Answer:
A cation is formed when a metal ion loses a valence electron while an anion is formed when a non-metal gains a valence electron. They both achieve a more stable electronic configuration through this exchange.
What did Dalton's atomic theory contribute to science?
Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.
Hello!
The chemical reaction for the dissolving of calcium fluoride is the following:
CaF₂(s) ⇄ Ca⁺²(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)
In this reaction, and according to Le Chatelier's principle, the action that would shift this reaction away from solid calcium fluoride and towards the dissolved ions is the removing of fluoride ions.
Le Chatelier's principle states that in an equilibrium reaction, the system would shift in the opposite direction of the changes. If we remove fluoride ions from the system, it will shift towards the formation of more fluoride ions by dissolving more Calcium Fluoride to achieve equilibrium again.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
The mass of copper(II) sulfide formed is:
= 81.24 g
Explanation:
The Balanced chemical equation for this reaction is :

given mass= 54 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.55 g/mol

Moles of Cu = 0.8497 mol
Given mass = 42 g
Molar mass of S = 32.06 g/mol

Moles of S = 1.31 mol
Limiting Reagent :<em> The reagent which is present in less amount and consumed in a reactio</em>n
<u><em>First find the limiting reagent :</em></u>

1 mol of Cu require = 1 mol of S
0.8497 mol of Cu should require = 1 x 0.8497 mol
= 0.8497 mol of S
S present in the reaction Medium = 1.31 mol
S Required = 0.8497 mol
S is present in excess and <u>Cu is limiting reagent</u>
<u>All Cu is consumed in the reaction</u>
Amount Cu will decide the amount of CuS formed

1 mole of Cu gives = 1 mole of Copper sulfide
0.8497 mol of Cu = 1 x 0.8497 mole of Copper sulfide
= 0.8497
Molar mass of CuS = 95.611 g/mol


Mass of CuS = 0.8497 x 95.611
= 81.24 g
