Aluminum and oxygen react according to the following equation: 4Al(s) 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) What mass of Al2O3, in grams, can
algol [13]

Answer:

8.66 g of Al₂O₃ will be produced

Explanation:

4Al (s) + 3O₂ (g)  → 2Al₂O₃ (s)

This is the reaction.

Problem statement says, that the O₂ is in excess, so the limiting reactant is the Al. Let's determine the moles we used.

4.6 g / 26.98 g/mol = 0.170 moles

Ratio is 4:2.

4 moles of aluminum can produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃

0.170 moles of Al, may produce (0.170  .2)/ 4 = 0.085 moles

Let's convert the moles of Al₂O₃ to mass.

0.085 mol . 101.96 g/mol = 8.66 g

Which of the following are likely to form an ionic bond? silicon and oxygen oxygen and oxygen carbon and hydrogen magnesium and
Tasya [4]

Answer: The bond formed between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an atom transfer its valence electrons to another atom.

Whereas, a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms.

Silicon and oxygen forms silicon dioxide. Silicon has 4 valence electrons which are shared with each oxygen atom. Hence, silicon and oxygen forms a covalent bond.

Oxygen and oxygen shares two pairs of electrons therefore, a covalent bond is formed between oxygen and oxygen.

A covalent bond is formed between carbon and hydrogen as carbon has 4 valence electrons which are shared with four hydrogen atoms.

Magnesium has 2 valence electrons which are transferred to the oxygen atom in order to complete its octet.

Therefore, the bond formed between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond.

I need help with organic chemistry!!!
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

CHO2- ion

Explanation:

We have the lewis structure of a formate-ion here

This is CHO2-.

The carbon atom is the central atom in the structure. It's the least electronegative atom (C). Carbon has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

The carbon will bind with 1 hydrogen atom, this will form 1 single bond, because hydrogen has 1 valence electron.

The carbon will bind with oxygen via a double bond.

Since carbon has only 4 valence electrons, it can only form 1 bond with the other oxygen atom.

There will formed 1 double bond between C and O and 1 single bond between C and O resulting in a negative charged O-atom.

This means there are two resonance structures. for the CHO2-  ion

forsale [732]
Answer: B. A secondary pollutant

An acid rain is an example of a secondary pollutant because it is a chemical reaction of two gases namely, the sulfur dioxide and the nitrogen dioxide. The acid rain is not also directly emitted by the atmosphere.
