Answer:

Neutral.

Explanation:

Protons have a positive charge. In this problem there are 12.

Electrons have a negative charge. In this problem there are 12.

Neutrons have a neutral charge that isn't relevant tot the overall charge, it can be ignored.

#protons - #e- = charge

12 - 12 = 0

The protons and electrons balance each other out, resulting in a 0 net charge. This means the atom has a neutral charge.

What is the relationship between elements ,atoms ,and compounds

Svetach [21]

Elements are separate particles that contain the properties of only one type of element (pure substance) and an atom represents that element as the smallest non divisible particle that retains the properties of that element. Compounds can be formed by conjoining different atoms together in different ratios and shapes, so a combination of elements.

How many grams of propanol (C3H7OH, 60.10 g/mol) would be needed to make 750 mL of a solution with an osmotic pressure of 25 atm

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

= 46.06 grams

Explanation:

P=cRT

25 = c (0.0821)(298)

concentration = c = 1.021 M

number of moles = (1.021)(0.75) = 0.7664 moles

mass = (0.7664)(60.10)=40.06 grams

Compound X has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol and the following composition: aluminum 20.24% chlorine 79.76% Write the molecular f

N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:

$\frac{79.76 \:g}{35.45 \: g/mol}$ = 2.25 mol of chlorine

$\frac{20.24 \: g}{26.98 \: g/mol}$ = 0.750 mol of Al.

To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.

So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly $AlCl_3$ .

However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be $Al_2Cl_6$ .

Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6
