<span>atomic weights: Al = 26.98, Cl = 35.45
In this reaction; 2Al = 53.96 and 3Cl2 = 212.7
Ratio of Al:Cl = 53.96/212.7 = 0.2537 that is approximately four times the mass Cl is needed.
Step 2:
(a) Ratio of Al:Cl = 2.70/4.05 = 0.6667
since the ratio is greater than 0.2537 the divisor which is Cl is not big enough to give a smaller ratio equal to 0.2537.
so Cl is limiting
(b)since Cl is the limiting reactant 4.05g will be used to determine the mass of AlCl3 that can be produced.
From Step 1:
212.7g of Cl will produce 266.66g AlCl3
212.7g = 266.66g
4.05g = x
x = 5.08g of AlCl3 can be produced
(c)
Al:Cl = 0.2537
Al:Cl = Al:4.05 = 0.2537
mass of Al used in reaction = 4.05 x 0.2537 = 1.027g
Excess reactant = 2.70 - 1.027 = 1.67g

The correct answer attached in file, Thank you for joining brainly community.
The classification of it being a metal, nonmetal, or metalliod will be useful in the process of elimination to determine what it is. Then for the second test, meauring the atomin radius will narrow it down quicker to the mystery elemet's name.
Since you determined what part of the periodic table it's on, then when measuring the atomic radius, you should be able to pinpoint what the element is more surely.
The correct answer is Be+
That is because it lost a single electron but still has the same number of protons, and thus the effective charge attracting each electron is greater, which in turn makes the radius even smaller
