Answer:
<span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations.
Explanation:
Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>

<span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2.
Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.
+x -6 = -2
+x -2
S O3
Solve for x
x = +4</span>
Molarity of the resulting solution will be 1.33 M.
<u>Explanation:</u>
First we have to find the number of moles for each of the solution using the formula, moles = molarity × volume
For cup 1 = 1 M ×0.05 L = 0.05 moles
For cup 2 = 2.5 M × 0.05 L= 0.125 moles
For cup 3 = 0.5 M × 0.05 L = 0.025 moles
Total moles = 0.05 + 0.125 + 0.025 = 0.2 moles
We have to find the total volume as, 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 0.15 L
Now we have to find the molarity as, moles / volume = 0.2 moles/ 0.15 L = 1.33 M
