Answer:

Yes, the chemist can determine which compound is in the sample.

Explanation:

In 1 mole of K₂O, the mass of K is 2 × 39.1 g = 78.2 g and the mass of K₂O is 94.2 g. The mass ratio of K to K₂O is 78.2 g / 94.2 g = 0.830.

In 1 mole of K₂O₂, the mass of K is 2 × 39.1 g = 78.2 g and the mass of K₂O₂ is 110.2 g. The mass ratio of K to K₂O₂ is 78.2 g / 110.2 g = 0.710.

If the chemist knows the mass of K and the mass of the sample, he or she must calculate the mass ratio of K to the sample.

  • If the ratio is 0.830, the compound is pure K₂O.
  • If the ratio is 0.710, the compound is pure K₂O₂.
  • If the ratio is not 0.830 or 0.710, the sample is a mixture.

Given the reaction for the corrosion of aluminum: 4 Al + 3 O2 --> 2 Al2O3, which half-reaction correctly represents the oxida
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Option B, Al --> Al3+ + 3e-

Explanation:

Oxidation is defined as the process of losing electron by a molecule, atom or anion  thereby acquiring oxidation state i.e the positive charge. Reduction on the other hand is the process in which an atom, ion or molecule gains electron and gains negative charge on it.  

For example – In the reaction, H2 + F2 → 2 HF, hydrogen is oxidized H2 → 2 H+ + 2 e-  as it looses electron while fluorine is being reduced F2 + 2 e- → 2 F-

This is happening in the option B

Which of the following correctly represents the third ionization of aluminum?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Energy required to remove outermost electron from an neutral atom is called ionization energy or first ionization energy (IE_1)

Energy required to remove an electron from M+ ion is called second ionization energy (IE_2).

Energy required to remove an electron from M2+ ion is called third ionization energy IE_2).

Therefore, among the given options:

Al+e^- \rightarrow Al^{+}(g),\ IE_1

Al^++e^- \rightarrow Al^{2+}(g),\ IE_2

Al^{2+}+e^- \rightarrow Al^{3+}(g),\ IE_3

Therefore, the correct option is b
