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: -
12.41 g
Explanation: -
Mass of CO₂ = 42 g
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 x 1 + 16 x 2 = 44 g / mol
Number of moles of CO₂ = 
= 0.9545 mol
The balanced chemical equation for this process is
2C₆H₆ + 15O₂ → 12CO₂ + 6H₂O
From the balanced chemical equation we see
12 mol of CO₂ is produced from 2 mol of C₆H₆
0.9545 mol of CO₂ is produced from 
= 0.159 mol of C₆H₆
Molar mass of C₆H₆ = 12 x 6 + 1 x 6 =78 g /mol
Mass of C₆H₆ =Molar mass x Number of moles
= 78 g / mol x 0.159 mol
= 12.41 g
