Chromium (Cr): 2, 8, 8, 6
Copper (Cu): 2, 8, 8, 11
Chromium+2 (Cr+2): 2, 8, 8, 4 (if the ion retains a positive charge then the amount of electrons will decrease)
Copper+2 (Cu+2): 2, 8, 8, 9
Manganese+2 (Mn+2): 2, 8, 8, 5
Soil erosion has consequences that go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has resulted in an increase in contamination and sedimentation in lakes and rivers, clogging them and causing fish and other animals to decline. Degraded lands are also less capable of retaining water, which can exacerbate flooding.
Formula: % by mass = (mass of solute / mass of solution] *100
Data:
mass of solution = 80.85 g
% by mass = 22.4%
Unknown = mass of solute
Solution
% by mass = (mass of solute / mass of solution] *100 = >
mass of solute = % by mass * mass of solution / 100
mass of solute = 22.4 * 80.85 / 100 = 18.11 g
Answer: 18.11 g
