How do you know how many electrons an element will gain or lose in forming an ion?

1 answer:

7 0

First the element has to be stable. One chooses the easiest way to make the element stable. for example : Al has 13 electrons and you want to make it stable, you consider the outermost electrons where in AL the are three so it is easier for Al to lose three than to gain five

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_{18}H_{24}O_2$ .

Explanation:

Molar mass of of estradiol = M= 272.37 g/mol

Let the molecular formula of estradiol be $C_xH_yO_z$

Percentage of an element in a compound:

$\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100$

Percentage of carbon in estradiol :

$\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=79.37\%$

x = 18.0

Percentage of hydrogen in estradiol :

$\frac{y\times 1g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=8.88\%$

y = 24.2 ≈ 24

Percentage of oxygen in estradiol :

$\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=11.75\%$

z = 2

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_xH_yO_z:C_{18}H_{24}O_2$

Calculate the mass of water produced when 6.97 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen

andrew-mc [135]

The balanced reaction equation for the combustion of butane is as follows;
C₄H₁₀ + 13/2O₂ ---> 4CO₂ + 5H₂O
the limiting reactant in this reaction is C₄H₁₀ This means that all the butane moles are consumed and amount of product formed depends on the amount of C₄H₁₀ used up.
stoichiometry of C₄H₁₀ to H₂O is 1:5
mass of butane used - 6.97 g
number of moles - 6.97 g / 58 g/mol = 0.12 mol
then the number of water moles produced - 0.12 mol x 5 = 0.6 mol
Therefore mass of water produced - 0.6 mol x 18 g/mol = 10.8 g
