Answer:

A cation has more protons than electrons, consequently giving it a net positive charge.

Answer:

A cation has more protons than electrons, making it a net positive charge as a result. One or two electrons must be lost in order for a cation to form, normally dragged away by atoms with a greater affinity for them The battery pumps electrons away from the anode and into the cathode . The positive anode draws anions to it while the adverse cathode draws cations to it.

Answer:

Mass percentage of NH₄Cl = 3.54%

Mass percentage of K₂CO₃ = 1.01%

Explanation:

If a 200.0 mL aliquot produced 0.105 g of KB(C₆H₅)₄, then a 100.0 mL aliquot would produce 1/2 * 0.105 g = 0.0525 g of KB(C₆H₅)₄.

Therefore, mass of NH₄B(C₆H₅)₄ in the 100.0 ml aliquot = (0.277 - 0.0525)g = 0.2245 g

Number of moles of NH₄B(C₆H₅)₄ in 0.2245 g = 0.2245 g/ 337.27 g/mol = 0.0006656 moles

In 500 ml solution, number of moles present = 0.0006656 * 500/100 = 0.003328 moles.

From equation of the reaction; mole ratio of NH₄⁺ and NH₄B(C₆H₅)₄ = 1:1

Similarly, mole ratio of NH₄⁺ and NH₄Cl = 1:1

Therefore, moles of NH₄Cl in 500 ml sample = 0.003328 moles

Mass of NH₄Cl = 0.003328 mol * 53.492 g/mol = 0.178 g

Mass percentage of NH₄Cl = (0.178/5.025) * 100% = 3.54%

Number of moles of KB(C₆H₅)₄ in 0.105 g (precipitated from 200.0 ml aliquot) = 0.105 g/ 358.33 g/mol = 0.000293 moles

In 500 ml solution, number of moles present = 0.000293 * 500/200 = 0.0007326 moles.

From equation of the reaction; mole ratio of K⁺ and KB(C₆H₅)₄ = 1:1

Similarly, mole ratio of K⁺ and K₂CO₃ = 2:1

Therefore, moles of K₂CO₃ in 500 ml sample = 0.0007326/2 moles = 0.0003663 moles

Mass of K₂CO₃ = 0.0003663 mol * 138.21 g/mol = 0.05063 g

Mass percentage of K₂CO₃ = (0.05063/5.025) * 100% = 1.01%

Using the solubility graph place the substances in order from most soluble (#1) to least soluble at 40°C. KNO3, NaClO3,KBr, NaCl

mestny [16]

Answer:

NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.

Explanation:

The attached file contains the graph with the solubility curves for the four substances, KNO₃, NaClO₃, KBr, NaCl.

To determine the solubility of each salt at a certain temperature, you read the temperature on the horizontal axis, labeled Temperature (ºC), and move upward up to intersecting the curve of the corresponding salt. Then, move horizontally up to insersceting the vertical axis, labeled Solubility (g/100g of H₂O), to read the solubility.

The higher the reading on the vertical axis, the higher the solubility.

The red vertical line that I added is at a temperature of 40ºC.

The number in blue indicate the order in which the solubility curves are intersected at that temperature:

4: NaCl: this is the lowest solubility
3: KNO₃: this is the second lowest solubility
2: KBr: this is the third lowest solubility
1: NaClO₃: this is the highest solubility.

Thus, the rank, from most soluble to least soluble is:

NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.
