Determine the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound listed. AlF3

1 answer:

6 0

Answer is: the number of ions produced in the dissociation of aluminium fluoride is 4.

Chemical dissociation of aluminium fluoride in water:
AlF₃(aq) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3F⁻(aq).
There are four ions, one aluminium cation and three fluoride anions.
Aluminium has oxidation +3, because it lost three electrons, to have electron configuration as noble gas neon and fluorine has oxidation -1, because it gain one electron to have electron configuration as noble gas neon.

Hello!

First you need to calculate q
delta U is change in internal energy 

delta U = q + w 
q is heat and w work done 
here work was done by the system means energy leaving the system so w is negative 

delta U = q + w 

q = delta U - w = 6865 J - (-346 J) = 7211 J = 7.211 KJ 

q = m x c x delta T 

7211 J = 80.0 g x c x (225-25) °C 

c = 0.451 J /g °C

Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
