Explanation:

Sodium and potassium are in the same group on the periodic table because they both have similar number of valence electrons (1 electron) in their shells

Na = 2,8,1

K = 2,8,8,1

All of the alkali earth metals, Group 2, have two valence electrons. Which of these would represent the oxidation number of the

chubhunter [2.5K]

Since Group 2 alkali earth metals have 2 valence electrons, they tend to lose those 2 when forming ionic bonds. And the Loss of Electrons = Oxidation (L.E.O. for short). Therefore this group, including Mg and Ca, have an oxidation of [+2].
So the correct answer is C) +2

How many moles of aluminum oxide will be produced from 0.50 mol of oxygen? 4 al + 3 o2 2 al2o3?

LuckyWell [14K]

From the equation;
4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3
The mole ratio of Oxygen is to Aluminium hydroxide is 3:2.
Therefore; moles of Al2O3 is
(0.5/3 )× 2 = 0.333 moles
Therefore; The moles of aluminium oxide will be 0.333 moles

40 g of CaCO3 is how many moles of CaCO3? 10 moles 0.4 moles 40 moles 100 moles

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles

Explanation:

To convert between moles and grams you need the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of of CaCO3 is 100.09g/mol. You use that as the unit converter.

40gCaCO3* 1mol CaCO3/100.09gCaCO3 = 0.399640 mol CaCO3

This rounds to 0.4 moles CaCO3

Perform the following mathematical operation and express the results to the correct number of significant figures. (0.102 x 0.08

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

2.26

Explanation:

First you should know what are significant figures,

1 . All non - zero digits are significant.

2 . The zero between two non- zero are significant.Ex 302 has 3 significant figures.

3. The zero before the decimal and before any non-zero digit is non significant. Example : 0.003 has only 1 significant figure.

4. The zero after non zero are non - significant . But the zeros after the decimal point are significant.

300 has only 1 significant figure

300.0 has 4 significant figure

The least number of significant figures present in the number should be there in the final answer of the calculation.

Look at the number having minimum significant digits :

It is 3 (every number has 3- significant figures ) So the answer should also contain 3 - significant figures.

$\frac{0.102\times 0.0821\times 273}{1.01}$

First solve the numerator part

$\frac{2.285}{1.01}$

$=2.2635$

Round off this number to 3 significant figures.

Answer is = 2.26

It has 3 - significant digit since all the digits are non-zero.
