Yes. If this is the balanced equation:

AlCl3 + 3Na —— 3NaCl + Al

then Al was reduced from a 3+ oxidation (to neutralize the 3- from the chlorine) to a 0 oxidation (elemental ground state).

Answer : There is no change takes place in the oxidation number of Cl.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is,

AlCl_3+Na\rightarrow NaCl+Al

This reaction is an unbalanced reaction because the chlorine atoms are not balanced.

In order to balance the chemical reaction, the coefficient 3 is put before the Na and NaCl.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

AlCl_3+3Na\rightarrow 3NaCl+Al

Now we have to calculate the oxidation number of all the elements.

In AlCl_3, the oxidation number of Al and Cl are, (+3) and (-1) respectively.

The oxidation number Na and Al are, zero (0)

In NaCl, the oxidation number of Na and Cl are, (+1) and (-1) respectively.

From this we conclude that the oxidation number of Cl changes from (-1) to (-1) that means remains same.

Therefore, there is no change takes place in the oxidation number of Cl.

Describe the displacement method for measuring the volume of an object
jeyben [28]
<span>Volume is a measure of the amount of space an object takes up. When a cylinder is submerged in the water it pushes water out of the way. If you measure the amount the water level increases, you can find the volume of the water pushed out of the way. </span>

Calculate the specific heat of a substance when 63j of energy are transferred as heat to an 8.0 g sample to raise it temperature
Flura [38]

The formula for energy or enthalpy is:

E = m Cp (T2 – T1)

where E is energy = 63 J, m is mass = 8 g, Cp is the specific heat, T is temperature

 

63 J = 8 g * Cp * (340 K – 314 K)

<span>Cp = 0.3 J / g K</span>

What is the mass of a magnesium block that measures 2.00 cm
skad [1K]

Answer:

m = 31.284 grams

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimension of a magnesium block is 2.00 cm  x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm.

The density of magnesium is, d = 1.738 g/cm³

We need to find the mass of the magnesium block. We know that the density of an object is given by its mass per unit its volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\text{Where m=mass}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=1.738\ g/cm^3\times (2\times 3\times 3)\ cm^3\\\\m=31.284\ \text{grams}

So, the mass of the block is 31.284 grams.

CaBr + KOH – Ca(OH), + KBr (balance first) What mass, in grams, of
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

129.73 g of CaBr₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

CaBr₂ + 2KOH –> Ca(OH)₂ + 2KBr

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that reacted and the mass of Ca(OH)₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CaBr₂ = 40 + (80×2)

= 40 + 160

= 200 g/mol

Mass of CaBr₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 200 = 200 g

Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 40 + 2(16 + 1)

= 40 + 2(17)

= 40 + 34

= 74 g/mol

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 74 = 74 g

SUMMARY :

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that react when 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ were produced. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Therefore, Xg of CaBr₂ will react to produce 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ i.e

Xg of CaBr₂ = (200 × 48)/74

Xg of CaBr₂ = 129.73 g

Thus, 129.73 g of CaBr₂ were consumed.
