<span>b) a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion.

</span>Because generally ions of non-metal elements (such as the halogens) are negatively charged while ions of metal elements (such as the alkali earth metals) are positively charged. The differences in their changes causes strong electrostatic attraction (an ionic bond).

If 842 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with 750.0 grams of aluminum, how many grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically

Phantasy [73]

548.55 grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically form.

Explanation:

Balanced equation for the reaction:

3 NaOH + Al ⇒ Al(OH)3 +3 Na

DATA GIVEN:

mass of NaOH = 842 grams, atomic mass =39.9 grams/mole

mass of Al = 750 grams, atomic mass = 26.9 grams/mole

aluminum hydroxide theoretical yield = ?

Moles of NaOH reacted

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

putting the values in the equation

NaOH = $\frac{842}{39.9}$

= 21.1 MOLES OF NaOH

Al = $\frac{750}{26.9}$

= 27.8 moles

from the equation

from 3 moles of NaOH 1 mole of Al(OH)3 is produced

21.1 moles of NaOH will react to give x moles of Al(OH)3

$\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{x}{21.1}$

7.03 moles of Al(OH)3 is formed.

and

1 mole of Al(OH)3 is formed from 1 mole of Al in the reaction

so, 27.8 Moles will react to give give 27.8 moles of Al(OH)3 limiting reagent of the given reaction is NaOH

mass of Al(OH)3 =7.03 x 78 (atomic mass of Al(OH)3)

= 548.55 grams

theoretical yield from the given data is 548.55 grams

List three properties of metals that are a result of metallic bonds

atroni [7]

High melting point: due to delocalized electrons
ductile: because of delocalized elections, the lattice of the metal is still held tightly even after undergoing deformation
conductivity: delocalized electrons are free to roam around the metal. So an electric potential (voltage) will create a current flow through the metal
