I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The smallest particle of a covalently bonded compound is a molecule. Molecules<span> are made up of atom s that are held together by chemical bonds. Hope this answers the question.</span>

A student carefully drops a 9.0 g solid Zn pellet initially at 50.0°C into an insulated cup containing 30.0 g of water at 27.8°C

jekas [21]

Answer: choice B

Explanation: Heat flows from high to low. After you convert the Celsius into kelvin the Zn pellet has 323K and the water has 301K which results the transfer of the heat energy of the pallet to the water. ( you don’t have to convert, but it just make it easier) hope this helped you :)

How many grams of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) will be formed from 10.0 grams of aluminum (Al)? 4 AL + 3 02 --> 2 AL203

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Mass = 18.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al₂O₃ formed = ?

Mass of Al = 10.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 10.0 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.37 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Al and Al₂O₃.

Al : Al₂O₃

4 : 2

0.37 : 2/4×0.37 = 0.185 mol

Mass of Al₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.185 mol × 101.9 g/mol

Mass = 18.9 g

Why is the answer C for this problem?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{(C) X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}$

Explanation:

Step 1. Identify the Group that contains X

We look at the consecutive ionization energies and hunt for a big jump between them

$\begin{array}{crc}n & IE_{n} & IE_{n} - IE_{n-1}\\1 & 730 & \\2 & 1450 & 720\\3 & 7700 & 6250\\4 & 10500 & 2800\\\end{array}$

We see a big jump between n = 2 and n = 3. This indicates that X has two valence electrons.

We can easily remove two electrons, but the third electron requires much more energy. That electron must be in the stable, filled, inner core.

So, X is in Group 2 and P is in Group 15.

Step 2. Identify the Compound

X can lose two valence electrons to reach a stable octet, and P can do the same by gaining three electrons.

We must have 3 X atoms for every 2 P atoms.

The formula of the compound is $\boxed{\text{X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}$}$ .
