Answer:
use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.
Example:
NaCl
one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.
2CaCl2
2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
Electrons hold a negative charge, and anion refers to a negatively charged atom.
The answer is anion. Here's a way to help remember:
Cats have paws, and cations are "paws"itive (positive).
NH3 +HCl ----> NH4Cl
moles of HCl used = (0.8 x 17.4) /1000= 0.0139 moles
by use of reacting ratio between HCl to NH4Cl which is 1:1 therefore the moles of NH4Cl is also = 0.0139 moles
molar concentration = moles /volume in liters
molar concentration is therefore= (0.0139/5) x1000 = 2.7 M
Mixture is composed of molecules of different types. A compound can only be separated through chemical means. While a compound is a pure substance that contains 2 or more elements chemically combined together while a mixture are formed when two substances are added together without chemical bonds being formed.
