What is the total number of electrons in the valence shell of an atom of aluminum in the ground state?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Gnoma [55]3 years ago

Answer:

C. 3

Explanation:

If you look at aluminum (Al) in the Periodic Table of the Elements, you will see that its electron configuration is 2-8-3.  The last number indicates the valence shell, which contains three electrons.

The answer is (3) 3. The outer shell of an atom is called valence shell. And the ground state is the lowest energy state of an atom. Aluminum has a electron distribution of 2, 8, 3. So the outer shell has 3 electrons.

A car battery produces electrical energy with the following chemical reaction. Pb + PbO2 + 2H2SO4 es001-1.jpg; 2PbSO4 + 2H2O Wha
rodikova [14]
The  mole  ratio of PbO2 to   water  in

Pb + PbO2 +2 H2SO4  = 2PbSO4 + 2H2O  is

            1 :2

1  mole of Pb reacted  with 1  mole  of PbO2    and 2  moles of H2SO4 to form 2 moles of PbSO4 and 2  moles of  H2O

therefore  the mole ratio  of Pbo2 to H2O is  1:2

4-hydroxypentanal reacts with one equivalent of methanol to form a cyclic acetal.
quester [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation is given as:

CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O

This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:

Step 1:

Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps

Step 2:

Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)

Step 3:

As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.

The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.

Step 4:

An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.

Step 5:

Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.

Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below

Which of the following concerning the effects of temperature and pressure on solubility is/are correct?
just olya [345]

Answer:

None of the options are correct.

Explanation:

1) when the temperature of the solution is increased the solubility of the gas in the liquid decreases , hence option 1 is incorrect.

2)The heat released by the dissolution of an ionic compound in water is heat of hydration of the compound and is independent of the initial temperature of the solution.

3) The solubility of a liquid in water is not affected significantly by the pressure changes in the system as gases only have a significant cahne in solubility with change in pressure.

Ethylene glycol is used as an antifreeze in car. if 400 g of ethylene glycol is added to 4.00 kg of water, what is the molaity?
Illusion [34]
Data:

solute: ethylene glicol => not ionization

molar mass of ethylene glicol (from internet)  = 62.07 g/mol

solute  = 400 g

solvent = water = 4.00 kg

m =?

ΔTf = ?

Kf = 1.86 °C/mol

Formulas:

m: number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

ΔTf = Kf*m

number of moles of solute = mass in grams / molar mass

Solution

number of moles of solute = 400 g / 62.07 g/mol = 6.44 moles

m = 6.44 mol / 4 kg = 1.61 m <-------- molality (answer)

ΔTf = 1.86 °C / m * 1.61 m = 2.99 °C <---- lowering if freezing point (answer)
