Answer:
to validate the law of conservation of mass as total no. of reactants must be equal to the total no. of products
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
Answer:
A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :
<u>2.67%</u>
Explanation:
Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.
<u><em>You are calculating </em></u><u><em>weight /Volume</em></u><u><em> not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute</em></u>
Here the <u>weight/weight % or percent by mass</u> of the solute is asked : So first convert the<u> VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS</u>
Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

Density = 2.11 g/mL
Volume of solution = 86.4 mL



Mass of Solute = 4.87 g
Mass of Solution = 183.2 g
w/w% of the solute =


w/w%=2.67%
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
D is the correct answer because, in aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a substance dissolved in water. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent depends of chemical composition, temperature and pressure
They are found in group 3 of the periodic table.
