Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.
Answer:
D.
Double replacement, CaO + Cl2O
Explanation:
A binary compound of oxygen with another element is called oxide. An oxide is a binary compound of oxygen and another element. Oxygen combines with metals and non-metals to form respective oxides.
Answer:
Scientists were unsure about the last common ancestor between apes and humans because fossils are so scarce, researchers do not know what the last common ancestors of living apes and humans looked like or where they originated.
Explanation:
Using ideal gas equation,
P\times V=n\times R\times T
Here,
P denotes pressure
V denotes volume
n denotes number of moles of gas
R denotes gas constant
T denotes temperature
The values at STP will be:
P=1 atm
T=273 K
R=0.0821 atm L mol ⁻¹
Mass of HCl given= 49.8 g
Molar mass of HCl given=36.41
Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{Given mass of the substance}{Molar mass of the substance}
Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{49.8}{36.46}
Number of moles of gas, n= 1.36
Putting all the values in the above equation,
V=\frac{1.36\times 0.0821\times 273}{1}
V=30.6 L
So the volume will be 30.6 L.
