Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain

Chemistry

Ronch [10]2 years ago

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).

Hydrogen gas is filled in a 224 ml glass container at 0 degree celcius and 1 atmospheric pressure. What are the number of molecu

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{6.02 $\math{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}$

Explanation:

A pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 0 °C is the old definition of STP. Under these conditions, 1 mol of a gas occupies 22.4 L.

1. Calculate the moles of hydrogen.

$n = \text{0.224 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{22.4 L}} = \text{0.0100 mol}$

2. Calculate the number of molecules

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0100 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{6.022 $\times 10^{23}$ molecules}}{\text{1 mol}}\\\\= \textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}\\\\\text{The sample contains }\boxed{\textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}$

write the spontaneous net cell reaction. include physical states. net cell reaction: 2al(s) 2br {2}(l)

ElenaW [278]

The net cell reaction is: 2Al(s) + 2Br2(l) → 4Br(s) + 2Al2O3(s)

What is a net cell reaction?

A net cell reaction is the overall chemical reaction that occurs during a redox reaction in a cell. It is the sum of all of the individual chemical reactions that take place in the cell and is usually written as an equation with the reactants on the left-hand side and the products on the right-hand side.

What is a chemical reaction?

A chemical reaction is a process in which two or more substances interact to form new substances with different chemical properties. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, releasing or absorbing energy, and can be either exothermic (releasing energy) or endothermic (absorbing energy).

The cube has a mass of 72.9 g. What is its density in g/cm3? What substance is it?

sashaice [31]

If the cube is 3 cm on each side, then it has a volume of 27 cm^3 (3 x 3 x 3). Density is mass divided by volume, so its density is 72.9/27 = 2.7 g/cm^3.

Going by the density, the cube is made of Aluminium - density is a fairly unique quantity
