Answer:
b) 2.0 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of Ca needed = ?
Number of moles of water present = 4.0 mol
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Ca + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂
now we will compare the moles of Ca and H₂O .
H₂O : Ca
2 : 1
4.0 : 1/2×4.0 = 2.0 mol
Thus, 2 moles of Ca are needed.
The idea here is that you need to figure out how many moles of magnesium chloride,
MgCl
2
, you need to have in the target solution, then use this value to determine what volume of the stock solution would contain this many moles.
As you know, molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute, which in your case is magnesium chloride, divided by liters of solution.
c
=

V
So, how many moles of magnesium chloride must be present in the target solution?
c

Now determine what volume of the target solution would contain this many moles of magnesium chloride
c

L

Rounded to three sig figs and expressed in mililiters, the volume will be
V
=
12.5 mL
So, to prepare your target solution, use a
12.5-mL
sample of the stock solution and add enough water to make the volume of the total solution equal to
250.0 mL
.
This is equivalent to diluting the
12.5-mL
sample of the stock solution by a dilution factor of
20
.
A stable arrangement of eight valence electrons : ³⁵Cl⁻¹
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Chlorine is a halogen gas, located in group 17, p block
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and an atomic mass of 35
Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s²3p⁵
If we look at the electron configuration, then Cl will bind 1 more electron so that the configuration is stable like Argon (atomic number 18)
So by binding this one electron, chlorine forms negative ions (anions)
³⁵Cl⁻¹
B. Cl⁻² binds 2 electrons, exceeding the octet rule
C. Cl⁺¹, releases 1 electron, remains unstable
D. Cl, the neutral form of Cl, is still unstable with a 7-electron valence configuration

Answer:
The traditional electrolyte for aluminium electrolysis is based on molten cryolite (Na3AlF6), acting as solvent for the raw material, alumina (Al2O3).Metals are found in ores combined with other elements. Electrolysis can be used to extract a more reactive metal from the ore.
Aluminum can and is used as both anodes and cathodes in electrochemical cells, but there are some peculiarities to using it as an anode in aqueous solutions. As you note, aluminum forms a passivating oxide layer quite readily, even by exposure to atmosphere. In an aqueous solution, if the potential is high enough, OH− and O2− are generated at the anode, which can then react with the aluminum to produce aluminum oxide. Al^3+ can also be generated directly. The electric field will draw the anions through the growing aluminum oxide layer towards the aluminum surface and the Al^3+ towards the solution, making the oxide layer grow both away from the electrode surface and into the surface of the electrode. In this way, coatings thicker than the normal passivation in air can be produced. However, aluminum oxide is a good electrical insulator, thus if a dense non-porous layer is grown, it will become impossible to pass current through it and growth will stop, leaving a relatively thin oxide layer (this is how the dielectric layers in electrolytic capacitors are made). This is the normal behaviour in aqueous solutions at near-neutral pH (5–7).
However, if a thick aluminum oxide layer is desired (e.g. to produce coatings on aluminum parts for dying or durability), maintaining porosity is necessary to avoid completely blocking access to the surface. One technique that is commonly used is using a low pH solution, which tends to redissolve some of the oxide and neutralize some of the formed OH−, leaving pores in the oxide layer through which the ions can travel and continue to react. These pores also give a good structure to retain dyes or lubricants, but generally need to be sealed after to protect against corrosion.
