Answer: An atom that has gained an electron.

Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom cannot change except for some exceptional circumstances.

Cations (or metal ions) are formed when atoms lose electrons, as they want to form a complete outer electron shell to become as stable as possible.

For example, potassium is a 1+ ion, because it has one electron in its outer shell (and in group one). Therefore, to become more stable that electron is lost to become an ion or cation. As one electron is lost, the potassium cation charge is 1+ as the charge of an electron is 1-.

Match the events related to the formation of the universe with the stages in which they occurred
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : The chronological order events related to the formation of the universe with the stages in which they occurred are given below;

  1. Expansion from an infinitely hot point  - Which is also called as the Planck era from which the big bang theory arrived. It is assumed that from the moment of initial expansion to 10^{-43} seconds afterwards, and many also refer that it was from an infinitely hot point.
  2. Hydrogen fuses into helium  - This was called as the era of Nucleosynthesis which resulted from the Fusion and it continued in the Era of Nucleosynthesis ( which is 0.001 seconds – 3 minutes)
  3. The first neutral atom begins to form - Era of atoms, it began in around 380,000 years – 1 billion years or so.

An aqueous solution of perchloric acid is standardized by titration with a 0.191 M solution of barium hydroxide. If 13.8 mL of b
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Molarity of HClO_{4} solution is 0.311 M

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction: 2HClO_{4}+Ba(OH)_{2}\rightarrow Ba(ClO_{4})_{2}+2H_{2}O

According to balanced reaction, 1 mol of Ba(OH)_{2} neutralizes 2 moles of HClO_{4}

Number of moles of Ba(OH)_{2} in 13.8 mL of 0.191 M Ba(OH)_{2} solution = \frac{0.191}{1000}\times 13.8moles = 0.00264moles

Let's assume molarity of HClO_{4} solution is C (M) then-

Number of moles of HClO_{4} in 17.0 mL of C (M) HClO_{4} solution = \frac{C}{1000}\times 17.0moles = 0.017Cmoles

Hence, 0.017C=(2\times 0.00264)

         or, C=0.311

So, molarity of HClO_{4} solution is 0.311 M

At equilibrium, ________. At equilibrium, ________. all chemical reactions have ceased the rate constants of the forward and rev
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>At equilibrium, the rate of the forward, and the reverse reactions are equal.</em>

Explanation:

In an equilibrium chemical reaction, the rate of forward reaction, is equal to the rate of reverse reaction. Note that the reactions does not cease at equilibrium, but rather, the reactants are converted to product, at the same rate at which the product is also being converted into the reactants in the reaction. When chemical equilibrium is reached, a careful calculation of the value of equilibrium constant is approximately equal to 1.

NB: If the value of equilibrium constant is far far greater than 1, then the reaction will favors more of the forward reaction, and if far far less than 1, the reaction will favor more of the reverse reaction.
