Answer: There is 1 valence electron in Al(OH)4-

Explanation:

The valence electrons are the electrons that are present in the outer shell of an atom.

In this case, the "Al" works with 3 electrons of valence, while the "OH-" has only 1 electron of valence, however we have 4 atoms of "OH-", in this case, the OH- donates a lone pair of atoms to make the covalent bonds with the "Al" but kind of weak, that is why , usually this molecule has special conditions to be formed, like high pH, where the negative state remain longer.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

There is only one valence electron in Al(OH)4- anion.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Valency is the number of electrons in the outer most shell of an atom.
In this compound, aluminium has the valency of +3. It means Al needs only 3 electrons to complete its outer most shell.
Hence the stable molecule Al(OH)3.
But the addition of one another OH- leads to the negative charge and there is one spare electron which can make bond to an atom to stable the compound.

A 59.1g sample of aluminum is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0g of water. The aluminum sample st

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment is 0.863 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 59.1 grams

Mass of water = 250.0 grams

Initial temperature of aluminium = 91.3 °C

Initial temperature of water = 16.0 °C

Final temperature = 19.5 °C

Pressure remains constant

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate specific heat of aluminium

Heat lost = heat gained

Qlost = -Q heat

Q = m*c*ΔT

heat aluminium = - heat water

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

⇒m(aluminium) = mass of aluminium = 59.1 grams

⇒c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 -T2 = 19.5 - 91.3 = -71.8 °C

⇒ m(water) = 250.0 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

⇒ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 -T2 = 19.5 - 16.0 = 3.5 °C

59.1 * c(aluminium) * -71.8 °C = 250.0 * 4.186 J/g°C * 3.5 °C

c(aluminium) = 0.863 J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of aluminum according to this experiment is 0.863 J/g°C

Determine if the equation is endothermic or exothermic examples

Fittoniya [83]

There are a couple of ways todetermine if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Endothermic meaning that heat is added to the reaction to make the reactants interact and exothermic meaning heat is released during the reaction between the two reactants.

In endothermic reactions you can find a triangle above the arrow.

O que é VAPORIZAÇÃO, CONDENSAÇÃO, SUBLIMAÇÃO, FUSÃO, SOLIDIFICAÇÃO

ipn [44]

Answer:

Fusão: a substância volta do sólido para o líquido. Condensação: a substância muda de um gás para um líquido. Vaporização: a substância muda de líquido para gás. Sublimação: a substância muda diretamente de um sólido para um gás sem passar pela fase líquida.
