How does the octet rule allow you to predict the charge an ion will have?

 <span>Because of the octet rule, it is easy to predict the charge of the ion of an element. Look at the number of valence electrons the element has. If it is between 1 and 4 the atom will most likely loose those electrons to become stable, making it a positive ion with the charge of the number of electrons it will lose. If it has between 4 and 8 valence electrons the atom will most likely gain electrons to achieve a full outer ring of 8 electrons. Its atom will have a negative charge of the number of electrons it needs to have 8 total. Hope I Helped If You Don't Mind May I Have A Brainliest Answer Please? :)</span>

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers, what is the number in front of the substance in bo
weeeeeb [17]

The balanced equation :

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe

You just have to look for which element is in bold because the question is not clear

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

Reaction

Al + Fe₃O₄→ Al₂O₃ + Fe

give a coefficient

aAl + Fe₃O₄→ bAl₂O₃ + cFe

O, left=4, right=3b⇒3b=4⇒b=4/3

Al, left=a, right=2b⇒a=2b⇒a=2.4/3⇒a=8/3

Fe, left=3, right=c⇒c=3

The equation becomes :

8/3Al + Fe₃O₄→ 4/3Al₂O₃ + 3Fe x3

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe

A flask with a volume of 3.16 l contains 9.33 grams of an unknown gas at 32.0°c and 1.00 atm. What is the molar mass of the gas?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

73.88 g/mol

Explanation:

For this question we have to keep in mind that the unknown substance is a <u>gas</u>, therefore we can use the <u>ideal gas law</u>:

PV=nRT

In this case we will have:

P= 1 atm

V= 3.16 L

T = 32 ªC = 305.15 ºK

R= 0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}

n= ?

So, we can <u>solve for "n"</u> (moles):

1~atm*3.16~L~=~n*0.082~\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*305.15~K

n=\frac{1~atm*3.16~L~}{0.082~\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*305.15~K}

n=0.126~mol

Now, we have to remember that the <u>molar mass value has "g/mol"</u> units. We already have the grams (9.33 g), so we have to <u>divide</u> by the moles:

molar~mass=\frac{9.33~grams}{0.126~mol}

molar~mass=73.88\frac{grams}{mol}

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole
icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
  • Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
  • First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
  • Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
  • Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
  • Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.
