What is the formula for aluminum oxide

Chemistry
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: -

Al₂O₃

Explanation: -

The atomic number of aluminium Al = 13

The electronic configuration of aluminium =2,8,3

To have 8 electrons in it's valence shell, it must lose 3 electrons.

So the valency of Al is +3.

The atomic number of oxygen is 8

The electronic configuration of O oxygen = 2,6

So to have 8 electrons in it's valence shell it must gain 2 electrons.

Thus the valency of O = -2.

The formula for aluminium oxide = Al ⁺³ O²⁻

= Al₂O₃

A gas cylinder contains exactly 15 moles of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder? 4.01 × 1022 molec
Semmy [17]
The answer is 9.03 × 10²⁴<span> molecules.

</span><span>Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance.
Make the proportion.
</span><span>6.02 × 10²³ molecules per 1 mol
</span>x per 15 mol

6.02 × 10²³ molecules : 1 mol = x : 15 mol
x = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules * 15 mol * 1 mol
x = 90.3 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²³⁺¹ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²⁴ molecules
