Let's divide the three experiments: The experiment with 10.00 mL of water is A), the experiment with 15.00 mL is B), and the experiment with 25.00 mL is C).
- (1) Now let's calculate the experimental density of each experiment. Density (ρ) is equal to the mass divided by the volume, thus:
- (2)To calculate the average density, we add each density and divide the result by the number of experiments (in this case 3):
- (3) The percent error is calculated by dividing the absolute value of the substraction of the theorethical and experimental values, by the theoretical value, times 100:
%error=
%error=
%error=2.44 %
They react to form salt ZnCl + hydrogen gas
Answer:
a. +2
b. +3
c. -1
Explanation:
The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.
a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.
b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.
c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.
Answer:
Explanation:
A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons to make the atoms more stable, and so they satisfy the Octet Rule (8 valence electrons).
Typically each atom contributes an electron to form an electron pair. This is a single bond. There are also double bonds (two pairs of electrons), triple bonds (three pairs of electrons), and coordinate covalent bonds.
Sometimes, to satisfy the Octet Rule and achieve stability, one atom contributes both of the electrons in an electron pair. This is different from other covalent bonds because usually each of the 2 atoms contributes an electron to make a pair.
