I don’t know what the “cheater” way is, however you can easily judge how many valence electrons an element has by looking at its group number on the periodic table.

Bonding in chemistry is completely and totally due to electrons. Every element wants 8 electrons in its outer shell in order to be stable. This is what we call the “Octet Rule”.

A 1.00 g sample of a metal X (that is known to form X ions in solution) was added to 127.9 mL of 0.5000 M sulfuric acid. After a
Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 0.03340 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{0.03340L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.03340L)=0.01670mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of sulfuric acid

So, 0.01670 moles of NaOH will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.01670=0.00835mol of sulfuric acid

Excess moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00835 moles

  • Calculating the moles of sulfuric acid by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 127.9 mL = 0.1279 L    (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.1279L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.1279L)=0.06395mol

Number of moles of sulfuric acid reacted = 0.06395 - 0.00835 = 0.0556 moles

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of metal (forming M^{3+} ion) and sulfuric acid follows:

2X+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow X_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of metal

So, 0.0556 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = \frac{2}{3}\times 0.0556=0.0371mol of metal

  • To calculate the molar mass of metal for given number of moles, we use the equation:

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

Mass of metal = 1.00 g

Moles of metal = 0.0371 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0371mol=\frac{1.00g}{\text{Molar mass of metal}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of metal}=\frac{1.00g}{0.0371mol}=26.95g/mol

Hence, the metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

Indicate the direction of polarity of each of the following covalent bonds. Please just write a + or - not the bonds.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

1. C+ ---- O-

2. O+ ---- Cl-

3. O+ ----- F-

4. C+ ----- N-

5. Cl- ----- C+

6. S- ----- H+

7. S+ ----- Cl -

Explanation:

Electronegativity determines the polarity . There may be two atoms in a bond with high electronegativity, in such cases the positive charge is given to atom with comparatively lower electronegativity. Electronegativity determines the easiness with which an atom attract electrons in a chemical bond. A polar bond is formed when the difference in the electronegativity of two combining atoms is between 0.4 and 1.7. The correct direction is

1. C+ ---- O-

2. O+ ---- Cl-

3. O+ ----- F-

4. C+ ----- N-

5. Cl- ----- C+

6. S- ----- H+

7. S+ ----- Cl -
