. Why a chlorine atom with an atomic number of 17 will be negatively charged when its valance shell gains an electron.

Chemistry

Explanation:

When chlorine bonds and becomes stable, (had a full outer electron shell), because we know that chlorine has 7 electrons in it’s outer shell, it requires 1 to gain noble gas structure. So, when if bonds with an element and then becomes stable, the gaining of an electron means it becomes a negatively charged ion. (an ion being a charged particle.)

Select the correct identity of glacial acetic acid.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

It is pure, anhydrous acetic acid is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Glacial acetic acid contains very less water that the reason it is called anhydrous.

Glacial acetic acid is a colorless, clear liquid and corrosive.

The glacial acetic acid in the diluted form used in vegetables and food preservation,flavoring in the slice, sausage, canned fruits and also it used to treat the bacteria and fungal infections.

Calcium is present in group 2. It is alkaline earth metal.

It has two valance electrons.

Iron; Fe (Transition metal)

Iron is transition metal and also called d-block element.

Sodium: Na (Metal, main group element)

Sodium is metal and present in group one.

It has one valance electron.

Sulfur: S (non metal)

Sulfur is non metal. It is present in group 16.

It has six valance electrons.

Silicon: Si (metalloid)

Silicon is metalloid. It is present in group 14.

It has four valance electrons.

Xenon: Xe (Noble gas, gas at a room temperature)

it is noble gas. Xenon is present in group 18.

It is gas at a room temperature.

When the reaction shown is correctly balanced, the coefficients are: kclo3 → kcl + o2?

notka56 [123]

From the balanced equation 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, the coefficients are the following:
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chloride KCl
coefficient 3 in front of oxygen molecule O2

We got this balanced equation by identifying the number of atoms of each element that we have in the given equation KClO3 → KCl + O2.
Looking at the subscripts of each atom on the reactant side and on the product side, we have
KClO3 → KCl + O2
   K=1 K=1
Cl=1 Cl=1
O=3 O=2

We can see that the oxygens are not balanced. We add a coefficient 2 to the 3 oxygen atoms on the left side and another coefficient 3 to the 2 oxygen
atoms on the right side to balance the oxygens:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
The coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3 multiplied by the subscript 3 of the oxygen atoms on the left side indicates 6 oxygen atoms just as the coefficient 3 multiplied by the subscript 2 on the right side indicates 6 oxygen atoms.

The number of potassium K atoms and chloride Cl atoms have changed as well:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
   K=2 K=1
   Cl=2 Cl=1
    O=6 O=6

We now have two potassium K atoms and two chloride Cl atoms on the reactant side, so we add a coefficient 2 to the potassium chloride KCl on the product side:
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, which is our final balanced equation.
K=2 K=2
Cl=2 Cl=2
O=6 O=6
The potassium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms are now balanced.
