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.
When studying atoms, scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.
Explanation:
Scientists can ignore the gravitational force because the gravitational force is considered to be negligible as compared to the other forces due to its smaller value.We all know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object which result in a small force value.When the value of this small force is compared to the value of the electrical force between protons and electrons in atoms the we can say that the electrical force is million times stronger than the gravitational force
Thus we can say that scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.
I am pretty sure that <span>If I were asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, the statement which would best defined a gas is </span>highest energy, highest molecular motion, and least dense packaging of molecules. I choose this one because it's not sensible to <span>heat CO2 (in case of safety) and in the last option the amount of energy is not satisfying.
Hope it helps!</span>
Answer:
5 moles of Fe
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
2 Al(s) + Fe 2O 3(s) --> 2Fe (s) + Al 2O 3 (s)
Now;
1 mole of Fe2O3 require 2 moles of Al
3 moles of Fe2O3 requires 3 × 2/1 = 6 moles of Al
Hence Al is the limiting reactant.
If 2 moles of Al yields 2 moles of Fe
5 moles of Al yields 5 × 2/2 = 5 moles of Fe
Answer:
Alkanes
Explanation:
Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds between the parent chain carbons.
Alkenes are hydrocarbons containing at least one double bond between the parent chain carbons.
Alkynes are hydrocarbons containing at least one triple bond between the parent chain carbons.
