Answer:

Explanation:

For sodium to bond with chlorine, it is through electrovalent bonding.

It means , one electron is transferred from the sodium to the chlorine.

Normally, chlorine has 17 electrons, by adding one , we get 18 electrons.

This is the number of electrons for Argon

A chemist must prepare 300.0mL of nitric acid solution with a pH of 0.70 at 25°C. He will do this in three steps: Fill a 300.0mL

d1i1m1o1n [39]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

We are given:

pH = 0.70

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.70=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{-0.70}=0.199M$

1 mole of nitric acid produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of nitrate ions.

Molarity of nitric acid = 0.199 M

To calculate the volume of the concentrated solution, we use the equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of the concentrated nitric acid solution

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of diluted nitric acid solution

We are given:

$M_1=7.0M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=0.199M\\V_2=350mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$7.0\times V_1=0.199\times 350.0\\\\V_1=\frac{0.199\times 350}{7.0}=9.95mL$

Hence, the volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL

Using the “rule of 8” explain why carbon is the backbone of organic molecules

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons (electrons that are used in bonding), and therefore it can make 4 bonds which is the most one can (other than some exceptions, but in general it is the most). It wants to make 4 bonds so it can reach a full octet of 8 elections, hence the rule of 8.

How many moles of ions would you expect in an aqueous solution containing one mole of chromium(III) chloride? Hint: write out th

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Four

Explanation:

AlCl₃(aq) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq)

One mole of AlCl₃ produces 1 mol of Al³⁺ and 3 mol of Cl⁻.

That's four moles of ions.

Consider this reaction:

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

Explanation :

Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given chemical reaction is:

$Mg(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+H_2(g)$

In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in $Mg(OH)_2$ is (+2).

Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).
