<span>The outer electrons are not as tightly bound as ones closer to the nucleus</span>

Explanation:

It is known that nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge whereas neutrons have no charge.

Therefore, electrons closer to the nucleus are strongly held due to the force of attraction between opposite charges of protons and electrons.

So, as the electrons go far away from the nucleus then force of attraction between the nucleus and electrons decreases.

As a result, it becomes easier to remove valence electrons of an atom. Thus, they can be removed by friction.

Use the reaction given below to solve the problem that follows: Calculate the mass in grams of aluminum oxide produced by the re

bearhunter [10]

Answer: 28.4 g of aluminum oxide is produced by the reaction of 15.0 g of aluminum metal

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{15.0g}{27g/mol}=0.556moles$

The balanced chemical equuation is:

$4Al+3O_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3$

According to stoichiometry :

4 moles of $Al$ produce == 2 moles of $Al_2O_3$

Thus 0.556 moles of $Al$ will produce= $\frac{2}{4}\times 0.556=0.278moles$ of $Al_2O_3$

Mass of $Al_2O_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.278moles\times 102g/mol=28.4g$

Thus 28.4 g of aluminum oxide is produced by the reaction of 15.0 g of aluminum metal.
