Answer:

3 mol Cl₂/2 mol AlCl₃ (three over two)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the balanced equation"

2Al + 3Cl₂⟶ 2AlCl₃

The steps in the calculation are

mass of AlCl₃ ⟶ moles of AlCl₃⟶ moles of Cl₂ ⟶ mass of Cl₂

The critical step is the <em>conversion of moles</em>.

You multiply the moles of AlCl₃ by a <em>conversion factor</em> to get moles of Al:

Moles of AlCl₃ × conversion factor = moles of Al.

The conversion factor is <em>the molar ratio</em>, and it uses the coefficients of the formulas in the balanced equation.

It is either (2 mol AlCl₃/3 mol Cl₂) or (3 mol Cl₂/2 mol AlCl₃).

You choose the one that has the desired units of the answer in the numerator.

We choose the second option, because it has the correct units.

For example,

\text{0.2 mol AlCl}_{3} \times \frac{3\textbf{ mol Cl}_{2} }{ 2\text{ mol AlCl}_{3} } = 0.3\textbf{ mol Cl}_{2})

Notice how the units "mol AlCl₃" cancel and the correct units appear in the answer.

If we had used the other conversion factor, we would have gotten the wrong units.

Select the correct answer. Which statement best describes how chemical equations demonstrate conservation of mass? OA The number
timofeeve [1]

Answer: C. The number of atoms of each element is the same on each side of the equation.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter shows that it is not possible for matter to either be created nor for it to be destroyed so the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation must equal the number of atoms in each element on the product side of the equation.

This is why the following equation is incomplete:

H₂ + O₂ ⇒ H₂O

The oxygen atoms are not the same on either side.

Equation will therefor have to be balanced which will make it:

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O

Notice now that atoms are the same on both sides.

If you are asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, which statement best defines a gas?
Elza [17]
I am pretty sure that <span>If I were asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, the statement which would best defined a gas is </span>highest energy, highest molecular motion, and least dense packaging of molecules. I choose this one because it's not sensible to <span>heat CO2 (in case of safety) and in the last option the amount of energy is not satisfying.

Hope it helps!</span>

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
