<u>Answer:</u>

17%

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of a piece of copper calculated by student = 8.3 grams

Actual mass of copper = 10 grams

We know the formula for the percent error:

Percentage error = (| experimental value - actual value | / actual value) * 100

So substituting the given values in the above formula:

Percent error = (|8.3 - 10| / 10) * 100 = (1.7/10) * 100 = 17%

How many chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion and why??
antiseptic1488 [7]
3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.

In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).

Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.

Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.

An important reaction that takes place in a blast furnace during the production of iron is the formation of iron metal and CO2 f
ladessa [460]

Answer: Mass of Fe_2O_3 required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

For iron:

Given mass of iron = 930 kg = 930000 g  (1kg=1000g)

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{930000g}{56g/mol}=16607mol

The chemical equation for the  production of iron  follows:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron are  produced by =  1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 16607 moles of iron will be produced by = \frac{1}{2}\times 16607=8303moles of Fe_2O_3

Now, calculating the mass of Fe_2O_3 from equation 1, we get:

Mass of Fe_2O_3 = moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=8303\times 160=1328480g=1328kg

Thus mass of Fe_2O_3 required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg

Suppose Highlinium-308 can also undergo positron emission
____ [38]

Answer:

The atomic number of burienium will be 307.

Explanation:

During positron emission proton is converted into the neutron and one electron neutrino with positron is released. It means the atomic number will be reduce by one and atomic mass remain same.

For example:

²³Mg₁₂    →     ₁₁Na²³+ e⁺+ Ve

Similarly, when highlinium-308 undergoes positron emission the new element burienium is produced and the atomic number will be 307 while atomic mass remain same.

Properties of beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

<h2>The compound formed is NaCl and CaCl_{2}</h2>

Explanation:

     PART 1:

  • Atomic number of sodium is 11.
  • Sodium(Na, Z = 11, Group 1A) will lose 1 electron to become Na^{1+} which is isoelectronic to Neon (Ne ,Z = 10).
  • The symbol for the sodium ion is Na^{+}.
  • Chlorine atom (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) gains 1 elecron to be  isoelectronic to neon.
  • The symbol for the compound formed is NaCl.
  • PART 2:
  • Atomic number of calcium is 20
  • Calcium(Ca, Z = 20 ,Group 2A) will lose two electrons to become Ca^{2+}which is isoelectronic to argon.
  • The symbol for the ion is Ca^{2+}.
  • Two chlorine atoms (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) each gains one electron to be isoelectronic to argon(Z = 18)
  • The symbol for the compound formed is CaCl_{2}.
