2Al + 3Cl₂ → 2AlCl₃
mol Al = 2/3 x 1.25 = 0.83
mass Al = 0.83 x 27 g/mol = 22.41 g
The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.
To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.
While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
Hi!
The question that science cannot answer is any question which is opinionated. It cannot have one true answer because it is simply subjective.
Other examples would be any question which cannot successfully follow the scientific method.
So, in the case of the question - the answer is going to be whichever question is <em>opinionated. </em>Just as a hint, not <em>everyone </em><em>thinks </em>endangered animals <em>should </em>be protected.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
Answer:
The answer to your question is 126.1°C
Explanation:
Boiling point Difference of boiling points
C₃H₈ - 42.1°C
C₄H₁₀ - 0.5°C 41.6 °C
C₅H₁₂ 36.1°C 36.6°C 41.6 - 36.6 = 5°C
C₆H₁₄ 68.7°C 32.6°C 36.6 - 32.6 =4°C
C₇H₁₆ 98.4°C 29.7°C 32.6 - 29.7 = 2.9°C
We can observe on the table that the difference of boiling points diminishes 1°C when the hydrocarbon has one more carbon, then the difference of temperature between the hydrocarbon of 8 carbons and the hydrocarbon of 7 carbons must be 2°C.
So, this difference is 29.7°C - 2°C = 27.7°C.
And the boiling point of octane is approximately 98.4 + 27.7°C = 126.1°C
