explain how to determine the number of atoms, cations, and anions in ionic compounds. use an example to explain. ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Damm [24]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.

Example:

NaCl

one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.

2CaCl2

2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal

Which three statements about gravity and the formation of the solar system
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. Gravity held the pieces of forming planets together.

c. Gravity pulled most of the matter into the center of the solar system

D. Gravity caused the planets and Sun to have spherical shapes.

Explanation:

When a collection of grains pulled together by their gravitational forces would keep in by the gravity of a star, it would eventually became bigger to the point a planet was formed.

The sun's strong gravitational force pulled most of the matter around it to the center of the solar system.

The spherical shape of planets is a result of their gravity pulling equally from all sides, shaping it into a sphere.

4.45 kcal of heat was added to increase the temperature of a sample of water from 23.0 °C to 57.8 °C. Calculate
Alona [7]

Answer:

m = 4450 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Amount of heat added = 4.45 Kcal ( 4.45 kcal ×1000 cal/ 1kcal = 4450 cal)

Initial temperature = 23.0°C

Final temperature = 57.8°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 1 cal/g.°C

Mass of water in gram = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 57.8°C - 23.0°C

ΔT = 34.8°C

4450 cal = m × 1 cal/g.°C × 34.8°C

m = 4450 cal / 1 cal/g

m = 4450 g
