C—stems and leaves growing upward?
Answer:
b) Gain or lose electrons
Explanation:
An ion is an electrically charged particle. For an atom to be charged, it must have gained or lost electron in the process and therefore, it becomes an ion.
The loss or gain of electrons is what makes an atom charged and eventually becomes an ion.
A positively charged ion is one that has lost an electron and it is called a cation. In such an ion, the number of electrons are lesser than those of protons. This is why they are cations
A negatively charged ion is one that has gained electrons. They are called anions. In such an ion, the number of electrons are greater than that of protons.
Explanation:
The net equation will be as follows.
So, we are required to find for this reaction.
Therefore, steps involved for the above process are as follows.
Step 1: Convert K from solid state to gaseous state
, = 89 kJ
Step 2: Ionization of gaseous K
, = 418 KJ
Step 3: Dissociation of gas into chlorine atom
.
, = 122 KJ
Step 4: Iozination of chlorine atom.
, = -349 KJ
Step 5: Add ion and ion formed above to get KCl
.
, = -717 KJ
Now, using Born-Haber cycle, value of enthalpy of the formation is calculated as follows.
= 89 + 418 + 122 - 349 - 717
= - 437 KJ/mol
Thus, we can conclude that the heat of formation of KCl is - 437 KJ/mol.
