Answer:

A cation

Explanation:

whenever an atom looses one or more electron then it bears a positive charge on it due to more more protons than electrons in that particular atom, and that positively charged atom is known as a cation

A student neutralized 16.4 milliliters of HCl by adding 12.7 milliliters of 0.620 M KOH. What was the molarity of the HCl acid?
Katen [24]
V ( HCl ) = 16.4 mL / 1000 => 0.0164 L

M( HCl) = ?

V( KOH) = 12.7 mL / 1000 => 0.0127 L

M(KOH) = 0.620 M

Number of moles KOH:

n = M x V

n = 0.620 x 0.0127

n = 0.007874 moles of KOH

number of moles HCl :

<span>HCl + KOH = H2O + KCl
</span>
1 mole HCl ------ 1 mole KOH
<span>? mole HCl--------0.007874 moles KOH
</span>
moles HCl = 0.007874 * 1 / 1

= 0.007874 moles of HCl

M = n / V

M = 0.007874 / <span>0.0164

</span>= 0.480 M

How does a lithium cation compare to a lithium atom?
ExtremeBDS [4]
The correct answer is gonna be C) A lithium cation ion is smaller

A lithium cation has lost its valence electrons, which causes the remaining electrons to be pulled in stronger by the positive charge in the nucleus. As they get closer to the nucleus, the overall size of the atom is decreased.

Calculate the ph of the solution resulting by mixing 20.0 ml of 0.15 m hcl with 20.0 ml of 0.10 m koh
Aliun [14]

Answer:

1.60.

Explanation:

  • The no. of millimoles of HCl = MV = (0.15 M)(20.0 mL) = 3.0 mmol.
  • The no. of millimoles of KOH = MV = (0.10 M)(20.0 mL) = 2.0 mmol.

<em>Since the no. of millimoles of HCl is larger than that of KOH. The solution is acidic.</em>

<em></em>

∴ M of remaining HCl [H⁺] remaining = (NV)HCl - (NV)KOH/V total = (3.0 mmol) - (2.0 mmol) / (40.0 mL) = 0.025 M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺]

<em>∴ pH = - log[H⁺] </em>= - log(0.025) = <em>1.602 ≅ 1.60.</em>

A student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D.phototropism

Explanation:

Phototropism is a type of tropism in which a plant or plant part responds to light. According to this question, a student wanted to investigate the effect of light on the growth of cress seedlings. The student used three different pots for the experiment.

Pot 1 was placed with light from above. Pot 2 was placed in a cupboard with no light. Pot 3 was placed in a window with light from one direction only. However, the image attached to this question shows that the plants in the different pots face different directions in response to light, which depicts phototropism
