Answer:

3 chlorine atoms are needed because each chlorine atom accepts one of  Aluminum three valence electrons to obtain a full octet and makes chlorine a  negatively charged anion

Explanation:

How many chlorine atoms are needed when making Aluminium Chloride?

The formular for aluminium chloride is given as; AlCl3

In the compound, Aluminium has a valency of +3 and the three chlorine atoms each have a valency of +1 to make the compound a neutral compound.

That meas we can represent AlCl3 as Al³⁺ and 3Cl⁻

The correct statement is;

3 chlorine atoms are needed because each chlorine atom accepts one of  Aluminum three valence electrons to obtain a full octet and makes chlorine a  negatively charged anion

One mole of a metallic oxide reacts with one mole of hydrogen to produce two moles of the pure metal
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Explanation:

Hello!  

In this case, according to the given amounts, it is possible to write down the chemical reaction as shown below:

M_2O+H_2\rightarrow 2M+H_2O  

Which means that the metallic oxide has the following formula: M₂O. Next, we can set up the following proportional factors according to the chemical reaction:

 

Thus, we perform the operations in order to obtain:

\frac{10X}{(2X+16)}=2.32  

So we solve for x as shown below:

10X=2.32(2X+16)\\\\10X=4.64X+37.12\\\\X=\frac{37.12}{10-4.64}\\\\X= 6.93g/mol  

Whose molar mass corresponds to lithium, and therefore, the metallic oxide is lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Best regards!

A reaction produced 37.5 L of oxygen gas at 307 K and 1.25 atm. How many moles of oxygen were produced? 0.538 mol, O2 1.86 mol,
zlopas [31]

Answer:

O 2  has a mass of 1.78g

Explanation:

We are at STP and that means we have to use the ideal gas law equation!

P represents pressure (could have units of atm, depending on the units of the universal gas constant)

V represents volume (must have units of liters)

n represents the number of moles

R is the universal gas constant (has units of  

L

K

)

T represents the temperature, which must be in Kelvins.

Next, list your known and unknown variables. Our only unknown is the number of moles of  

O

. Our known variables are P,V,R, and T.

Question
AnnyKZ [126]

Blank #1: Polyatomic

Blank #2: 2 (see explanation)

Blank #3: 1 (see explanation)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Both the ammonium ion \text{NH}_4^{+} and the sulfate ion \text{SO}_4^{2-} contain more than one atom in each ion. The two species are thus <em>polyatomic</em>. The chloride ion \text{Cl}^{-}, for example, is <em>monoatomic</em>.

Superscripts above formulae of the ions indicate their charge. Each ammonium ion carries a positive one (+1) charge. Each sulfate ion carries a charge of negative two (-2).

Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound. A sample of this compound contain myriads of ammonium ions and sulfate ions. The ions are packed in three-dimensional lattices. Thus unlike water, ammonium sulfate does not exist as molecules in nature.

Assuming that the second and third blanks refers to a formula unit, rather than a molecule, of ammonium sulfate. The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate gives the minimum whole-number ratio between the two ions in a sample.

Charges shall balance between the two ions. Ammonium ions are of charge +1. Sulfate ions are of charge -2. The sample shall thus contain two ammonium ions for every one sulfate ion.

The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate is therefore (\text{NH}_4)_2\text{SO}_4.

There are thus two ammonium ions \text{NH}_4^{+} and one sulfate ion \text{SO}_4^{2-} in each formula unit of ammonium sulfate.

Which electron transition represents a gain of energy
Helen [10]

Answer:

The transition from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy.

Explanation:

When transition occur from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy. Electron could not jump unto higher energy level without gaining thew energy.

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

For example electron when jumped from 2nd to 3rd shell it gain energy and when in return back to 2nd shell from 3rd shell it loses energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
