Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A

answer 1 :

Law of conservation of momentum states that

For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.

answer 2: 

When a substance is provided energy in the form of heat, it's temperature increases. The extent of temperature increase is determined by the heat capacity of the substance. The larger the heat capacity of a substance, the more energy is required to raise its temperature.

When a substance undergoes a FIRST ORDER phase change, its temperature remains constant as long as the phase change remains incomplete. When ice at -10 degrees C is heated, its temperature rises until it reaches 0 degrees C. At that temperature, it starts melting and solid water is converted to liquid water. During this time, all the heat energy provided to the system is USED UP in the process of converting solid to the liquid. Only when all the solid is converted, is the heat used to raise the temperature of the liquid.

This is what results in the flat part of the freezing/melting of condensation/boiling curve. In this flat region, the heat capacity of the substance is infinite. This is the famous "divergence" of the heat capacity during a first order phase transition.

There are certain phase transitions where the heat capacity does not become infinitely large, such as the process of a non-magnetic substance becoming a magnetic substance (when cooled below the so-called Curie temperature).

4 Nitrogen monoxide reacts with oxygen like this:

olga2289 [7]

a. mol O₂=0.5

b. volume O₂ = 25 cm³

c. i. the total volume of the two reactants = 75 cm³

c. ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed = 50 cm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2NO(gas) + O₂(gas) ⇒ 2NO₂ (gas)

mol NO = 1

From the equation, mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so mol O₂ :

$\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1=0.5$

From Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

Because mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so volume O₂ :

$\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 50~cm^3=25~cm^3$

i. total volume of reactants : 25 cm³+ 50 cm³=75 cm³

ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed :

mol ratio NO : NO₂ = 2 : 2, so volume NO₂ = volume NO = 50 cm³
