Most likely b,c or d sorry but idk I’m just helping other people answer by eliminating one answer
Atoms are like the letters of the alphabet the compounds they make are like words.
Answer:
C) cation, loses, anion, gains
Explanation:
Lithium is a metal from Group 1, so it has 1 valence electron. Thus, it loses 1 electron to complete its octet and form the cation Li⁺.
Oxygen is a nonmetal from Group 16, so it has 6 valence electrons. Thus, it gains 2 electrons to complete its octet and form the anion O²⁻.
In the reaction between Li and O, there is a transfer of electrons making an ionic bond. In the bond, lithium would be a cation because it loses an electron, and oxygen would be an anion because it gains 2 electrons.
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged).
Answer: The student should obtain <u>1.103 g of aluminum oxide </u>
Explanation:
- First we write down the equations that represent the aluminum hydroxide precipitation from the reaction between the aluminum nitrate and the sodium hydroxide:
Al(NO3)3 + 3NaOH → 3NaNO3 + Al(OH)3
Now, the equation that represents the decomposition of the hydroxide to aluminum oxide by heating it.
2Al(OH)3 → Al2O3 + 3H2O
- Second, we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations.
Volumen of Al(NO3)3 = 40mL
Molar concentration of Al(NO3)3 = 0.541M
Molecular Weight Al2O3 = 101.96 g/mol
- Third, we start using the molar concentration of the aluminum nitrate and volume used to find out the total amount of moles that are reacting

then we use the molar coefficients from the equations to discover the amount of Al2O3 moles produced

finally, we use the molecular weight of the Al2O3 to calculate the final mass produced.
