Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (Round to 2 significant figures.)

shepuryov [24]

Mass = mr x moles
Mr of CuCl2 = ( 63.5) + ( 35.5 x 2) = 134.5
2.5 = 134.5 x moles
2.5 / 134.5 = moles
Moles = 0.019 (2DP)

0.25g of Al
Mr of Al = 27
0.25 = 27 x moles
0.25/ 27 = 0.0093 moles (2sf)

Hope this helps :)

Slicing an average loaf of bread gives 13 medium thickness slices. Each slice of bread is to be coated with 0.0500 oz of mayonna

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Explanation:

Number of slices of ham = 231

Given that each sandwich has 1 slice of ham.

Then 231 slices of ham will be in :

$1\times 231 =231 sandwiches$

A single sandwich is made up of 2 bread slices , Then bread slices in 231 sandwiches will be :

$231\times 2=462$

Each bread slice is applied with 0.0500 ounce of mayonnaise.

Then 462 bread slices will have :

$462\times 0.0500 ounces=18.48 Oz$

1 bread loaf = 13 bread slices

Then breads loves in 462 bread slices :

$\frac{462}{13}=35.54\approx 36$

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.
