Answer:
B.) a cation that is smaller than the original atom
Explanation:
When the atoms of an element gains or loses electrons, it becomes charged. This charged atom is called an ION. An ion can either be a CATION or ANION depending on whether the atom loses electrons to become positively charged (cation) or gains electrons to become negatively charged (anion).
In this case, magnesium (Mg) atom gives up or loses electron(s) to become an ion, it will become positively charged and hence called a CATION. However, since it loses electrons in its atom, it becomes SMALLER than the original magnesium atom. This is because the electrons left in the atom becomes more attracted to the nucleus and decreases the ionic radius.
I am not the best at this, but im pretty sure its below cloud
Some Gases are lighter than air
Remember,Air is a mixture of gases
So you cant tell!
It depends on the gas
Hope i helped
Answer:
Mass = 36.4 ×10⁻³ g
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of container = 100 mL ( 100/1000 = 0.1 L)
Pressure = 688 mmHg (0.9 atm)
Temperature = 565°C ( 565 + 273 = 838 K)
Mass in grams of nitrogen = ?
Solution:
According to ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
n = number of moles
P = pressure
R = general gas constant
T = temperature
From this equation we will determine the number of moles and then we we will calculate the mass.
n = PV/RT
n = 0.9 atm × 0.1 L / 0.0821 atm. L / mol.K × 838 K
n = 0.09 / 68.8
n = 0.0013 mol
or
n = 1.3×10⁻³ mol
Mass of nitrogen gas:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 1.3×10⁻³ mol × 28 g/mol
Mass = 36.4 ×10⁻³ g
