Answer:
oxygen is responsible for rusting
If the element has a charge of +2 it has lost two electrons giving it an overall positive charge making it a cation. In order to find the number of electrons, take the elements atomic number and subtract two since it lost two electrons
When an ion loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion even though it does not lose protons. If there are more protons than electrons in the ion, the ion will have a positive charge.
Answer:
Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol
Explanation:
The molar mass of a compound is obtained by adding u the individual atomic masses in the compound. The unit is g/mol.
In FeSO4, we have one Fe, one S and 4 O.
The atomic masses are given as follows;
Fe = 55.845 u
S = 32.065 u
O = 15.999 u
Molar mass = ( 1 * Fe) + (1 * S) + (4 * O)
Molar mass = (1 * 55.854 ) + ( 1 * 32.065) + (4 * 15.999)
Molar mass = 151.915 g/mol
In four significant figures;
Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol
