In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.

Chemistry
1 answer:
diamong [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂

Explanation:

Let's calculate the production of CO₂ by a single human in a day. The molar mass of glucose is 180.156 g/mol and CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ -------------------------- 6 moles of CO₂

Transforming for mass multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass:

180.156 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ ----------------- 264.06 g of CO₂

4.59x10² g ---------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

180.156x = 121203.54

x = 672.77 g of CO₂ per day per human

So, in a year, 6.50 billion of human produce:

672.77 * 365 * 6.50 billion = 1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂

9 grams of hydrogen gas (H2) will SC  Johnson need to react in order to make 1 bottle of Windex.

Explanation:

Balance equation for the formation of ammonia from H2 gas.

N2 + 3H2 ⇒ 2 NH_{3}

Given

mass of ammonia in 1 bottle of windex = 51 gram

atomic mass of ammonia 17.01 gram/mole

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

number of moles = \frac{51}{17.01}

                               = 3 moles of ammonia is formed.

in 1 bottle of windex there are 3 moles of ammonia 0r 51 grams of ammonia.

From the equation it can be found that:

3 moles of hydrogen reacted to form 2 moles of ammonia

so, x moles of hydrogen will react to form 3 moles of ammonia.

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{x}

x = 4.5 moles of hydrogen will be required.

to convert moles into gram formula used:

mass = atomic mass x number of moles  (atomic mass of H2 is 2grams/mole)

        = 2 x 4.5

        = 9 grams of hydrogen.

Which one of the following items does NOT characterize a reducing agent? a. A reducing agent loses electrons. b. A reducing agen
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.

Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.

For B, this is true as we have established this already.

C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.

D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.

A sample of pure oxalic acid (H2C2O4.2H2O) weighs 0.2000 g and requires 30.12 ml of KOH solution for
ValentinkaMS [17]

 The molarity  of KOH  is  0.1055 M

 <u><em> calculation</em></u>

Step  1: write  the  equation  for reaction between H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O  and KOH

H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O  + 2 KOH   →    K₂C₂O₄ +4 H₂O

step 2: find the moles  of H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O

moles = mass÷ molar  mass

from  periodic  table the  molar mass H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O= (1 x2) +(12 x2) +(16 x4)  + 2(18)=126 g/mol

 = 0.2000 g ÷ 126 g/mol =0.00159  moles


step 3: use the  mole  ratio  to  calculate the moles of KOH

H₂C₂O₄.2H₂O : KOH  is 1:2

therefore the  moles of KOH  =0.00159 x 2 = 0.00318  moles

step 4: find molarity of KOH

molarity = moles/volume in liters

volume in liters = 30.12/1000=0.03012 L

molarity  is therefore = 0.00318/0.03012 =0.1055 M
