Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Answer:
a. 0.119mol Kr
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must understand that;
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of Kr = 83.3g/mol
Ar = 40g/mol
He = 4g/mol
Ne = 20.18g/mol
a0.119 mol Kr mass = 0.119 x 83.3 = 9.9g
b 0.400 mol Ar mass = 0.4 x 40 = 16g
C 1.25 mol He mass = 1.25 x 4 = 5g
d 2.02 mol Ne mass = 2.02 x 20.18 = 40.8
Krypton is the answer
The temperature, pressure and volume of a gas are all related
A pan on the stove getting hot, because the pan is conducting the heat from the stove.
