vovikov84 [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Chlorine --> 89%

Explanation:

Step 1) Add each element's amu up to get the total mass of the compound.

12.011+1.008+3(35.453) = 119.378.

Step 2) Divide the total mass of chlorine by the total mass of the compound.

3(35.453) = 106.359

106.359/119.378 = 0.8909430548.

Step 3) Now multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

0.8909430548*100 = 89.09430548%

Step 4) Estimate and submit your answer

89.09430548% estimates to 89%

Which of the following notations is the correct noble gas configuration for Li
Anettt [7]

Noble gas configuration for Li : [He]2s¹

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Lithium with atomic number 3, then the electron configuration:

1s²2s¹

And for noble gas configuration or it can be called Condensed electron configurations :

[He]2s¹

What is the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide if 3.00 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.55 mol of oxygen?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Theoretical yield of Al₂O₃: 1.50 mol.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

2 \; \text{Al} + \dfrac{3}{2} \; \text{O}_2 \to {\bf 1} \; \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3;

4 \; \text{Al} + 3 \; \text{O}_2 \to 2 \; \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 \; \textit{Balanced}.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced <em>if</em> aluminum is the limiting reactant?

Aluminum reacts to aluminum oxide at a two-to-one ratio.

3.00 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 1.50 \; \text{mol}.

As a result, 3.00 moles of aluminum will give rise to 1.50 moles of aluminum oxide.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced <em>if</em> oxygen is the limiting reactant?

Oxygen reacts to produce aluminum oxide at a three-to-two ratio.

2.55 \times \dfrac{2}{3} = 1.70 \; \text{mol}

As a result, 2.55 moles of oxygen will give rise to 1.70 moles of aluminum oxide.

How many moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced?

Aluminum is the limiting reactant. Only 1.50 moles of aluminum oxide formula units will be produced. 1.70 moles isn't feasible since aluminum would run out by the time 1.50 moles was produced.
