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.

Oxygen and hydrogen are kept under the same temperature and pressure. Oxygen molecule is 16 times more massive than hydrogen one

lozanna [386]

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a substance then there will occur an increase in the kinetic energy of its molecules.

Also, K.E = $\frac{3}{2}kT$

So, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature.

Hence, when temperature and pressure are kept the same for both oxygen and hydrogen gas then values of their kinetic energy will be the same irrespective of their masses.

Thus, we can conclude that kinetic energy of oxygen molecule is the same as compared to hydrogen molecule.

Answer:

a rapidly flowing river discharges into the ocean where tidal currents are weak.

Explanation:

The force of the river pushing fresh water out to sea rather than tidal currents transporting seawater upstream determines the water circulation in these estuaries.
