What is the transfer of electrons in Al + Cl = AlCl3

Chemistry
1 answer:
otez555 [7]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Calculate the number of moles in the following: 2.8 X 10^24 atoms of Cl2
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.65 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 2.8 × 10²⁴ atoms of Cl2

So we have

n =  \frac{2.8 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23}  }  \\  = 4.65116279069...

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.65 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which is the average kinetic energy of the individual particles of a substance?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: Temperature

Explanation: Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of particles in an object. The hotter the substance, higher is the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles. When we heat a substance, the particles that constitute the substance gain some energy and begin to move faster.
