Aluminum is a metal and its oxidation state is +3. That means that it may lose three electrons and form cation Al +3. So the correct answer is option A. threee electrons are lost creating Al +3.

You can base your answer in the fact is in the group 13, that means that it has 3 electrons in its valence shell. Those are the three electrons that it can lose to form Al +3.

Also, you can search for the atomic number and do its electron configuration.

Z Al = 13 => 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1. So, the electrons 3s2 3p1 are the three electrons that it can lose to form Al +3.

Three electrons are lost, creating AL+3! (So the correct answer is A.)

I can confirm this because I took the test! :D

Hope that helped!

Cheers, mate!

Marie and Calvin dissolved 10 grams of KNO3 in 100 grams of water at 25oC. Next they added 5 grams more. Calvin told Marie that
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Hello!

Calvin told Marie that they could continue to add solute until the reached 40 grams because the solution was still unsaturated.

Unsaturated solutions are those in which the solvent (in this case water) can still dissolve more solute (in this case KNO₃) at the given pressure and temperature. This can be seen visually when adding more solute doesn't result in the presence of grains of solids that settle in the bottom of the flask. That happens because the rate of dissolving is higher than the rate of crystallization. 

Have a nice day!

How many moles of FeS2 are required to produce 32g of SO2?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

<u>So, the right answer is</u>

No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mole

Explanation:

From the balanced

4 FeS2 + 11 O2 → 2 Fe2O3 + 8 SO2

it is clear that 4 mol  FeS₂ react with O₂ to give Fe₂O₃ and 8 mol of SO₂

First, we have to convert mass of SO₂ into No. of moles as following:

SO₂ has molar mass = 64 g/mol

No. of moles of SO₂ = (mass / molar mass) = (32 g / 64 g/mol) = 0.5 mol

we know that  

4 mol  FeS₂  gives→ 8 mol of SO₂

1 mol  FeS₂  gives→ 2 mol of SO₂

??? mol  FeS₂  gives→ 0.5 mol of SO₂

No. of moles of FeS₂ = (0.5 mol * 1 mol ) / 2 mol = 0.25 mol

<u>So, the right answer is</u>

No. of moles of FeS₂ = 0.25 mol

If your lungs were filled with air containing this level of lead, how many lead atoms would be in your lungs? (Assume a total lu
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

1.505×10^23 atoms of lead

Explanation:

Volume of lead in the lungs = total volume of lungs = 5.60L

1 mole = 22.4L

5.6L of lead = 5.6/22.4 = 0.25 mole

From Avogadro's law

1 mole of lead contains 6.02×10^23 atoms of lead

0.25 mole of lead = 0.25×6.02×10^23 = 1.505×10^23 atoms of lead
