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

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

What is crystal field splitting?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Crystal field splitting is the difference in energy between d orbitals of ligands. Crystal field splitting number is denoted by the capital Greek letter Δ. Crystal field splitting explains the difference in color between two similar metal-ligand complexes.

How many grams of F2 gas are there in a 5.00-L cylinder at 4.00 × 10^3 mm Hg and 23°C?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

41.17g

Explanation:

We are given the following parameters for Flourine gas(F2).

Volume = 5.00L

Pressure = 4.00× 10³mmHG

Temperature =23°c

The formula we would be applying is Ideal gas law

PV = nRT

Step 1

We find the number of moles of Flourine gas present.

T = 23°C

Converting to Kelvin

= °C + 273k

= 23°C + 273k

= 296k

V = Volume = 5.00L

R = 0.08206L.atm/mol.K

P = Pressure (in atm)

In the question, the pressure is given as 4.00 × 10³mmHg

Converting to atm(atmosphere)

1 mmHg = 0.00131579atm

4.00 × 10³ =

Cross Multiply

4.00 × 10³ × 0.00131579atm

= 5.263159 atm

The formula for number of moles =

n = PV/RT

n = 5.263159 atm × 5.00L/0.08206L.atm/mol.K × 296K

n = 1.0834112811moles

Step 2

We calculate the mass of Flourine gas

The molar mass of Flourine gas =

F2 = 19 × 2

= 38 g/mol

Mass of Flourine gas = Molar mass of Flourine gas × No of moles

Mass = 38g/mol × 1.0834112811moles

41.169628682grams

Approximately = 41.17 grams.

In redox half-reactions, a more positive standard reduction potential means I. the oxidized form has a higher affinity for elect
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The 1st and 4th options are correct

I.the oxidized form has a higher affinity for electrons

IV. the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons

Explanation:

Half reaction can be described as the oxidation or reduction reaction in a redox reaction.it is In the redox rection there is a change in the oxidation states of Chemical species involved. the oxidized form in the redox has a higher affinity for electrons and the greater the tendency for the oxidized form to accept electrons.

Standard reduction potential which is also referred to as standard cell potential can be described as the potential difference that exist between cathode and anode of the cell. In the standard reduction potential most times the species will be reduced which is usually analysed in a reduction half reaction.

(Standard Hydrogen Electrode) is utilized when determining the Standard reduction or potentials of a chemical specie. this is because of Hydrogen having zero reduction and oxidation potentials, as a result of this a measured potential of any species is compared with that of Hydrogen, the difference helps to know the potential reduction of that particular specie.
