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.
<span>1 mol mag acetate dissociates into 1 mol Mg ion and 2 mols acetate ions in water. Therefore, if 0.6 mol mg of acetate is dissolved in 0.135 literss of water, we will have 0.6/0.135 = 4.44 moles / lit Mg2+ ions and 0.6*2/0.135 = 8.88 moles / liter C2H3O2- ions.</span>
Answer is: Reactants: 2VCl2 and 3Cl2; product: 2VCl5.
Balanced chemical reaction: 2VCl₂ + 3Cl₂ → 2VCl₅.
According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of chemical reaction.
There are ten chlorine atoms and two vanadium atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.
Answer:
You would use the meter stick on the right
Explanation:
The meter stick on the right has the little lines to see the decimal for a more accurate measure while the other you would have to guess.
