How many molecules are in 12 grams of methane (CH 4 )?

Chemistry

To calculate number of molecules, we first need to calculate the number of moles of methane.

Number of moles of methane = \frac{Given mass}{Molar mass of methane}

Molar mass of methane= 16.04 g/mol

Given mass of methane= 12 g

Number of moles of methane=\frac{Given mass}{Molar mass of methane}

=\frac{12}{16.04}

= 0.74 mol

Number of molecules of methane = 0.74\times 6.023 \times 10^{23}

= 4.5 × e²³

12 grams of methane is one mole. So there are N(Avogadro)=6.22 x 10^23 molecules in one mole of methane

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. How many electrons must be lost by
viva [34]

Answer:

2 electrons

E. neon

Explanation:

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. Magnesium has 12 electrons and its electron configuration is

1s² 2s² 2p6⁶ 3s²

When magnesium loses 2 electrons, it acquires the electron configuration of neon (10 electrons).

2FeCl3 ---> 2FeCl2 + Cl2
vesna_86 [32]
The correct options are as follows: 
1. In the chemical equation given above, Fe3+  IS REDUCED.
A reduction is a process in which an atom of an element gains an electron and therefore become reduced. In this type of reaction, the positive character of the atom is reduced. Looking at the equation given above, you will notice that, the positive character of Iron is reduced form +3 to +2.

2. In the reaction given above, the chlorine atom is OXIDIZED.
An oxidation is a process in which an atom loses an electron, thereby increasing its oxidation number. In this case, the positive character of the atom is increased. Looking at the chlorine atom given above, you will notice that it has a charge of -1 before and now it has change to neutral, which means that, it has given out the electron it gains earlier.

3. This type of redox reaction can not take place. This is because, in chemical reaction, the chlorine atom is always looking for another element that will donate an electron to it in order to become stable. Thus, chlorine atom easily gain electrons but it can not donate an electron to another element.<span />
