Atoms of elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons. Metals have few electrons in their valence shells.
By losing those electrons, these metals achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
Nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
An example is the reaction between calcium and oxygen. Calcium is a metal and has 2 valence electrons. Oxygen is a nonmetal and has 6 valence electrons.
Calcium gives up its two valence electrons and oxygen accepts them and an ionic bond is established resulting in the formation of anew compound namely calcium oxide.
Unfortunately the data provided doesn't include the DENSITY of the ammonium chloride solution and molarity is defined as moles per volume. So without the density, the calculation of the molarity is impossible. But fortunately, there are tables available that do provide the required density and for a 20% solution by weight, the density of the solution is 1.057 g/ml.
So 1 liter of solution will mass 1057 grams and the mass of ammonium chloride will be 0.2 * 1057 g = 211.4 g. The number of moles will then be 211.4 g / 53.5 g/mol = 3.951401869 mol. Rounding to 3 significant digits gives a molarity of 3.95.
Now assuming that your teacher wants you to assume that the solution masses 1.00 g/ml, then the mass of ammonium chloride will only be 200g, and that is only (200/53.5) = 3.74 moles.
So in conclusion, the expected answer is 3.74 M, although the correct answer using missing information is 3.95 M.
An organic compound in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two different carbon atoms is a ketone. The ketones are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group (C=O) is bonded to two carbon atom. A carbonyl group is a carbon-oxygen double bond. Ketones are of great importance in industry and in biology, <span>as solvents, polymer precursors, and pharmaceuticals.</span>
Cells are too small to see with the naked eye.
It's pretty straight forward, use the cross-out method.
1) Microscopes MAGNIFY images, they don't color the cells. In fact, scientists have to use these chemicals to "stain" or color the cells to see them more easily through microscopes.
2) If the lenses of a microscope reduced the image of an organism to the size of a cell, you'd be seeing a very tiny human through your microscope, instead of actual cells.
3) Microscopes don't "trap" anything. In fact, scientists use plates or slides under microscopes to contain what they're studying.
