In a chemical compound, would you expect an oxide ion to be joined with one atom of calcium or one atom of potassium? Why?

I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.

What is the mass in grams of the following measurements? 1.00 mol Al ___________ 6.02 x 10 23atoms Al ___________

omeli [17]

Answer:

Mass of 1 mole of Aluminium = Mass of 6.02 x 10 23atoms of Aluminium = 26.98 grams.

Explanation:

1 mole of any element or molecule has 6.02 x 10 23atoms or subparts.

Hence 1 mole of aluminum will also have 6.02 x 10 23atoms. Hence, it is clear that mass of 1 mole of Aluminium will be equal to 6.02 x 10 23atoms of Aluminium.

Thus,

Mass of 1 mole of Aluminium = Mass of 6.02 x 10 23atoms of Aluminium = 26.98 grams.
