How a cation is formed by an atom?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
fenix001 [56]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed

Classify each element as a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal. br in cr ca drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. view
goldenfox [79]
Below is the distribution of given elements and additional elements in their respective bins.

Iron, Magnesium, Aluminium, Calcium, Chromium and Indium are classified as Metals due to their hardness, conduction of current and heat, Solid state, formation of metallic bonding and prefers to form cations e.t.c

Oxygen, Neon and Bromine are classified as non-metals. Non-metals are mostly gases except for Bromine. They are highly volatile and prefers to form anions.

Semimetals are those metals which have both properties of metals and non-metals and are also called as metalloids.

Iron filling's were mixed together with salt crystal's What unique property of iron would be BEST to separate the fillings from
Leto [7]

Answer:

Magnetic property

Explanation:

Iron filling is a magnetic compound, unlike the salt crystals. This means they are attracted by magnets.

To separate a mixture of iron filling s and salt crystals, a magnet should be used to remove the iron fillings from the mixture.

The partial pressure of O2 in air at sea level is 0.21atm. The solubility of O2 in water at 20∘C, with 1 atm O2 pressure is 1.38
adell [148]

Answer:

1.21x10^{-3} M

Explanation:

Henry's law relational the partial pressure and the concentration of a gas, which is its solubility. So, at the sea level, the total pressure of the air is 1 atm, and the partial pressure of O2 is 0.21 atm. So 21% of the air is O2.

Partial pressure = Henry's constant x molar concentration

0.21 = Hx1.38x10^{-3}

H = \frac{0.21}{1.38x10^{-3} }

H = 152.17 atm/M

For a pressure of 665 torr, knowing that 1 atm = 760 torr, so 665 tor = 0.875 atm, the ar concentration is the same, so 21% is O2, and the partial pressure of O2 must be:

P = 0.21*0.875 = 0.1837 atm

Then, the molar concentration [O2], will be:

P = Hx[O2]

0.1837 = 152.17x[O2]

[O2] = 0.1837/15.17

[O2] = 1.21x10^{-3} M

How many Mg atoms are present in 170g of Mg
PIT_PIT [208]
In order to calculate the number of atoms, we must first know the number of moles present. And
moles = (mass present) / (molecular mass)
Therefore, the moles of Mg present are
170 / 24 = 7.08
The number of atoms in a mole of substance is given by Avagadro's Number which is 6.02 x 10^23
Since there are 7.08 moles, there are:
7.08 * 6.02*10^23
= 4.26 * 10^24 atoms
