Because some atoms are more stable when they gain or lose an electron and form ions.

Some atoms are more stable when they gain or lose an electron (or possibly two) and form ions. This results in a full outermost electron shell and makes them energetically more stable. Now, because the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, each ion has a net charge.

Can someone please describe what they’re seeing in this picture?

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

In the given figure, There are two atoms -

Sodium ( Na )
Chlorine ( Cl )

sodium has one electron in valence shell and to get noble gas configuration ( stability ) it need to donate the outer most electron.

whereas,

chlorine has 7 electrons in valence shell and to get noble gas configuration ( stability ) it need to get one more electron.

in this condition Na ( sodium ) donates it's outermost electron to Cl ( chlorine ) and both became stable.

but now sodium has more number of protons than the electrons hence it get positive (+) charge and chlorine has more electrons than the protons hence it get negative (-) charge

so, they get stick to each other by strong electrostatic force acting on the charged atoms and forms a salt " NaCl " ( sodium chloride ) .

i hope it helped you.....

How many moles of aluminum oxide will be formed from 17 moles of aluminum reaction?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

8.5 moles of Al₂O₃ will formed

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 17 mol

Number of moles of Al₂O₃ formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

Now we will compare the moles of Al₂O₃ with Al.

Al : Al₂O₃

4 : 2

17 : 2/4×17 = 8.5 mol

8.5 moles of Al₂O₃ will formed.

____ [38]

Answer :

(a)The molarity of KCl solution is, 0.9713 mole/L

(b)The molarity of $H_2SO_4$ solution is, 0.00525 mole/L

(c)The molarity of $Al(NO_3)_3$ solution is, 0.0612 mole/L

(d)The molarity of $CuSO_4.5H_2O$ solution is, 7.61 mole/L

(e)The molarity of $Br_2$ solution is, 0.0565 mole/L

(f)The molarity of $C_2H_5NO_2$ solution is, 0.0113 mole/L

Explanation :

(a) 1.457 mol of KCl in 1.500 L of solution

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Solute is KCl.

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{1.457mole}{1.500L}=0.9713mole/L$

The molarity of KCl solution is, 0.9713 mole/L

(b) 0.515 gram of $H_2SO_4$ , in 1.00 L of solution

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Solute is $H_2SO_4$

Molar mass of $H_2SO_4$ = 98 g/mole

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{0.515g}{98g/mole\times 1.00L}=0.00525mole/L$

The molarity of $H_2SO_4$ solution is, 0.00525 mole/L

(c) 20.54 g of $Al(NO_3)_3$ in 1575 mL of solution

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Solute is $Al(NO_3)_3$

Molar mass of $Al(NO_3)_3$ = 213 g/mole

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{20.54g\times 1000}{213g/mole\times 1575L}=0.0612mole/L$

The molarity of $Al(NO_3)_3$ solution is, 0.0612 mole/L

(d) 2.76 kg of $CuSO_4.5H_2O$ in 1.45 L of solution

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Solute is $CuSO_4.5H_2O$

Molar mass of $CuSO_4.5H_2O$ = 250 g/mole

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{2760g}{250g/mole\times 1.45L}=7.61mole/L$

The molarity of $CuSO_4.5H_2O$ solution is, 7.61 mole/L

(e) 0.005653 mol of $Br_2$ in 10.00 ml of solution

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Solute is $Br_2$ .

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{0.005653mole\times 1000}{10.00L}=0.0565mole/L$

The molarity of $Br_2$ solution is, 0.0565 mole/L

(f) 0.000889 g of glycine, $C_2H_5NO_2$ , in 1.05 mL of solution

Formula used :

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Solute is $C_2H_5NO_2$

Molar mass of $C_2H_5NO_2$ = 75 g/mole

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{0.000889g\times 1000}{75g/mole\times 1.05L}=0.0113mole/L$

The molarity of $C_2H_5NO_2$ solution is, 0.0113 mole/L
