Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which it is formed. a. cations are much small

koban [17]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (C_11H_24) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Eart

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Volume of carbon dioxide is 428.23 L.

Explanation:

Below is the chemical reaction or chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane into carbon dioxide.

$C_{11}H_{24}(l) + 17O_{2}(g) \to 11CO_{2} (g) + 12H_2O(g)$

Here, undecane is in liquid form that reacts with gaseous oxygen (combustion) and produces carbon dioxide and water as a product in the gaseous form.

The molar mass of undecane = $156.31 g/mol.$

$\text{Number of moles} = \frac{260g}{156.31g/mol} = 1.66 \ mol.$

From the equation, it can be seen that 1 mole of undecane produces 11 moles of carbon dioxide. Therefore, 1.66 mol will produce 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide.

Now find the volume of 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide when the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius and pressure is 1 atm.

$V = \frac{nRT}{P} \\$
