How many electrons are transferred during the formation of one molecule of al2o3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lukranit [14]3 years ago
4 0
Answer:
            Six electrons are transferred in the formation of Al₂O₃.

Explanation:
                   Aluminium metal and Oxygen react to form Al₂O₃ as,

                                2 Al  +  3/2 O₂    →    Al₂O₃

Oxidation number of Al on left hand side is zero, while than on right hand side in Al₂O₃ is +3. Means it has lost 3 electrons per one atom and six electrons per two atoms. Also, the oxidation number of O at left hand side in O₂ is zero, while that in Al₂O₃ it is -2 per atom and -6 per 3 atoms. 

So, two Al atoms have lost 6 electrons and 3 O atoms have gained six electrons.

The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g˚C How much heat energy is absorbed when 88.0 g of water is heated from 5.8 C to 35 C? (H
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The heat absorbed is hence 10.751.21 J

Explanation:

The heat absorbed when 88g of water is heated from 5.8°C to 35 °C is;

Heat = m c ΔT

m = 88.0 g

c = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

ΔT = ( change in temperature) = ( 35 - 5.8)°C = 29.2°C

Equating these values into the formula, we obtain;

Heat = 88* 4.184 * 29.2

Heat = 10 751.2064 J

Heat = 10 751.21 J (2 d.p)

The heat absorbed is hence 10.751.21 J

In the first step of the reaction, which compound is the limiting reagent: sodium hydroxide or the nucleophile
anastassius [24]
Since the nucleophile is the actual attacking molecule or molecule that starts the reaction and allows for further steps in the mechanism to occur, it is the limiting reagent, as based on the amount of the nucleophile you have, the reaction will tend to proceed until you run out. The excess would be the sodium hydroxide, it is union part of the solution.

LenaWriter [7]

If a chemical reaction catalyzed by an enzyme is being carried out, and there is a sudden, drastic decrease in temperature, the thing that will most likely to happen next is going to be the :

“enzyme activity will decrease, and the reaction will proceed very slowly, or possibly not at all.“

Explanation:

This compliance is required to how enzymes bind to other molecules and cause chemical reactions to occur on those molecules. Lowering the temperature reduces the motion of molecules and atoms, expecting this compliance is reduced or lost. As the temperature decreases, so do enzyme activity. While higher temperatures do increase the activity of enzymes and the rate of reactions,
