You can start by writing out the molecular formula of each molecule.
Aluminum (Al 3+) Phosphate (PO4 3-)
AlPO4
Nickel II (Ni 2+) sulfide (S 2-)
NiS
Aluminum Sulfide
Al2S3
Nickel Phosphate
Ni3(PO4)2
If you’re wondering, we get those charges by looking at the periodic table. The metals usually have a + charge based on their group number. The nonmetals usually - charge egual to 8 - their group number.
You then balance the ions by flipping the charges, dropping the signs, and adding them in as subscripts.
Now we can put it into an equation
AlPO4 + NiS —-> Al2S3 + Ni3(PO4)2
Balance by adding coefficients
2 AlPO4 + 3 NiS —-> Al2S3 + Ni3(PO4)2
A cation is a positive charged ion and a anion is a negatively charged ion. An electron will make a cation if it is lost and a anion if it is gained.
The etymology of the prefix cat- means the way down: so think of the sun setting down and losing light. Cat = losing electrons (Such as in a CAThode ray).
The etymology of the prefix -an means upwards. So think of the sun rising up and becoming brighter. An = gaining electrons and becoming overall more negative as electrons are negatively charged.
In order to perform the experiment, in identifying the
temperature of different kinds of liquid freeze—the needed equipment is the
thermometer. It is because the thermometer is an equipment that helps in
determining a temperature. The variable in the experiment would be the
temperature as this is not consistent for the effects or outcome will likely
change.
•3.9g of ammonia
•molar mass of ammonia = 17.03g/mol
1st you have to covert grams to moles by dividing the mass of ammonia with the molar mass:
(3.9 g)/ (17.03g/mol) = 0.22900763mols
Then convert the moles to molecules by multiplying it with Avogadro’s number:
Avogadro’s number: 6.022 x 10^23
0.22900763mols x (6.022 x 10^23 molecs/mol)
= 1.38 x 10^23 molecules
Answer:
The atom is oxidized is Ca.
Explanation:
- The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
- The oxidation process is the process in which electrons are lost and produce positively charged ions.
- The reduction process is the process in which electrons is gained and negatively charge ions are produced.
- In the reaction of chlorine with calcium:
<em>Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂,</em>
Ca loses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Ca²⁺. (Ca <em>→</em> Ca²⁺ + 2e).
Cl is gains 2 electrons in "Cl₂, oxidation state zero" and is reduced to Cl⁻. (Cl₂ + 2e <em>→</em> 2Cl⁻).
