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:
1.12M
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of solution = 2.5L
Mass of Calcium phosphate = 600g
Unknown:
Concentration = ?
Solution:
Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a particular solution.
Now, we find the number of moles of the calcium phosphate from the given mass;
Formula of calcium phosphate = Ca₃PO₄
molar mass = 3(40) + 31 + 4(16) = 215g/mol
Number of moles of Ca₃PO₄ = 
= 2.79moles
Now;
Concentration = 
Concentration = 
= 1.12M
A, I just took the quiz and that was the answer
VSEPR notation gives a general formula for classifying chemical species based on the number of electron pairs around a central atom. However, not all species have the same molecules.
For example, carbon dioxide and surfer dioxide are both species, but one is linear and another one is bent.
