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.

Neutralization reactions

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base. Products of this type of reaction is water and a salt.

46.6 grams of mercury II sulfate (HgSO4) reacts with an excess of sodium Chloride (NaCl). How many grams of mercury II chloride
slega [8]

Answer:

m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

HgSO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow HgCl_2+Na_2SO_4

In such a way, the mercury II sulfate (molar mass 296.65g/mol) is in a 1:1 molar ratio with the mercury II chloride (molar mass 271.52g/mol), for that reason the stoichiometry to find mass in grams of mercury II chloride turns out:

m_{HgCl_2}=46.6gHgSO_4*\frac{1molHgSO_4}{296.65 gHgSO_4}*\frac{1molHgCl_2}{1molHgSO_4} *\frac{271.52gHgCl_2}{1molHgCl_2} \\\\m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Best regards.
