A cation will not replace an anion in a compound because the two positively-charged ions will repel each other.

<h3>Ions</h3>

Ions are atoms or group of atoms possessing an electrical charge.

  • Positively-charged ions are known as cations.
  • Negatively-charged ions are known as anions.

<h3>Ionic compounds</h3>

Ionic compounds are compounds which are composed of oppositely charged ions held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

  • From law of electrostatics, like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

If a cation replaces an anion, the compound would have two l positive charges which will repel each other.

Therefore, a cation will not replace an anion in a compound because the two positively-charged ions will repel each other.

How many moles of gas sample are 5.0 L container at 373K and 203kPa
Rom4ik [11]
For the purpose we will here use t<span>he ideal gas law:

p</span>×V=n×R×<span>T

V= </span><span>5.0 L

T= </span><span>373K

p= </span><span>203kPa
</span><span>
R is </span> universal gas constant, and its value is 8.314 J/mol×<span>K
</span>
Now when we have all necessary date we can calculate the number of moles:

n=p×V/R×T

n= 203 x 5 / 8.314 x 373 = 0.33 mole

Write a balanced net ionic equation for each of the following aqueous metathesis reactions. Classify each reaction as a neutrali
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A. This is a neutralization reaction.

Molecular equation;

HBr(aq) + CsOH(aq) ---------> CsBr(aq) + H20(l)

Complete ionic equation;

H^+(aq) + Br^-(aq) + Cs^(aq) + OH^-(aq)   --------> Cs^+(aq) + Br^- + H20(l)

Net ionic equation;

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)   -------->  H20(l)

B. This is a gas forming reaction;

H2SO4(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) ------->Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Complete ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + SO4^-(aq) + 2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)  ------->2Na^+(aq) + SO4^-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Net ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq)  -------> + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

C. This a precipitation reaction

Molecular equation;

CdCl2(aq) + Na2S(aq) ------->CdS(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Complete ionic equation;

Cd^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2Na^+(aq) + S^2-(aq) ---------> CdS(s) + 2Na^+(aq) +  2Cl^-(aq)

Net ionic equation;

Cd^2+(aq) +  S^2-(aq) ---------> CdS(s)
