Can you elaborate this a little more?
It would be +3
Since the number of protons and electrons must be equal in an atom for it to be neutral, if it looses electrons it becomes positively charged ion and if it gains electrons it becomes negatively charged ion.
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:
<span>2Al2O3 = 4Al + 3O2
We are given the amount of aluminum oxide used in the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations. We do as follows:
26.5 mol Al2O3 ( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol Al2O3 ) = 39.75 mol O2 produced</span>
Answer:
The highest biogenic silica accumulation rates in this area are observed in the South Atlantic, with values as large as 53 cm. kyr−1 during the last 18,000 yr. Further, extensive biogenic silica accumulation has been recorded in the deep-sea sediments of the Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, and Subarctic North Pacific.
