What is the mass ratio of aluminum to oxygen in aluminum oxide, Al2O3?

Chemistry

Answer:

9 : 8

Explanation:

Aluminum oxide has the following formula Al₂O₃.

Next, we shall determine the mass of Al and O₂ in Al₂O₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Al in Al₂O₃ = 2 × 27 = 54 g

Mass of O₂ in Al₂O₃ = 3 × 16 = 48 g

Finally, we shall determine the mass ratio of Al and O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Al = 54 g

Mass of O₂ = 48 g

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 54 : 48

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 54 / 48

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 9 / 8

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 9 : 8

Therefore, the mass ratio of Al and O₂ in Al₂O₃ is 9 : 8

The rate of a chemical reaction is related to:_______
aalyn [17]

The correct answer for this question is activation energy, orientation, and frequency.

The rate of a chemical reaction is directly related to its activation energy because the higher the activation energy the lower is the rate of reaction as we know the reaction only proceed when the reactants have absorbed the enough heat energy to reach the transition state. Thus activation energy determines the rate of reaction.

The orientation of the particles is also very important as we know that the reaction between the two reactants only occur when they collide with proper orientation in time the greater the probability of the collision the greater is the rate of reaction and also the number of collisions also determines the rate of reaction.

The frequency is directly proportional to the rate of chemical reaction as the frequency of the collision increases the rate of the chemical reaction also increases.

Which two elements have the most similar chemical properties?
Sedbober [7]

atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles- protons, neutrons and electrons

from these 3 particles, electrons are responsible for participating in chemical bonds. therefore chemical properties of elements are based on the number of electrons present.

valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost energy shell that are involved in chemical bonds.

atoms with same number of valence electrons are grouped in to columns called groups.

therefore elements of the same group have same number of valence electrons, hence similar chemical properties.

from the options given

only Be and Mg belong to the same group they both belong to group 2 with 2 valence electrons

therefore Be and Mg have similar chemical properties

answer is

1) Be and Mg

When hno2 dissociates in water, which atom is dontaing electrons, allowing water to act as a lewis base?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer to this is O-atom.

Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.

A^+ + B^- \rightarrow A-B

where A^+ is the Lewis Acid and B^- is the Lewis Base and A-B is the Covalent Bond.

Reaction of dissociation of HNO2 in H_2O is given as:

HNO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_2^-

In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from HNO_2 forming a Lewis Base.
