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

Chemistry
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]4 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.

The total concentration of ions in a 0.75 M solution of HCl is
EastWind [94]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The total concentration of ions in a 0.75 M solution of HCl is 1.5 M

That is; 0.75 M H⁺ and 0.75 M Cl⁻

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Concentration or molarity is the number of moles of a compound or an ion contained in one liter of solution. It is measured in moles per liter (M).
  • The concentration of ions making a compound is determined by the ratio of moles of the compound and the constituents ions.
  • For instance, HCl dissociates to give H⁺ and Cl⁻

       HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

  • Therefore, since the mole ratio between HCl and the constituent ions H⁺ and Cl⁻ is 1:1, then 0.75 M of HCl dissociates to give 0.75 M H⁺ and 0.75 m Cl⁻
  • Hence the total concentration of ions in a 0.75 M solution of HCl is 1.5 M (0.75 M H⁺ and 0.75 M Cl⁻)
