What is the formula of the ionic compound expected to form between the elements chlorine and aluminum?

Chemistry
1 answer:
galben [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: AlCl3

Explanation:

Aluminum is in group 13 and has a valency of 3. Chlorine is in group 17 and has a valency of 1. When a compound is formed, it reflects the valencies of each of the combining elements. This can be simplified by saying that the combining elements exchange their valencies. Cl gets 3 and All gets 1 forming a compound with the formula shown above.

14.7 grams of magnesium reacts completely with 9.7 grams of oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO). What is the percent compositio
swat32
The answer is 60.3% magnesium, 39.7% oxygen.
Solution:
The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
Since magnesium reacts completely with oxygen, it is the limiting reactant in the reaction. Hence, we can use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of MgO produced:
     moles of magnesium = 14.7g / 24.305g mol-1
                                       = 0.6048 mol

     mass of MgO = 0.6048mol Mg(2 mol MgO/2mol Mg)(40.3044g MgO/1 mol MgO) 
                           = 24.376g MgO

We can now solve for the percentage of magnesium:
     % Mg = (14.7g Mg / 24.376g MgO)*100% = 60.3%

We also use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of oxygen consumed in the reaction:
     mass of O2 =  0.6048 mol Mg (1mol O2 / 2mol Mg) (31.998g / 1mol O2) 
                        = 9.676g

The percentage of oxygen is therefore
     % O2 = (9.676g O2 / 24.376g MgO)*100%
               = 39.7%
Notice that we can just subtract the magnesium's percentage from 100% to get 
     % O2 = 100% - 60.3% = 39.7%

A 2.0 M solution of LiF had 4.00 moles of LiF added to a solvent to make it.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

2 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molarity of LiF = 2 M

Mole of LiF = 4 moles

Volume =?

Molarity of a solution is simply defined as the mole per unit litre of the solution. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Molarity = mole / Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the volume of the solution as shown below:

Molarity of LiF = 2 M

Mole of LiF = 4 moles

Volume =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

2 = 4 / volume

Cross multiply

2 × volume = 4

Divide both side by 2

Volume = 4/2

Volume = 2 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 2 L.

The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when
tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

Pb^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode):  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode):  Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

E_{cell} = cell potential for the reaction = ?

[Zn^{2+}] = 3.5 M

[Pb^{2+}] = 2.0\times 10^{-4}M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}

E_{cell}=0.50V

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V
