Answer:
Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).
A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).
Answer:
71.372 g or 0.7 moles
Explanation:
We are given;
- Moles of Aluminium is 1.40 mol
- Moles of Oxygen 1.35 mol
We are required to determine the theoretical yield of Aluminium oxide
The equation for the reaction between Aluminium and Oxygen is given by;
4Al(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Al₂O₃(s)
From the equation 4 moles Al reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to yield 2 moles of Aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
1.4 moles of Al will require 1.05 moles (1.4 × 3/4) of oxygen
1.35 moles of Oxygen will require 1.8 moles (1.35 × 4/3) of Aluminium
Therefore, Aluminium is the rate limiting reagent in the reaction while Oxygen is the excess reactant.
4 moles of aluminium reacts to generate 2 moles aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
Mole ratio Al : Al₂O₃ is 4 : 2
Thus;
Moles of Al₂O₃ = Moles of Al × 0.5
= 1.4 moles × 0.5
= 0.7 moles
But; 1 mole of Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol
Thus;
Theoretical mass of Al₂O₃ = 0.7 moles × 101.96 g/mol
= 71.372 g

Answer:
The electronic configuration of the magnesium atom shows that it has two unpaired outermost shell electrons while that of oxygen shows that it has six outermost shell electrons with two of them unpaired.
By means of elecron transfer, magnesium atom donates its two electrons to the oxygen atom to now have a charge of +2 while the oxygen then has a charge of -2. This results in an ionic bonding between the two atoms.
