Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

Atomic number of beryllium is 4 and its electronic distribution is 2, 2. This means there are only two shells of electrons.

Whereas atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.  This means there are three shells of electrons.

Also there is one more valence electron in sodium as compared to beryllium.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the element X is sodium (Na).

What mass of aluminum is produced by the decomposition of 5.0 kg al2o3?
Nina [5.8K]
The  mass for  of aluminum that is produced  by  the decomposition  of  5.0 Kg Al2O3 is 2647 g or 2.647  Kg

          calculation
  Write  the equation for decomposition  of Al2O3

Al2O3 = 2Al  + 3 O2

find the  moles  of  Al2O3 =  mass/molar mass

convert  5 Kg  to g   = 5 x1000 = 5000 grams
molar mass of  Al2O3 =  27 x2 + 16 x3  = 102 g/mol

 moles =5000 g/  102 g/mol = 49.0196 moles

by use  of mole ratio between Al2O3 to  Al  which is 1:2  the moles of Al = 49.0196 x2 =98.0392  moles


mass of  Al = moles x molar  mass

= 98.0392 moles x  27g/mol = 2647  grams  or 2647/1000 = 2.647 Kg

I NEED HELP FAST!!!!! Can you tell me about the difference between physical and chemical changes??? I have a DBA in a few minute
lianna [129]
Physical changes only affect the appearance of an object. While chemical happens to the chemical make up and cannot be reversed. Think of it this way- physical change is like hair tint , it wears off- chemical is like permanent hair dye, it's permanent.
