Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Chemical reactions are basically divided into two major classes depending on whether the reaction lose energy or gain energy from the environment during the course of the reaction. The two classes of reaction are exothermic and endothermic reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system lose energy to the environment and thus, the energy content of the reactants is more than that of the product formed. Because of this, the enthapyl change of an exothermic reaction is always negative.
An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system absorb energy from the environment. Thus, the energy contents of the products is always higher than that of the reactants and the enthapyl change of the reaction is always positive. During the course of the reaction, the reaction container is usually cold to the touch because energy is been absorbed from the environment.
Answer:
Lithium
Explanation:
it is the only metal listed.
Balance the reaction first:
3KOH + H3PO4 —> K3PO4 + 3H2O
So for every mol of H3PO4, you need 3 mol of OH- to fully neutralize the acid, since H3PO4 is polyprotic.
0.0200 L KOH • (2.000 mol KOH / L KOH) • (1 mol H3PO4 / 3 mol KOH) = 0.0133 mol H3PO4
Divide this by the volume of H3PO4 to get the concentration.
0.0133 mol H3PO4 / 0.0250 L = 0.532 M H3PO4
