Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) occurs in nature as a mineral called corundum, which is noted for its hardness and resis- tance to attack

by acids. Its density is 3.97 g cm23. Calculate the number of atoms of aluminum in 15.0 cm3 corundum.

Answer:

7.03×10²³ atoms of Al

Explanation:

Corundum density = 3.97g/cm³

Corundum = Al₂O₃. Then, you have 2 moles of Al and 3 moles of O in 1 mol of the compound.

Let's determine the mass of corundum, by density

Corundum density = Corundum mass / Corundum volume

3.97 g/cm³ = Corundum mass / 15cm³

3.97 g/cm³ . 15cm³ = Corundum mass →59.55 g

Now, let's find out how many moles are in that mass of corundum

1 mol of Al₂O₃ weighs 101.96 g/mol

Then, 101.96 grams of oxide have 2 moles of Al

59.55 g of oxide, will have (59.55  .2)/101.96 = 1.17 moles

Now, we can know the quantity of atoms, by this rule of three

1 mol has NA atoms (6.02×10²³)

1.17 moles will have (1.17  . NA) = 7.03×10²³ atoms of Al

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

Why are scientists worried that climate change will cause these toxic algae blooms to become more frequent?
ipn [44]

Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.

matrenka [14]
Ok we can use boyle’s law (stating that P is proportional to V) to make the equation (P1V1) =(P2V2).
once we’ve done this, we can plug in the numbers:
(800•500) = (200•V2)
and then we get that
V2= 2000 ml

hope this helps!! :)
