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.

How many moles of sodium carbonate contain 1.773 × 1017 carbon atoms?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

  • 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Explanation:

1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>

2) Ratio of carbon atoms:

  • The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).

Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.

This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.

3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms

  • Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol

  • number C moles  = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)

  • number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

q = 14049 J

Explanation:

q = m*c*(t2-t1)

q = 350 * 0.892 * (70-25) =

312.2 * 45 = 14049 J

I might be getting a little confused but I could be right.

Hope this helps!
