What action would you expect an atom of Aluminum to undergo?

Chemistry
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell  

Explanation:

Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.

It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.

It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.

D. is wrong, for the same reason.

A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.

C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.

Given the thermochemical equations below, What is the standard heat of formation of CuO(s)? 2 Cu2O(s) + O2(g) ---&gt; 4 CuO(s) ∆
OlgaM077 [116]

-130KJ is the standard heat of formation of CuO.

Explanation:

The standard heat of formation or enthalpy change can be calculated by using the formula:

standard heat of formation of reaction = standard enthalpy of formation of product - sum of enthalpy of product formation

Data given:

Cu2O(s) ---> CuO(s) + Cu(s) ∆H° = 11.3 kJ

2 Cu2O(s) + O2(g) ---> 4 CuO(s) ∆H° = -287.9 kJ

CuO + Cu ⇒ Cu2O (-11.3 KJ)      ( Formation of Cu2O)

When 1 mole Cu20 undergoes combustion 1/2 moles of oxygen is consumed.

Cu20 + 1/2 02 ⇒ 2CuO (I/2 of 238.7 KJ) or 119.35 KJ

So standard heat of formation of  formation of Cu0 as:

Cu + 1/2 02 ⇒ CuO

putting the values in the equation

ΔHf = ΔH1 + ΔH2     (ΔH1 + ΔH2  enthalapy of reactants)

heat of formation = -11.3 + (-119.35)

                            = - 130.65kJ

-130.65 KJ is the heat of formation of CuO in the given reaction.

In which of the following compounds is the mass ratio of chromium to oxygen closest to 1.62 to 1.00?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A

Explanation:

Data

Mass ratio 1.62 to 1.00

Atomic mass Cr = 52 g

Atomic mass O  = 16

Process

1.- Calculate the proportion Chromium to Oxygen to each possible solutions

a) CrO₃   =   \frac{52}{16 x 3} = \frac{52}{48} = 1.08

b) CrO₂   =   \frac{52}{16 x 2} = \frac{52}{32} = 1.63

c) CrO     = \frac{52}{16} = 3.25

d) Cr₂O   =  \frac{52 x 2}{16} = \frac{104}{16} = 6.5
