How many atoms of chlorine are in the carbon tetrachloride molecule?

Chemistry

zaharov [31]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4 atoms of Chlorine

Explanation:

This is actually easy to explain,

First we have here a type of nomenclature. This one is the sistematic nomenclature, and begins by naming the number of atoms that one element has, beggining for the non metal first, and then the metal or the non metal acting like a metal. In this case, the Carbon is acting like a metal.

The number of atoms are named by a prefix of the number. Each number has a determined prefix. Here are some of them:

one = 1 = mono

two = 2 = bi or di

three = 3 = tri

Four = 4 = tetra

Five = 5 = penta

Six = 6 = Hexa

So tetrachloride, means that we have 4 atoms of chlorine in the molecule and the molecule is this one: CCl4

107. The lightest noble gases, such as helium and neon, are completely inert—they do not form any chemical compounds whatsoever.
dmitriy555 [2]

Explanation:

Noble gases are group O elements and their atomic structure ensures that they are stable. All their orbitals are completely filled with electrons therefore they do not undergo reactions with other elements.

  • Heavier noble gases are able to form a range of compounds due their sizes.
  • Elements form compounds by exchanging or sharing of their outermost shell electrons called the valence electron.
  • Every atom has specific energy required to remove electrons from them. The energy is known as the ionization energy.
  • In bigger atoms which have large radius, the outermost electrons have low ionization energy which makes them easy to remove.
  • The ionization energy depends on the nuclear charge, the more the charge the higher the ionization energy. Down a group the nuclear charge and ionization decreases.
  • As we go down the inert group, the ionization energy of outer shell electrons become very low. This makes the electrons available to take part in chemical reactions.

Given the equation:
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: a)  Fe is the limiting reagent

b) 3.59 g

c) 11.6g

Explanation:

4Al_2O_3+9Fe\rightarrow 3Fe_3O_4+8Al  

To calculate the moles :

   

\text{Moles of} Al_2O_3=\frac{27.5g}{102g/mol}=0.27moles

\text{Moles of} Fe=\frac{8.4g}{56g/mol}=0.15moles

According to stoichiometry :

a) 9 moles of Fe  require= 4 moles of Al_2O_3

Thus 0.15 moles of Fe will require=\frac{4}{9}\times 0.15=0.067moles  of Al

Thus Fe is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Al is the excess reagent.

b) As 9 moles of Fe give = 8 moles of Al

Thus 0.15 moles of Fe give =\frac{8}{9}\times 0.15=0.133moles  of Al

Mass of Al=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.133moles\times 27g/mol=3.59g

c) As 9 moles of Fe give = 3 moles of Fe_3O_4

Thus 0.15 moles of Fe give =\frac{3}{9}\times 0.15=0.05moles  of Fe_3O_4

Mass of Fe_3O_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0..05moles\times 231.5g/mol=11.6g

What is the similarity between a meander and a gully?
andre [41]
A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. A meander forms when moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley, and the inner part of the river has less energy and deposits silt.
