In the reaction of aluminum metal with hydrochloric acid, if 5.50 g of aluminum is reacted with excess acid at 25 c and 0.975 atm, how many liters of hydrogen gas would be produced? 2al(s) + 6hcl(aq) → 2alcl3(aq) + 3h2(g)

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
