Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
A reaction in which heat and light are produced is a combustion reaction. Combustion is said to have occurred when a substance is burnt in oxygen.
The balanced equation of the reaction is;
4Li(s) + O2(g) ------->2Li2O(s)
This reaction is exothermic because heat was produced. The reaction has a low activation energy as the metal easily burst into flames in oxygen. A catalyst is not needed in this reaction because it has a low activation energy.
According to the law of conservation of mass. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. What this means is that in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side must be the same as the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side.
Answer:
SO3
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
S = 40%
O = 59%
To obtain the empirical formula, do the following:
Divide the above by their molar mass as shown below:
S = 40/32 = 1.25
O = 59/16 = 3.69
Next, divide by the smallest as shown below:
S = 1.25/125 = 1
O = 3.69/1.25 = 3
Therefore, the empirical formula is SO3
If the train is moving from Point A to Point B, and this motion we arbitrarily deem "forward", then from the reference point of the train, she will be moving backward. From an external reference point, she will be moving in the same direction as the train, but with a lessened velocity.
