Answer:

In nature the atoms of noble gases do not bond either with other gases or with each other. Helium exists as atoms of Helium not as diatomic molecules. Some of the larger noble gases can be made to form molecules. This does not normally happen in natural conditions.

Explanation:Noble gases are odorless, colorless, nonflammable, and monotonic gases that have low chemical reactivity. The full valence electron shells of these atoms make noble gases extremely stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds because they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons.

A student balances the following redox reaction using half-reactions.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: 6.

Explanation:

1) Aluminum

$Al^0-3e^----\ \textgreater \ Al^{3+}$

So each atom of aluminum lost 3 electrons to pass from 0 oxidation state to 3+ oxidation state.

2) Manganesium

$Mn^{2+}+2e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ Mn$

So, each ion of Mn(2+) gained 2 electrons pass from 2+ oxidation state to 0.

3) Balance

Multiply aluminum half-reaction (oxidation) by 2 and multiply manganesium half-raction (reduction) by 3:

$2Al^{0}-6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}

3Mn^{2+}+6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 3Mn^{0}$

4) Net equation

Add the two half-equations:

$2Al^{0}+3Mn^{2+}----\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}+3Mn^{0}$

As you see the left side has 2 Al, 3Mn, and 3*2 positive charges.

The right side has 2 Al, 3 Mn, and 2*3 positive charges.

So, the equation is balanced.

5) Count the number of electrons involved.

As you see 2 atoms of aluminum lost 6 electrons (3 each).

That is the answer to the question. 6 electrons will be lost.

Water combines with carbon dioxide Choose one: A. only in the atmosphere. B. to produce hydrogen sulfide. C. to precipitate calc

katovenus [111]

Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce slightly acidic groundwater

that dissolves limestone and forms caves.

This is because the reaction between water and carbondioxide to form

bicarbonate ions( HCO₃⁻). The bicarbonate ions dissociate into Hydrogen

atoms thereby increasing the acidity.

The acidic environment results in the formation of acidic groundwater that

dissolves limestone and forms caves.

The mass percent of solute in a solution containing 3.73 g KBr dissolved in 131 g of H2O is:

Elina [12.6K]

$\huge \underbrace \mathfrak \red{Answer}$

28%

Explanation:

mass of solute(KBr) = 3.73g

mass of solvent(H2O) = 131g

mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

= 3.73 + 131

= 134.73g

$\sf \large {mass \: percentage = \frac{mass \: of \: solute}{mass \: of \: solvent} \times 100} \\ \\ \sf mass \: percentage = \frac{3.73}{134.73} \times 100 \\ \\ \sf mass \: percentage = 0.028 \times 100 \\ \\ \sf mass \: percentage = 28\%$
