First, determine the number of relative moles of each element we have and the molar masses of the products.
atomic mass of carbon = 12.0107
atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794
atomic mass of oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087
Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488
We have 5.27 mg of CO2, so
5.27 / 44.0087 = 0.119749 milli moles of CO2
And we have 1.23 mg of H2O, so
1.23 / 18.01488 = 0.068277 milli moles of H2O
Since there's 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule, we have
0.119749 milli moles of carbon.
Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per H2O molecules, we have
2 * 0.068277 = 0.136554 milli moles of hydrogen atoms.
Now we need to find a simple integer ratio that's close to
0.119749 / 0.136554 = 0.876937
Looking at all fractions n/m where n ranges from 1 to 10 and m ranges from 1 to 10, I find a closest match at 7/8 = 0.875 with an error of only 0.001937, the next closest match has an error over 6 times larger. So let's go with the 7/8 ratio.
The numerator in the ratio was for carbon atoms, and the denominator was for hydrogen. So the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8.</span>
The options
Select one:
a. a 3- ion forms.
b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
d. the atom gains five electrons.
Answer:
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Explanation:
Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.
The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;
1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .
At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as
2 8. The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.
The configuration of Neon has been formed in the process.
