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

Determine the number of molecules in 3.79 kilograms of the fictional compound Cs7(Cr5O3)4. Include the units, but do not write t
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

1.0555 * 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

Number of molecules = ?

Mass = 3.79  Kg = 3790 g

Molar mass of Cs7(Cr5O3)4 = 2162.25 g/mol

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Number of moles = 3790 g / 2162.25 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.7528 mol

1 mol = 6.022 * 10^23 molecules

1.7528 mol = x

solving for x;

x = 6.022 * 10^23 *  1.7528

x = 1.0555 * 10^24 molecules

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Mars atmosphere contains mainly carbon iv oxide, but the greenhouse effect as subdued as there is so little CO2 overall.

Venus as a planet contains 96.5% of carbon iv oxide. it doesn't contain water which can trap the CO2 as we have on earth where the oceans are able to trap the CO2 present and subdue the greenhouse effect. This inability to trap CO2 in Venus prevents infrared rays from escaping and with the fact the Venus is closer to the sun than earth and mars, its surface it extremely hot.
