An atom with one valence electron combines with an atom with seven valence electrons.

1 answer:

6 0

The atom with one valence electron is likely to lose its electron to form an ion with a +1 charge.

The principle behind this is simple. Atoms wish to have a stable electronic configuration, which requires that their valence shell be complete. If an atom has only one valence electron, then in order to achieve stable configuration, it is easier for it to get rid of the electron and move back to its last completed shell instead of trying to gain 7 electrons to complete the current valence shell.

Most lakes have rivers flowing out of them, carrying water to the ocean. However, some lakes, including Great Salt Lake and the

Kaylis [27]

Since the only way of water flow to these lakes or bodies of water is through evaporation, I would expect an increase in unknown substances in the composition of the lakes due to the amount of contamination that globalization produces and affects terribly the surroundings when these unknown substances travel through evaporation as the outlet of these bodies of water. Therefore I think continuous contamination is what to expect after many more years of inflow and evaporation.

When a solution of sodium hydroxide is mixed with iron (II) chloride, a green precipitate is formed. What is the balanced equati

marshall27 [118]

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

2NaOH(aq) + FeCl₂(aq) --> 2NaCl(aq) + Fe(OH)₂(s)

<h3>What is a chemical equation? </h3>

Chemical equations are representations of chemical reactions using symbols and formula of the reactants and products.

The reactants are located on the left side while the products are located on the right side.

Reactants —> Products

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

<h3>How to write the balanced equation </h3>

Sodium hydroxide => NaOH

Iron (II) chloride => FeCl₂

2NaOH(aq) + FeCl₂(aq) --> 2NaCl(aq) + Fe(OH)₂(s)

1.2 kg of aluminum at 20oC is added to 1.5 kg of water at 80oC. After the system reaches thermal equilibrium, what is its final

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The final temperature is 71.19 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 1.2 kg = 1200 grams

Temperature of aluminium = 20.0 °C

Specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

Mass of water = 1.5 kg = 1500 grams

Temperature of water = 80.0 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the final temperature

heat gained = heat lost

Q(aluminium) = - Q(water)

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(aluminium) * c(aluminium) * ΔT(aluminium) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ with mass of aluminium = 1200 grams

⇒ with specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = T2 - 20.0 °C

⇒ with mass of water = 1500 grams

⇒ with specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = T2 - 80.0°C

1200 * 0.900 * (T2-20.0°C) = -1500 * 4.184 * (T2 - 80.0°C)

1080 * (T2 - 20.0°C) = -6276 * (T2 - 80.0°C)

1080 T2 - 21600 = -6276T2 + 502080

7356T2 = 523680

T2 = 71.19 °C

The final temperature is 71.19 °C
