<u>Answer:</u> The charge on the cation is +4

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of SnCl_4

It is formed by the combination of tin ions and chloride ions.

Tin is the 50th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^2

This element will loose 4 electrons to form Sn^{4+} ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^5

This element will gain 1 electron to form Cl^{-} ion

Thus, the charge on the cation is +4

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

\boxed{ \text{8.40 g}} 

Explanation:

The half-life of K-40 (1.3 billion years) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

 No. of                                 Fraction

<u>half-lives</u>      <u>    t/yr      </u>       <u>Remaining</u>  

      0               0                          1

      1                1.3  billion              ½

      2              2.6                          ¼

      3              3.9                          ⅛

We see that after 2 half-lives, ¼ of the original mass remains.

Conversely, if two half-lives have passed, the original mass must have been four times the mass we have now.

Original  mass = 4 × 2.10 g = \boxed{ \text{8.40 g}}

What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of a compound with a molecular formula of c6h15n?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

IHD = 0

Explanation:

Given that

C₆H₁₅N

Number of carbon atoms(n) = 6

Number of hydrogen atoms(x') = 15

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

There is nitrogen atoms then x = x' -1

The index of hydrogen deficiency given as

IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}

So

IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}

IHD=\dfrac{2\time 6+2-(15-1)}{2}

IHD = 0

The index of hydrogen deficiency is zero.

a student adds 3.5 moles of solute to enough water to make a 1500mL solution. what is the concentration?
aksik [14]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

MolarConcentration=\frac{3.5moles}{volume(1.5L)}=2.33molar

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since there is not information about the solute but only its mass, we need to assume that we are calculating the molar concentration of a solution or molarity. So, need to use the following formula:

MolarConcentration=\frac{mass(solute)}{volume(solution)}

Now, we know that the mass of the solute is equal  3.5 moles and the volume is equal to 1500 mL or 1.5L

Then, substituting into the equation, we have:

MolarConcentration=\frac{3.5moles}{1.5L}=2.33molar

Have a nice day!
