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 amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

Sauron [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)$

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol$ of calcium ions

Now, calculating the mass of calcium ions by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of calcium ions = 0.0033 moles

Molar mass of calcium ions = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0033mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium ions}=(0.0033mol\times 40g/mol)=0.132g$

To calculate the mass percentage of calcium ions in milk, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{\text{Mass of milk}}\times 100$

Mass of milk = 125 g

Mass of calcium ions = 0.132 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{0.132g}{125g}\times 100=0.107\%$

Hence, the mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

a 6.7 volume of air, initially at 23 degrees celsius and .98 atm, is compressed to 2.7 L while heated to 125 degrees celsius. Wh

Annette [7]

Data:

V1 = 6.7 liter
T1 = 23° = 23 + 273.15 K = 300.15 K
P1 = 0.98 atm

V2 = 2.7 liter
T2 = 125° = 125 + 273.15 K = 398.15 K
P2 = ?

Formula:

Combined law of ideal gases: P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2

=> P2 = P1 V1 T2 / (T1 V2)

P2 = 0.98 atm * 6.7 liter * 398.15 K / (300.15K * 2.7 liter)

P2 = 3.22 atm
