Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Answer:
true
Explanation:
abiotic means nonliving and biotic means living
Answer:
The correct answer is B) electronegativities of the bonded atoms in a molecule of the compound .
Explanation:
When two atoms forming a bond differ in their electronegativities at that time bond polarity is generated
In simple words a bond will be polar when the bonding electrons are not equally shared by two atoms.As a result the atom attract the bonding electron pair towards itself gain partial negative charge and the other atom gains partial positive charge.
For HCl is a polar compound because H and Cl atom differ in their electronegativities,as a result the bonding electron pair is not shared equally by H and Cl atoms.
Temperature is a measurement of average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample which means that the sample with the highest temperature has the highest average kinetic energy of the particles.
That being said the answer would be 4) 10 mL of H2O (l) at 35 degrees Celsius since that sample has the largest temperature.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer:
D = 5.3 g/mL
Explanation:
Density = Mass over Volume
D = m/V
Step 1: Define
D = unknown
m = 16 g
v = 3.0 mL
Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate
D = 16 g / 3.0 mL
D = 5.333333333 g/mL
Step 3: Simplify
We have 2 sig figs.
5.333333333 g/mL ≈ 5.3 g/mL
