Answer:

Al(s) + 3HCl(aq) → AlCl₃(aq) + 3/2H₂(g).

Explanation:

  • We should apply the law of conversation of mass to balance any chemical reaction; that the no. of atoms in the reactants side is equal to that in the products side.

So, the balanced equation is:

<em>Al(s) + 3HCl(aq) → AlCl₃(aq) + 3/2H₂(g).</em>

Further explanation

Aluminum chloride (AlCl3) is the main chemical compound of aluminum and chlorine. This compound is white, but the sample is often contaminated with iron trichloride, which gives a yellow coloring. the density has a low melting and boiling point. This compound is mainly produced and consumed in the production of aluminum metal, but a large amount is also used in the chemical industry. This compound is often classified as Lewis acid. This is an example of an inorganic compound that cracks at low temperatures, changing back and forth from a polymer to a monomer.

Al = Aluminum metal

HCl = hydrochloric acid solution

AlCl₃ = aluminum chloride

H₂ = Hydrogen gas

Al (s) + HCl (aq) ⇒ AlCl₃ (aq) + H₂ (g)

To equalize the reaction coefficient with the following steps:

Step 1 Determine the reaction coefficient for the compound AlCl₃ = 1, so the reaction becomes: Al (s) + HCl (aq) ⇒ AlCl₃ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Step 2, because the Cl atom after the reaction = 2 then before the reaction in HCl must be = 3 so the coefficient of HCl = 3, the reaction becomes: Al (s) +3 HCl (aq) ⇒ AlCl₃ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Step 3. Because the number of H atoms in HCl = 3, the number of H atoms in H₂ must be multiplied by 3/2, so that it becomes

Al (s) + 3HCl (aq) ⇒ AlCl₃ (aq) +3/2 H₂ (g)

Step 4, so that there are no fractional numbers, we multiply all reactions by 2, so that it becomes (Al (s) + 3HCl (aq) ⇒ AlCl₃ (aq) + 3 / 2H₂ (g)) x 2

thus becoming ;

2Al (s) + 6HCl (aq) ⇒ 2AlCl₃ (aq) + 3H₂ (g)

if we count, the number of atoms before the reaction is the same as after the reaction:

2Al (s) + 6HCl (aq) ⇒ 2AlCl₃ (aq) + 3H₂ (g)

Find the volume of 20g of H₂ at STP<br><br>​
ANEK [815]

Answer:224

Explanation:

We should answer it with Stoichiometry

We say: 20 g H2× (1 mol/ 2g)× ( 22.4 lit/ 1 mol) = 224

Means: we have 20 grams and every 2g H2, equals to 1 mol of it and every 1 mol of H2, equals to 22.4 lit( because of STP)

hope you got this:)

A charged object (like a balloon that's been rubbed on the wall) cant attract an object with a net neutral charge (neither posit
UNO [17]

Answer: A balloon is charged by a process of frictional charging and the object is getting charged by the process of induction.

Explanation:

When two bodies are rubbed against each other, charging by friction or rubbing occurs. The electropositive object loses electrons to electronegative object. Thus, when balloon is rubbed on a wall, it becomes charged.

The charged balloon is able to attract an uncharged object by inducing charge on it without the two objects touching each other. Electrostatic force acts between two charged objects. Charged balloon causes electrons to move at one end thereby inducing opposite charge in the object and thus, charged balloon is able to attract uncharged object.
