Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
A redox reaction equation shows a gain/loss of electrons from left to right in a reaction. In a redox reaction, a specie looses electrons while another specie gains electrons.
Considering the equation; 2Al(s) + 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) -----> 3Cu(s) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq)
The oxidation state of Al reactant is zero since the oxidation state of all uncombined elements is zero. The oxidation state of All in the product is +3
The oxidation state of the copper in the reactant is +2. The oxidation state of copper in the product is zero.
The oxidation state of N in the reactant and product is +5.
The oxidation state of oxygen in the reactant and product is (-2).
This is a redox reaction because from left to right, Al was oxidized (oxidation number increased from zero to +3) while Cu was reduced (oxidation number decreased from +2 to zero).
Answer:
i) 24.305 u
iv) The number of protons determines an element's atomic number and is used to distinguish one element from another.
Answer:
First step would be convert to moles
Final Answer: 37.8 g of NaCl
Explanation:
The reaction is:
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCI
We convert the mass of each reactant to moles:
18 g . 1mol /23g = 0.783 moles of Na
23g . 1mol / 70.9g = 0.324 moles of chlorine
We use the mole ratio to determine the limiting reactant:
Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of Na react to 1 mol of chlorine
Then, 0.783 moles of Na, may react to (0.783 . 1)/2 = 0.391 moles.
Excellent!. We need 0.391 moles of Cl₂ and we only have 0.324 moles available. That's why the Cl₂ is our limiting reactant.
We use the mole ratio again, with the product side. (1:2)
1 mol of Cl₂ can produce 2 moles of NaCl
Then, our 0.324 moles of gas, may produce (0.324 . 2)/1 = 0.648 moles
Finally, we convert the moles to grams:
0.648 mol . 58.45g/mol =
Answer:
helium
Explanation:
it has 8 valence electrons which fills its outer energy level making it have a stable arrangement of electrons hence least reactive
