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.

What is the best name for the molecule below? (2 points)
Levart [38]
Given:

A compound with:

Number of carbon atoms = 9
Number of double bonds = 1 
A double bond between 5th and 6th carbon
A propyl group (CH2CH2CH3) branching off the 3rd carbon from the left

Try to illustrate the given and observe the formation of the atoms. Now, follow the correct IUPAC naming system. The name of the compound is 

4-propyl-1-hexene

Count from the right to the left, the double bond is between the 1st and 2nd carbon, thus, 1-hexene. The propyl branches out the 4th carbon from the right, thus 4-propyl.

Explain how carbon is conserved in the carbon cycle.
Sonja [21]

Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The carbon cycle is the procedure where carbon goes from the surrounding into living beings and to the Earth and then again goes into the air. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it for food preparation. Creatures at that point eat the nourishment and carbon is put away in their bodies or discharged as CO2 through the breath.  
  • Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products. This is known as carbon storage.  
  • For instance, carbon, a fundamental component in natural particles, is preserved as it is moved from inorganic carbon in a biological system to natural atoms in living life forms of the biological system and back as inorganic carbon to the earth.
