<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
- When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.
Answer:
Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometry problem.
- We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:
<em>2Al + 3CuCl₂ → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃.</em>
- It is clear that 2.0 moles of Al foil reacts with 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ to produce 3.0 moles of Cu metal and 2.0 moles of AlCl₃.
- Also, we need to calculate the number of moles of the reported masses of Al foil (0.50 g) and CuCl₂ (0.75 g) using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>
- The no. of moles of Al foil = mass / atomic mass = (0.50 g) / (26.98 g/mol) = 0.0185 mol.
- The no. of moles of CuCl₂ = mass / molar mass = (0.75 g) / (134.45 g/mol) = 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol.
- <em>From the stichiometry Al foil reacts with CuCl₂ with a ratio of 2:3.</em>
∴ 3.85 x 10⁻³ mol of Al foil reacts completely with 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of CuCl₂ with <em>(2:3)</em> ratio and CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant while Al foil is in excess.
- From the stichiometry 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ will produce the same no. of moles of copper metal (3.0 moles).
- So, this reaction will produce 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of copper metal.
- Finally, we can calculate the mass of copper produced using:
mass of Cu = no. of moles x Atomic mass of Cu = (5.578 x 10⁻³ mol)(63.546 g/mol) = 0.354459 g ≅ 0.36 g.
- <u><em>So, the answer is:</em></u>
<em>Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.</em>
