Answer: it would be cation, 2+

Explanation: electrons are negatively charged by 1. So if you get rid of 2 electrons it would be positive and cation is used to represent positive ions.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is correct or incorrect.1)Every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid2)Ever
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

1) correct

2) incorrect

3) correct

4)incorrect

Explanation:

1) A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts a nonbonding pair of electrons.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton H⁺

Since the donation of a proton involves the acceptance of a pair of electrons, every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid.

2)A Lewis acid not necessarily needs to have a proton to be donated.

3) Conjugated acids of weak bases are strong acids and conjugated acids of strong bases are weak acids.

4)K⁺ comes from a strong base, therefore is does not have an acidic behaviour.

A circle has a radius of 5 feet and a central angle AOB that measures 10°. What is the length of the intercepted arc AB? Use 3.1
algol [13]
We are asked to solve for the arc length of the intercepted arc and the formula is shown below:
Arc length = 2*pi*r(central angle/360°)
r = 5 feet
central angle = 10°

Solving for the arc length, we have:
Arc length = 2*3.14*5 (10/360)
Arc length = 0.872 feet

The arc length is 0.872 feet.
