Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).

How many grams of sodium Phosphate is needed to prepare 5.0 L of a 2.6M solution ?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Molarity is the ratio of the moles and the volume. The mass of 2.6 M sodium phosphate solution is 2131.22 gms.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the product of the moles and the molar mass of the substance. It is given as,

Mass = Moles × Molar mass

The moles from molar concentration is used to calculate mass as:

Mass = Molarity × volume × molar mass

= 2.6 × 5.0 × 163.94

= 2131.22 gms

Therefore, 2131.22 gms is the mass of sodium phosphate.

Explain wether or not a reaction takes place when when bromine water is added to sodium chloride solution
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

When chlorine (as a gas or dissolved in water) is added to sodium bromide solution, the chlorine takes the place of the bromine. Because chlorine is more reactive than bromine, it displaces bromine from sodium bromide. The solution turns brown. ... The chlorine has gone to form sodium chloride.
