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.

If you know the mass of Earth, what other single value would you need to know to calculate Earth's average density?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Volume

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.  In order to find the density of earth when mass is given we have to calculate its volume. The volume of earth is calculated by using the volume formula for sphere. i.e 4/3 π r³. we also require radius to find the volume and we know that

Diameter = 2 × radius

The diameter of earth equator is 12756.75 Km. So we calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2. Then by putting the value of radius in 4/3 π r³ we will get the volume and then we can calculate the density of earth.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

In the laboratory, a volume of 100 mL of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is recorded. How many g are there of the liquid if its density is
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{183 g}}  

Explanation:

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Density} & = & \dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\\\\\rho & = &\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\1.83 \text{ g$\cdot$ cm}^{-3} & = & \dfrac{m}{\text{100 cm}^{3}}\\\\m & = & \text{183 g}\\\end{array}\\\text{There are $\large \boxed{\textbf{183 g}}$ of sulfuric acid.}

Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction below if the pressures are 1.0atm, 2.0 atm, and 1.0 atm respectively. PCl3 +
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

K = 0.5

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = P PCl₅ / P PCl₃ * P Cl₂

<em>Where P represent the pressure at the equilibrium for each one of the gases involved in the equilibrium.</em>

<em />

As:

P PCl₅ = 1.0atm

P PCl₃ = 1.0atm

P Cl₂ = 2.0atm

K = 1.0atm / 1.0atm * 2.0atm

<h3>K = 0.5</h3>
