How many chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion and why??

antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
8 0
3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.

In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).

Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.

Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.

Manganese is a transition metal. Consider the isotope: Mn-51. How many protons are in an atom of Mn-51 if the atom has a charge
GREYUIT [131]

25

There are 25 protons in an atom of Mn-51 even if the atom has a charge of +1. The proton number also defines the atomic number of an atom.

Explanation:

The proton number of the atoms of an element never change without changing the type of atom/ element. Therefore, in other words, the atomic number (which is equivalent to proton number) remains the same across all isotopes of an element. Even when the atoms lose some electrons, the proton number remains the same.

Manganese (Mn) has atomic number 25. Meaning it has 25 protons. This proton number remains the same even if the Mn atoms are charged.

What stress will shift the following equilibrium system to the left? N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)
oee [108]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Decrease in pressure

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • If the pressure of a system is increased, the reaction will shift toward the side with fewer moles of gas, whereas when the pressure of a system is decreased, the reaction will shift toward the side with more moles of gas.
  • In this case; <em><u>If the pressure of the system with the above reaction decreases, the reaction will shift to the left. The reactants side has more moles of gas, so the reaction will shift toward the direction of the reactants.</u></em>

Select the fastest way to differentiate between the organic and aqueous layers of an extraction.a. Hold a white piece of paper b
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

b. Add a few drops of one of the layers to a test tube containing 1 mL of water. Shake the test tube to determine the solubility of the layer in water

Explanation:

Option a is not true, it depends on the compound being extracted.

Option c is not true, although most of the solvents used in extractions have lower boiling point than water there are exceptions, for example toluene.

Option  d is not true. Again most of the solvents used in extractions are less dense than water, there are many exceptions, for example chloroform, so for equal volumes the chloroform layer will weigh more.

Option b. is the correct one.

One will test the  miscibility of the layer in water. If it inmiscible then one would know is the organic layer. If it is the aqueous layer then it will completely be miscible.
