will begin to move faster. Likewise if you start to cool a gas, the particles will move slower. Because the gas remains at a constant pressure and volume, the particles cannot spread out so they simply move around the container even faster.

Hope this helps :)
