Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.

Balance the equation for magnasuin and oxygen to yield magnasuimoxide
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

2Mg + O₂  →  2MgO

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Mg + O₂  →  MgO

Balanced chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂  →  2MgO

The balanced equation s given above and it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Steps to balanced the equation:

Step 1:

Mg + O₂  →  MgO

Mg = 1         Mg = 1

O = 2           O = 1

Step 2:

2Mg + O₂  →  MgO

Mg = 2         Mg = 1

O = 2           O = 1

Step 3:

2Mg + O₂  →  2MgO

Mg = 2         Mg = 2

O = 2           O = 2

The sea water has 8.0x10^-1 cg of element strontium. Assuming that all strontium could be recovered, how many grams of strontium
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

984 grams of strontium will be recovered from 9.84x10^8 cubic meter of seawater.

Explanation:

From the question data given is :

volume of strontium in sea water= 9.84x10^8 cubic meter

(1 cubic metre = 1000000 ml)

so 9 .84x10^8 cubic meter

 \frac{9 .84x10^8}{1000000}      = 984 ml.

density of sea water = 1 gram/ml

from the formula mass of strontium can be calculated.

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

mass = density x volume

mass = 1 x 984

         = 984 grams of strontium will be recovered.

98400 centigram of strontium will be recovered.

Strontium is an alkaline earth metal and is highly reactive.
