The electron structures of boron and aluminum are similar because they share the same group, therefore they have the same amount of valence electron.

Answer:

- Both of their valence electrons are at p subshell.

- They have the first subshell full of electrons.

- Both of them have just 1 electron at the last p subshell.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we could understand their electron structures by identifying their electron configurations as shown below:

B^5\rightarrow 1s^2,2s^2,2p^1\\Al^{13}\rightarrow 1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^1

In such a way, we could notice the following similarities:

- Both of their valence electrons are at p subshell.

- They have the first subshell full of electrons.

- Both of them have just 1 electron at the last p subshell.

Best regards.

Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 9.32 g of ethane is
Pie

Answer:

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethane = 9.32 grams

Mass of oxygen = 12.0 grams

Molar mass ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen = 32.00 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles ethane

Moles ethane = mass ethane / molar mass ethane

Moles ethane = 9.32 grams / 30.07 g/mol

Moles ethane = 0.3099 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles oxygen

Moles oxygen = 12.0 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.375 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles ethane we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.375 moles)

Ethane is in excess. There will react 2/7 * 0.375 = 0.107 moles

There will remain 0.375 - 0.107 = 0.268 moles

Step 6: Calculate mass ethane

Mass ethane = moles ethane * molar mass ethane

Mass ethane = 0.268 moles * 30.07 g/mol

Mass ethane = 8.06 grams

There will remain 8.06 grams of ethane

Draw a Lewis structure for C2H3Cl . Include all hydrogen atoms and show all unshared electron pairs. None of the atoms bears a f
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since C2H3Cl is an organic compound we need a central C-C parent chain to which the three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom provides the electrons to get all the octets except for H as given on the statement.

In such a way, on the attached picture you can find the required Lewis dot structure without formal charges and with all the unshared electron pairs, considering there is a double bond binding the central carbon atoms in order to compete their octets.

Best regards!

Why does water evaperate
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

water evaporates because when h2o (water) particles heat up, they gain energy causing them to start to vibrate. this moves the oarticles further and further away from eachother and making the substance less dense, and turning it into a gas. meaning it has evaporated

As you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What two
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Weathering and erosion

Explanation:

Weathering can be explained as the breaking down of rocks/minerals on the surface of the Earth as a result of contact with biological organism, water, air and other factors

. There are 3 common types of weathering which are;

1) physical weathering

2) biological weathering

3) chemical weathering

Erosion can be regarded as a geological process, whereby earthen material are been transported away by natural forces, these forces could be wind as well as water.

Therefore, as you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What is observed are weathering and erosion processes.

After the weakening and broken up of the rock by weathering then erosion transport the bit of the rock down the mountain as you are climbing, which means the "weathering process" breakdown and the "erosion process" involves the transport or movement of the bit of the rocks
