The model of a “sea of electrons” helps explain ____.

Chemistry
2 answers:
TiliK225 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. Metallic bonds

Explanation:

The electron sea model is a model of metallic bonding in which cations are considered to be fixed points within a mobile 'sea' of electrons.

The electron sea model pictures the electrons on the surface of a metal being free to move from one atom to another. ... This means that in metallic bonding for the metal atom to become more stable it must release its electron density without the electrons being transferred to another atom.

Answer:

The correct answer is C.) metallic bonds

Explanation:

Metallic bonds are formed between metal compounds and are very strong. These links are explained by the "sea model of electrons", where valence electrons are ceded by each metal atom, becoming positive ions forming a three-dimensional crystalline network. These electrons move forming a network ("sea") that allows the union of the positive ions formed.

please hurry! If 3.87g of powdered aluminum oxide is placed in a container containing 5.67g of water, what is the limiting react
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g

Mass of water = 5.67g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.

Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;

         Al₂O₃  + 3H₂O  →  2Al(OH)₃  

Number of moles;

            Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

molar mass of Al₂O₃  = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole

    number of moles = \frac{3.87}{102}  = 0.04mole

   

molar mass of  H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole

    number of moles = \frac{5.67}{18}  = 0.32mole

From the reaction equation;

        1 mole of  Al₂O₃  reacted with 3 moles of H₂O

   0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O

But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.

This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant

Calculate the molarity of a solution with 233.772g sodium chloride dissolved in 2,000mL of water
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The molarity is 2M

Explanation:

First , we calculate the weight of 1 mol of NaCl:

Weight 1mol NaCl= Weight Na + Weight Cl= 23 g+ 35, 5 g= 58, 5 g/mol

58,5 g---1 mol NaCl

233,772 g--------x= (233,772 g x1 mol NaCl)/58,5 g= 4 mol NaCl

<em>A solution molar--> moles of solute in 1 L of solution:</em>

2 L-----4 mol NaCl

1L----x0( 1L x4mol NaCl)/4L =2moles NaCl---> 2 M

Please balance the equation C7H16 + CoF3 = C7F16 + HF +CoF2<br> with solutions
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

C₇H₁₆ + 32CoF₃ —> C₇F₁₆ + 16HF + 32CoF₂

Explanation:

C₇H₁₆ + CoF₃ —> C₇F₁₆ + HF + CoF₂

The above equation can be balance as illustrated below:

C₇H₁₆ + CoF₃ —> C₇F₁₆ + HF + CoF₂

There are 16 atoms of H on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 16 before HF as shown below:

C₇H₁₆ + CoF₃ —> C₇F₁₆ + 16HF + CoF₂

There are 3 atoms of F on the left side and a total of 34 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 32 before CoF₃ and 32 before CoF₂ as shown below:

C₇H₁₆ + 32CoF₃ —> C₇F₁₆ + 16HF + 32CoF₂

Now, the equation is balanced.

What is a redox reaction?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A reaction in which the oxidation state of one element increases and another decreases

Explanation:

Redox reaction means both oxidation and reduction take place in that reaction.

So when an element oxides its oxidation state increases and when an element reduces its oxidation state decrease.
