How many grams of aluminum chloride are produced when 5.96 grams of aluminum are reacted with excess chlorine gas? Start with a balanced equation.

29.47 g of AlCl₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2Al + 3Cl₂ —> 2AlCl₃

Next, we shall determine the mass of Al that reacted and the mass of AlCl₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 2 × 27 = 54 g

Molar mass of AlCl₃ = 27 + (35.5× 3)

= 27 + 106.5

= 133.5 g/mol

Mass of AlCl₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 133.5 = 267 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

54 g of Al reacted to produce 267 g of AlCl₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of AlCl₃ produced by the reaction of 5.96 g of Al. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

54 g of Al reacted to produce 267 g of AlCl₃.

Therefore, 5.96 g of Al will react to produce = (5.96 × 267)/54 = 29.47 g of AlCl₃.

Thus, 29.47 g of AlCl₃ were obtained from the reaction.

the answer is b. dilution

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
