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

otez555 [7]

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.

molecular weight of palladium(Pd)=106.4u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

Molar mass of Pd $H_{2}$ :

Pd=106.4×1=106.4u

H=1×2=2

molar mass of Pd $H_{2}$ =106.4+2=108.4

n= $\frac{216.8}{106.4}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2(Pd $H_{2}$ )

Molecular formula= $Pd_{2}H_{2}$

Therefore the molecular formula of the compound is $Pd_{2}H_{2}$

2. Given:

Molar mass=30.0g

Molecular formula= $CH_{3}$

we know;

Molecular formula = n (Empirical formula)

molecular weight of Carbon(C)=12.01u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

Molar mass of $CH_{3}$ :

C=12.01 × 1 = 12.01u

H=1 × 3 = 3u

molar mass of $CH_{3}$ =12.01 + 3 =15.01u

n= $\frac{30.0}{15.01}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2( $CH_{3}$ )

Molecular formula= $C_{2} H_{6}$

Therefore the molecular formula of the compound is $C_{2} H_{6}$

3. Given:

Molar mass=129g

Molecular formula=CHOCl

we know;

Molecular formula = n (Empirical formula)

molecular weight of Carbon(C)=12.01u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

molecular weight of oxygen(O)=16.00u

molecular weight of chlorie(Cl)=35.5u

Molar mass of CHOCl:

C=12.01 × 1 = 12.01u

H=1 × 1 = 1u

O=16.00×1=16.00u

Cl=35.5×1=35.5u

molar mass of CHOCl=12.01+1+16.00+35.5=64.5u

n= $\frac{129}{64.5}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2(CHOCl)

Molecular formula= $C_{2} H_{2} O_{2} Cl_{2}$

Therefore the molecular formula of the compound is $C_{2} H_{2} O_{2} Cl_{2}$

5. Given:

Molar mass=577g

Molecular formula= $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$

we know;

molecular weight of Carbon(C)=12.01u

molecular weight of Thallium(Tl)=204.3u

molecular weight of hydrogen(H)=1u

molecular weight of oxygen(O)=16.00u

Molar mass of $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$ :

C=12.01 × 2= 24.02u

Tl=204.3×1=204.3u

H=1×2=2u

O=16.00×3=48.00

molar mass of $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$ =204.3+24.02+1+48.00=278.32u

n= $\frac{577}{278.32}$

n=2

Molecular formula=2 ( $TlC_{2} H_{2}O_{3}$ )

Molecular formula= $Tl_{2 } C_{4} H_{4}O_{6}$

Therefore the molecular formula of the compound is $Tl_{2 } C_{4} H_{4}O_{6}$

Molecular formula=CClN

we know;

Molecular formula = n (Empirical formula)

molecular weight of Carbon(C)=12.01u

Molar mass of CClN:

C=12.01 × 1 = 12.01u

N=1×14=14U

Cl=35.5×1=35.5u

molar mass of CClN=12.01+14+35.5=61.5u

n= $\frac{184.5}{61.5}$

n=3

Molecular formula=3 (CClN)

Molecular formula= $C_{3}Cl_{3} N_{3}$

molecular weight of carbon=12.04u

molecular weight of hydrogen=1u

C=8×12.01=96.08u

H=1×8=8u

molar mass of $C_{8}H_{8}$ =96.08+8=104.08u

n=104.08÷78.0

n=1

Molecular formula = n(Empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 1( $C_{8}H_{8}$ )

Molecular formula = $C_{8}H_{8}$

Therefore the molecular formula of a compound is $C_{8}H_{8}$

7. Given:

mass of oxide of nitrogen=108g

mass of nitrogen=4.02g

mass of oxygen=11.48g

moles of nitrogen= $\frac{4.04}{14.01}$ = 0.289 moles

moles of oxygen= $\frac{11.46}{15.999}$ =0.716 moles

We divide through by the lowest molar quantity to give an empirical formula of $N_{2} O{5}$ .

Now the molecular formula is multiple of the empirical formula.

So,

108 = n × (2×14.01 + 5×15.999)

Clearly,n=1, and the molecular formula is $N_{2}O_{5}$ .
