Answer:

Option A. 1:1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Li => 1s² 2s¹

Cl => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²2p⁵

Lithium (Li) will form compound with Cl by losing 1 electron as shown below:

Li —> Li⁺ + e¯ ..... (1)

Cl on the other hand will accept 1 electron from Li to form the chloride ion, Cl¯ as shown below:

Cl + e¯ —> Cl¯ ...... (2)

Combining equation 1 and 2, we have:

Li + Cl + e¯ —> Li⁺ + Cl¯ +

Cancel e¯ from both side

Li + Cl —> Li⁺Cl¯

Thus, the ratio of metallic cation (+) to non-metallic anion (-) in the compound is 1:1

What is chemical reaction?​
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as distinct from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction.

Or

Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. ... A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products.

Please help me and explanation would be really awesome thank you!
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

So the answer would be 10 moles

Explanation:

1) Start with the molecular formula for water: H_{2} O!

2) If there are 10 moles of water use a mole ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen it would produce.

(This question is... interesting... since they chose an element that is diatomic in free state so It could TECHNICALLY be two answers, moles of O or moles of O_{2})

The mole ratio is 1 moles of H_{2}O to 1 moles of O. This is because the coefficient for oxygen in water is simple 1, so the ratio is 1:1.

3) that means if 10 moles of water decompose, they decompose into 10 moles of H_{2} and 10 moles of O.

Extra:

About what I was saying before about the question being slightly interesting:

10 moles of pure oxygen is produced but free state oxygen exists as O_{2} so it could possibly be 10 OR 5! However, notice it says elements. This leads me to believe the answer is 10 (monatomic oxygen) instead of 5 (free state/diatomic oxygen).

I hope this helps!
