There are 118 elements in the periodic table. What is a likely estimate of the number of compounds formed by these elements?

Answer is: Far greater than 118 because elements combine in various ways.

Number of compounds is more than 30 millions.

A chemical compound is a substance composed of many identical molecules.

Element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a compound.

For example, emerald (beryl) is chemical compound (beryllium aluminium cyclosilicate) with the chemical formula Be₃Al₂(SiO₃)₆.  

Other example, molecule carbon(IV) oxide (CO₂) is made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms bonded with covalent bonds.

Element is pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule, it has definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.

The estimated number of compounds formed by the elements in the periodic table is far greater than 118 because elements can combine in various ways. Compounds are substance composed of more than one element held together by chemical bonds. Additionally, they can be converted to a different chemical composition by interaction with another compound via a chemical reaction.

What mass of hydrogen is produced from 5.71 mol of aluminum?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

3.03 g

Explanation:

The first thing to do here is figure out the chemical formula for aluminium hydroxide.

Aluminium is located in group

13

of the periodic table, and forms

3

+

cations,

Al

3

+

. The hydroxide anion,

OH

−

, carries a

1

−

charge, which means that a formula unit of aluminium hydroxide will look like this

[

Al

3

+

]

+

3

[

OH

−

]

→

Al

(

OH

)

3

Now, you can figure out the mass of hydrogen present in

1

mole of aluminium hydroxide by first determining how many moles if hydrogen you get in

1

mole of aluminium hydroxide.

Since

1

mole of aluminium hydroxide contains

3

moles of hydroxide anions, which in turn contain

1

mole of hydrogen each, you can say that you will have

1 mole Al

(

OH

)

3

→

3

a

moles OH

−

→

3

a

moles H

The problem tells you that the molar mass of hydrogen is equal to

1.01 g mol

−

1

. This means that

1

mole of hydrogen has a mass of

1.01 g

.

You can thus say that one mole of aluminium hydroxide contains

3

moles H

⋅

1.01 g

1

mole H

=

a

a

3.03 g H
