Answer:
D. it's a displacement reaction
Chlorine.
If you search Google images for "Aufbau principle periodic table," you'll find some handy diagrams that will make it much easier to determine an element based on its electron configuration. Determine the number of electrons in the last part of the configuration (in this case, 5), locate that group on the Aufbau periodic table diagram, then count that number from left to right within that group. In this case, within the "3p" portion of the Periodic table, count to 5 and you'll find Chlorine as the answer.
Answer:
C. It is reactive because it must gain two electrons to have a full outermost energy level.
Step-by-step explanation:
The electron configuration of this element ends in 2s²2p⁴.
A filled energy level would end in 2s²2p⁶.
The element will be reactive, because it must gain electrons to have a full energy level, and it needs two more electrons to do this.
The reaction produces 2.93 g H₂.
M_r: 133.34 2.016
2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂
<em>Moles of AlCl₃</em> = 129 g AlCl₃ × (1 mol AlCl₃/133.34 g AlCl₃) = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃
<em>Moles of H₂</em> = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃ × (3 mol H₂/2 mol AlCl₃) = 1.451 mol H₂
<em>Mass of H₂</em> = 1.451 mol H₂ × (2.016 g H₂/1 mol H₂) = 2.93 g H₂
