Answer:
There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.
Explanation:
Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.
<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>
Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.
Answer:
296 L
Explanation:
We will need a balanced equation with moles, so let's gather all the information in one place.
4Al + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Al₂O₃
n/mol: 17.4
1. Moles of O₂
2. Volume of O₂
You haven't given the conditions at which the volume is measured, so I assume it is at STP (0 °C and 1 bar).
At STP the molar volume of a gas is 22.71 L.
In order to balance an equation, we apply the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of an element before and after a reaction remains constant. Here, the balanced equation becomes:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
The coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.
Dimension analysis is to be used to solve this problem. First convert 1L to milliliters. That is equivalent to 1000 ml. Then by dimension analysis, multiply the volume ( 1000ml) to the density of oil (0.92 g/ml) resulting to the answer: 920 grams.
