Positive ions are atoms that have lost an electron from its outtermost shell. It is positive because electrons are negative and the loss of something negative makes it a bit more positive.
A negative ion is larger than its original atom because it's gained an electron.

The more electrons an atomic has on its electron cloud, the bigger the atom.

Hopefully I didn't confuse you, good luck. ♡

luda_lava [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>The temperature of the gas: V</h3>

The temperature of gas is a variable quantity. It can be changed by changing energy or pressure of gas.

<h3>The amount of gas in the tube (in terms of mass and moles): C</h3>

It is a constant entity. As mass of gas once taken can not be changed by changing temperature, pressure etc.

<h3>The radius of the tube: C</h3>

The radius of tube cannot change at any rate.

<h3>The temperature of the gas (changed by the water surrounding it):  V</h3>

It can be changed by changing the temperature of water surrounding it.

<h3>The type of gas: C</h3>

It can never be changed.

<h3>The pressure of the gas: V</h3>

It can be changed by simply changing temperature and volume of gas.

How many oxygen atoms are in 25 g of oxygen?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon Dioxide-CO2

To get molecules, we must convert grams to moles and moles to atoms using Avogadro's number.

Molar mass of CO2=

C:12.0g+O:16.0gx2=44.0g CO2

25.0g CO2 | 1 mol CO2 | 6.02x10 23 molecules CO2

= 3.42x10 23 molecules CO2

1 | 44.0g CO2 | 1 mol CO2

Now to get the number of oxygen atoms.

Since there are 3 atoms in CO2 and 2 of them are oxygen, we will divide by 3 (1.14x10 23) and multiply by 2 (2.28 x10 23)

So the number of oxygen atoms in 25.0 grams of CO2 is 2.28x10 23 or 228 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
