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

Chemistry

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.

What are the purposes of theories in science?
Leto [7]

Answer:

Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).

A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).

Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Exchange
leonid [27]

Answer:

Answer is below with the steps in order

Explanation:

4) Blood picks up carbon dioxide from the body

7) Heart pumps carbon dioxide rich blood to the lungs

8) Inhale

9) Nose traps germs in air

10) Air moves down the trachea

3) Air moves through bronchi into the bronchioles

6) Alveoli receive oxygen pass to blood

9) Oxygen passes into the blood

11) Alveoli receives carbon dioxide from the blood

12) Oxygen-rcih blood flows to the heart

3) Carbon Dioxide moves from bonchioles to bronchi

13)Carbon dioxide flows up

1) Heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body

The last <em>four of five</em> steps could be switched up a little bit since it all happens synchronously, but this is the most accurate interpretation.

9. How many grams of potassium sulfate are needed to make 250 mL of a 0.150 M
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

6.53g of K₂SO₄

Explanation:

Formula of the compound is K₂SO₄

Given parameters:

Volume of K₂SO₄ = 250mL = 250 x 10⁻³L

= 0.25L

Concentration of K₂SO₄ = 0.15M or 0. 15mol/L

Unknown:

Mass of K₂SO₄ =?

Methods:

We use the mole concept to solve this kind of problem.

>>First, we find the number of moles using the expression below:

Number of moles= concentration x volume

Solving for number of moles:

Number of moles = 0.25 x 01.5

= 0.0375mole

>>Secondly, we use the number of moles to find the mass of K₂SO₄ needed. This can be obtained using the expression below:

Mass(g) = number of moles x molar mass

Solving:

To find the molar mass of K₂SO₄, we must know the atomic mass of each element in the compound. This can be obtained using the periodic table.

For:

K = 39g

S = 32g

O = 16g

Molar mass of K₂SO₄ = (39x2) + 32 + (16x4)

= 78 +32 + 64

= 174g/mol

Using the expression:

Mass(g) = number of moles x molar mass

Mass of K₂SO₄ = 0.0375 x 174 = 6.53g

What force in liquids causes surface tension? covalent forces intermolecular forces intramolecular forces ionic forces.
artcher [175]

Answer:

Intermolecular forces

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces cause surface tension.

Source info:
"Surface tension, capillary action, and viscosity are unique properties of liquids that depend on the nature of intermolecular interactions."
