B. Three are lost creating Al+3. Because atoms have and equal amount of Protons and Electons when neutral losing 3 electrons will create a positive Al ion Al+3

The answer is; B.

This is called an aluminum cation. Aluminum forms bonds with anions in which it can donate its three valence electrons so it can achieve stable electron configuration. Stable electron configuration is having 8 electron in the outer shell. By donating its 3 outer valence electrons, the aluminium will have the more stable 2.8 electron configuration. The +3 means it has lost 3 electrons hence has 3 extra protons (that are not matched by an electron) in its nucleus (also indicating its valency).

Convert mols to grams by multiplying grams of tin by the number of mols.

There are 119 grams per mol

119 x 11.8 = 1404 grams

<u>Answer:</u> The expression for equilibrium constant is $K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{eq}$
