The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.

Solid ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, is formed by the reaction of gaseous ammonia, NH3, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. NH3(g)+HCl(g)⟶NH4
Mashutka [201]

9.41 atm is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask

<h3>What is the pressure in atmospheres?</h3>

The equation NH3(g) + HCl(g) ==> NH4Cl(s) is balanced.

Divide the moles of each reactant by its coefficient in the balanced equation, and the limiting reagent is identified as the one whose value is less. With the issue we now have...

6.44 g NH3 times 1 mol NH3/17 g equals 0.3688 moles of NH3 ( 1 = 0.3688)

HCl: 6.44 g of HCl times one mole of HCl every 36.5 g equals 0.1764 moles ( 1 = 0.1764). CONTROLLING REAGENT

NH4Cl will this reaction produce in grams

0.1764 moles of HCl multiplied by one mole of NH4Cl per mole of HCl results in 9.44 g of NH4Cl (3 sig. figs.)

the gas pressure, measured in atmospheres, that is still in the flask

NH3(g) plus HCl(g) results in NH4Cl (s)

0.3688......0.1764............0..........

Initial

-0.1764....-0.1764........+0.1764...Change

Equilibrium: 0.1924.......0...............+0.1924

There are 0.1924 moles of NH3 and no other gases in the flask. This is at a temperature of 25 °C (+273 = 298 °K) in a volume of 0.5 L. After that, we may determine the pressure by using the ideal gas law (P).

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V = 0.1924 mol, 0.0821 latm/mol, and 298 Kmol / 0.5 L

P = 9.41 atm

9.41 atm is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask

how many grams of oxygen gas are needed to produce 10.0 grams of carbon dioxide according to the balanced equation of CH4
Alinara [238K]
Molar mass of :

O2 = 16 * 2 = 32 g/mol

CO2 = 12 + 16 * 2 = 44 g/mol

<span>Balanced chemical equation :
</span>
1 CH4 + 2 O2 = 1 CO2 + 2 H2O
               ↓              ↓
             2 moles     1 mole

2* 32 g O2 ----------> 1* 44 g CO2
     x g O2 ------------> 10.0 g CO2

44 x = 2 * 32*10.0

44 x = 640

x =  \frac{640}{44}

x = 14.54 g of O2

A student is trying to calculate the density of a ball. She already knows the mass, but she needs to determine the volume as wel
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

V equals four-thirds times pi times r cubed

Explanation:

Volume = a³ , where a is length of each side. Volume = l × w × h , where l is length, w is width and h is height. Volume = 4/3 πr³ , where r is the radius. Volume = πr²h , where r is the radius and h is the height.
