Octet, in chemistry, the eight-electron arrangement in the outer electron shell of the noble-gas atoms. This structure is held responsible for the relative inertness of the noble gases and the chemical behaviour of certain other elements.

How many moles of electrons are transferred when 2.0 moles of aluminum metal react with excess copper(II) nitrate in aqueous sol

mojhsa [17]

Moles of electrons:

The moles of electrons that are transferred are 12F

A balanced equation:

2 moles of Aluminium metal react with excess copper(II) nitrate.

$2Al + 3Cu{(NO_3)}_2 \rightarrow 2Al{(NO_3)}_3 +3 Cu$

Given:

Moles of Aluminium = 2

As Aluminium goes from 0 to +3 oxidation state

$Al \rightarrow Al^{3+} + 3e^-$

And copper goes from +2 to 0

$Cu^{2+} + 2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

On balancing the number of electrons we get:

For 1 mole of Al $6e^-$ is required.

Therefore for 2 moles of Al,

Total $(2\times6)$ F mole of electrons

Where F= Faraday's constant= 96500 C

So, 12F moles of electrons are transferred.

How do the particles in matter change when a substance becomes hotter, cools down, or changes state

Archy [21]

Colder- moves slower
warmer- moves faster
changes state:
solid to gas- warmer
gas to solid- colder
something like that
