Answer:

Option C. Gain 1 electron

Explanation:

Valence electron(s) are the electron(s) located on the outermost shell of an atom. Valency is simply defined as the combining power of an atom.

Chlorine (Cl) atom has 7 valence electron. This implies that Cl needs just one electron to complete it's octet configuration. It will be difficult for Cl to lose any of it's valence electron(s). Cl can either gain or share 1 electron to become stable.

Thus, considering the options given in the question above, option C gives the correct answer to the question.

How many grams are in 11.9 moles of chromium?
raketka [301]

Explanation:

It is known that one mole of chromium or molar mass of chromium is 51.99 g/mol.

It is given that number of moles is 11.9 moles.

Therefore, calculate the mass of chromium in grams as follows.

     No. of moles = \frac{mass in grams}{Molar mass}

    mass in grams = No. of moles × Molar mass

                             = 11.9 moles × 51.99 g/mol

                             = 618.68 g

Thus, we can conclude that there are 618.68 g in 11.9 moles of chromium.

Consider the reaction of Mg3N2 with H2O to form Mg(OH)2 and NH3. If 4.33 g H2O is reacted with excess Mg3N2 and 6.26 g of Mg(OH)
Len [333]

Answer:

89.34%

Explanation:

First, write a balanced reaction.

Mg3N2 + <u>6</u>H2O --> <u>3</u>Mg (OH)2 + <u>2</u>NH3

Next determine the moles of the known substance, or limiting reagent ( H2O)

n= m/MM

n ( H2O) = 4.33/(1.008×2)+16

n(H2O)= 0.2403

Use the mole ratio to find the moles of Mg(OH)2

0.2403 ÷2

n (Mg (OH)2) = 0.1202

Next, find the theoretical mass of Mg (OH)2 that should have been produced

m= n × MM

m= 0.1202 × (24.305 + (16×2) +(1.008 ×2))

=7.007g

To find percentage yield, divide the experimental amount by the theoretical amount and multiply by 100.

6.26/ 7.007 × 100

=89.34%

Calculate the amount (in grams) of kcl present in 75.0 ml of 2.10 m kcl
Lera25 [3.4K]
V = 75 mL = 0,075 L = 0,075 dm³
C = 2.1M
n = ?
---------------
C = n/V
n = C×V
n = 2.1×0,075
n = 0,1575 mol
--------
mKCl: 39+35.5 = 74,5 g/mol

74,5g --------- 1 mol
Xg ------------- 0,1575 mol
X = 74,5×0,1575
X = 11,73375g KCl
