Write a short explanation about the “cheater” way to find the # of valence electrons an element has, and explain what valence el

ectrons have to do with elements bonding?

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”.

How can you tell if both crops of crystals are your product? Why would additional solid precipitate in your filtrate?

Leto [7]

Crops of the crystals are a part of the same crystal which might have different chemical structures leading to different colors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Crops of the crystals are the parts of the crystals. And even being a part of the same crystal, the crops of the crystals can have different colors from the other crops of the crystal.

The color of crops of crystals are dictated by the chemical structure and their physical characteristic (crystalline or formless). The shape and the size of its crystalline structure, likewise the chance of polymorphism, may impact its shading.

Dissolve 30 g of sodium sulphate into 300 mL of water

Aneli [31]

Answer:

number of moles = 0.21120811

Explanation:

To find the number of moles, given the mass of the solute, we use the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n = number\:of\:moles\:(mol)}$

$\mathrm{m = mass\:of\:solute\:(g)}$

$\mathrm{M = molar\:mass\:of\:solute\:( \dfrac{ g }{ mol } )}$

Label the variables with the numbers in the problem:

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M =\:?\:Calculate\:the\:molar\:mass }$

The first thing we have to do is find the molar mass of sodium sulfate, in order for us to use the formula for finding the number of moles:

Formula for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

For the variables and what they mean are below for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$\mathrm{M =molar\:mass }$

$\mathrm{m =moles=2\:moles\:for\:Na\:,1\:mole\:for\:S,\:and\:4\:moles\:for\:O}$

$\mathrm{Na =sodium=22.99\:g }$

$\mathrm{S =sulfur=32.06\:g }$

$\mathrm{O =oxygen=16.00\:g }$

Plug the numbers into the formula, to find the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$M = 2 \left( 22.99 \right) +1 \left( 32.06 \right) +4 \left( 16.00 \right)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:2\:by\:22.99\:to\:get\:45.98\:and\:1\:by\:32.06\:to\:get\:32.06}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+4\:(16)}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:4\:by\:16\:to\:get\:64}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:45.98\:and\:32.06\:to\:get\:78.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 78.04+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:78.04\:and\:64\:to\:get\:142.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04}$

Now that we have found the molar mass, we can calculate the number of moles in the solution of sodium sulfate with the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04\:g/mol}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ 30 }{ 142.04 }}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:142.04\:by\:30\:to\:get\:0.21120811}$

$\mathrm{n = 0.21120811}$

0.21120811 rounded gives you 0.2112

or if you did the problem without decimals

30 grams of sodium sulfate divided by its molecular weight – which we found to be 142 – gives us a value of 0.2113 moles.
