How many atoms of O are there?

What is the metal cation in K,SO,? (cation is pronounced cat-ion and refers to a positively charged ion)

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

An analytical chemist weighs out 0.188 g of an unknown triprotic acid into a 250 mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark wit

Anon25 [30]

Answer: The molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of triprotic acid

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=3\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0600M\\V_2=95.9mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.0600\times 95.9\\\\M_1=0.0077M$

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.0077 M

Given mass of triprotic acid = 0.188 g

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0077M=\frac{0.188\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}\times 250}\\\\\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}=97.66g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol

group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called _______. A. a polar ion B. a non-polar ion C. a polyatomic ion D. a commo

raketka [301]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.

When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.

For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form $F^{-}$ ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms $Na^{+}$ ion.

When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.

Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

In general, in what type of solvent (non-polar, moderately polar, or highly polar) are polar solutes most soluble? Explain why.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

In general, polar solutes are most soluble in highly polar solvents.

Explanation:

The general rule is "like dissolves like" which means that polar solvents dissolve polar (or ionic) solutes and non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.

In order for a solvent dissolve a solute, the strength of the interacttion (force) between the solute and the solvent units (atoms, molecules, or ions) must be stronger than the strength of the forces that keep together he particles of the pure substances (known as intermolecular forces).

Since the nature of the interactions between the units are electrostatic, the more polar is the solvent the better it will be able to attract and surround the solute particles, keeping them separated and in solution. That mechanism explains why polar solutes will be most soluble in highly polar solvents.
