Answer:

cation +2

Explanation:

A cation is a positively charged ion, while an anion is a negatively charged ion. Contrary to how it sounds, when an atom loses electrons, it's charge becomes more positive. Since the calcium atom lost 2 electrons, it is a positive (+2) ion.

What is an ion? what is a valence electron? how is an ion formed?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

Given the amount of camphor (200mg) we are using in this experiment, please determine how many mg of sodium borohydride to use i
swat32

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Camphor may be reduced as readily in the presence of sodium borohydride(NaHB4). The resulting compound which is stereoselective requires 1 mole of sodium borohydride (NaHB4) to reduce 1 mole of camphor in this reaction. The reaction is shown below.

Through the reduction process of camphor, the reducing agent can reach the carbonyl face with a one-carbon linkage. The product stereoisomer is known as borneol.

If the molecular weight of camphor = 152.24 g/mol

and it mass = 200 mg

The its no of moles = 200 mg/ 152.24 g/mol

= 1.3137 mmol

Now the amount of the required mmol for NaBH4 to be consumed in the reaction = 5.2 × 1.3137 mmol

= 6.831 mmol

since the molar mass of NaBH4 = 37.83 g/mol

Then, using the same formula:

No of moles = mass/molar mass

mass = No of moles × molar mass

mass = 6.831 mmol × 37.83 g/mol

mass of NaBH4 used = 258.42 mg

During a laboratory experiment, 36.12 grams of Aboz was formed when O2 reacted with aluminum metal at 280.0 K and 1.4 atm. What
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

8.70 liters

Explanation:

  • 3O₂+ 4Al → 2AI₂O₃

First we <u>convert 36.12 g of AI₂O₃ into moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 36.12 g ÷ 101.96 g/mol = 0.354 mol AI₂O₃

Then we <u>convert AI₂O₃ moles into O₂ moles</u>, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction:

  • 0.354 mol AI₂O₃ * \frac{3molO_2}{2molAl_2O_3} = 0.531 mol O₂

We can now use the <em>PV=nRT equation</em> to <u>calculate the volume</u>, V:

  • 1.4 atm * V = 0.531 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 280.0 K
  • V = 8.708 L
