The statement which is true is
metals lose electrons to become cations
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
- When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
- The positively charged ion is known as cations.
- for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)
Explanation:
attribute of a person that often cannot be measured directly but can be assessed using numbers of indicators or manifest variables
A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.
There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.
Answer:
The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
Explanation:
The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,
The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,
..[1]
..[2]
..[3]
Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:
We get :
..[1]
..[2]
[3]
The expression for enthalpy of formation of 
will be,
The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
Answer : The correct option is, (b) +115 J/mol.K
Explanation :
Formula used :
where,
= change in entropy
= change in enthalpy of vaporization = 40.5 kJ/mol
= boiling point temperature = 352 K
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol at its boiling point is +115 J/mol.K
