What happens to a Lithium atom for it to become an Li+1 ion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maru [420]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

If an atom gains or loses an electron, it bacomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.

A fluorine atom will tend to gain, rather than lose, an electron. By gaining a negative electron, it has an overall negative charge. It has become a negative ion.

To two decimal places, what is the relative atomic mass and the molar mass of the element potassium, k?
SashulF [63]
The molar mass of potassium or K is 39.09 g,s/mole and the atomic mass is 39.09 u+-0.0001u. Potassium was first discovered by Humphrey Davey and was first found in the ashes of plants. It also occurs in the mineral sylvite or KCL and is mined as such.

50.g of NaNO3 was dissolved in 1250 mL of water. what is the molality of the solution? [ Molar mass of NaNO3 = 85 g/mol
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Approximately 0.47\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} (note that 1\; \rm M = 1 \; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}.)

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution gives the number of moles of solute in each unit volume of the solution. In this \rm NaNO_3 solution in water,

Let n be the number of moles of the solute in the whole solution. Let V represent the volume of that solution. The formula for the molarity c of that solution is:

\displaystyle c = \frac{n}{V}.

In this question, the volume of the solution is known to be 1250\; \rm mL. That's 1.250\; \rm L in standard units. What needs to be found is n, the number of moles of \rm NaNO_3 in that solution.

The molar mass (formula mass) of a compound gives the mass of each mole of units of this compound. For example, the molar mass of \rm NaNO_3 is 85\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} means that the mass of one mole of

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M}.

For this question,

\begin{aligned}&n\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right) \\ &= \frac{m\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right)}{M\left(\mathrm{NaNO_3}\right)}\\&= \frac{50\; \rm g}{85\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\& \approx 0.588235\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Calculate the molarity of this solution:

\begin{aligned}c &= \frac{n}{V} \\&= \frac{0.588235\; \rm mol}{1.250\; \rm L} \\&\approx 0.47\;\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Note that 1\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} (one mole per liter solution) is the same as 1\; \rm M.

Which element is undergoing oxidation? <br><br>1) Ag<br><br>2) Ag+<br><br>3) Pb<br><br>4)Pb+2
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation In chemistry is the gain in oxygen, loss of hydrogen and loss of electrons. Oxidation occur when an element with gain oxygen, loss hydrogen or loss electrons, which means the element is oxidized. Compared to reduction which is loss ofoxygen, gain of hydrogen and gain of electrons.

From the the question , Ag( silver) is undergoing oxidation.
