Why do most elements occur in a compound form rather than in free elemental state​

Cryolite, na3alf6(s), an ore used in the production of aluminum, can be synthesized using aluminum oxide. start this question by first balance the chemical equation.1.) balance the equation: - alo3(s)+naoh(l)+hf(> na3alf6+h2o(g). 2.) if 17.5 kilograms of al2o3(s), 51.4 kilograms of naoh(l), and 51.4 kilograms of hf(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produced? 3.)which reactants will be in excess, (al2o3, naoh, or hf) 4.)what is the total mass of the excess reactants left over after the reaction is complete in kg?

If a gas has an initial pressure of 101kpa and a volume of 10l, then it expands to a volume of 20l, what is the new pressure?

The diagrams to the right show the distribution and arrangement of gas particles in two different containers. according to kinetic-molecular theory, which of the following statements is true? check all that apply. if the temperatures of both containers are equal, container a has greater pressure than container b. if the volume of container a decreased, its pressure would decrease. if the pressure in both containers is equal, container a has a lower temperature than container b.
