Answer:- b. +3

Explanations:- Charge of a metal ion is equal to the number of valence electrons it has as it loses these electrons to have its nearest noble gas like electron configuration.

Al has 3 valence electrons and being a metal it loses all of these and so the charge of Al ion is +3. It could be shown as:

$Al\rightarrow Al^+^3+3e^-$

So, the right choice is b. 3+.

What are the disadvantages of aluminium fir building cars

Wittaler [7]

Disadvantages of aluminum in building cars include:

On average, aluminum is more expensive than steel, as much as two to three times.

Aluminum is not easily welded. If a steel door or panel suffers a crack, often it cam be welded back together easily, primed and repainted so its difficult to tell any body work has been performed. This cannot be done with aluminum. Steel also can be bent and shaped as needed.

Body shops and even dealer service centers are currently equipped for steel work with technicians skilled in the art of welding and steel fabrication. The cost of switching over to an infra structure designed specifically for all-aluminum vehicles or mass production of aluminum vehicles and components would be high.

2. helium - He

3. sodium - Na

4. magnesium - Mg

5. potassium - K

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the element of group 1 and first period. The atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and the symbol of the element is H.

The electronic configuration of the element hydrogen is:-

$1s^1$

Helium is the element of group 18 and first period. The atomic number of helium is 2 and the symbol of the element is He.

The electronic configuration of the element helium is:-

$1s^2$

Sodium is the element of group 1 and third period. The atomic number of sodium is 11 and the symbol of the element is Na.

The electronic configuration of the element sodium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^1$

Magnesium is the element of group 2 and third period. The atomic number of magnesium is 12 and the symbol of the element is Mg.

The electronic configuration of the element magnesium is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

Potassium is the element of group 1 and forth period. The atomic number of potassium is 19 and the symbol of the element is K.

If one of the impurities in diesel fuel has the formula c2h6s, what products will be formed when it burns? enter a balanced chem

inna [77]

<span>If one of the impurities in diesel fuel has the formula c2h6s, then the products that will form would be carbon dioxide, water and sulfur dioxide. The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows:

</span>C2H6S(l)<span> + 9/2O2(g) = 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(v) + SO2(g)
</span>
Hope this answers the question.

Based on the three formulas shown, use one of them to solve for the purple yellow and red box and explain how you did it.

zysi [14]

P = 11.133 atm (purple)

T = -236.733 °C(yellow)

n = 0.174 mol(red)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated),:

Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V
Charles's law, at constant P, V = T
Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n

So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation

In general, the gas equation can be written

$\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}$

where

P = pressure, atm

V = volume, liter

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K

T = temperature, Kelvin

To choose the formula used, we refer to the data provided

Because the data provided are temperature, pressure, volume and moles, than we use the formula PV = nRT

Purple box

T= 10 +273.15 = 373.15 K

V=5.5 L

n=2 mol

$\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 373.15}{5.5}\\\\P=11.133~atm$

Yellow box

V=8.3 L

P=1.8 atm

n=5 mol

$\tt T=\dfrac{PV}{nR}\\\\T=\dfrac{1.8\times 8.3}{5\times 0.08205}\\\\T=36.42~K=-236.733^oC$

Red box

T = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15 K

V=3.4 L

P=1.2 atm

$\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.2\times 3.4}{0.08205\times 285.15}\\\\n=0.174~mol$

Law of conservation of mass to explain why a chemical equation must be balanced?

SOVA2 [1]

Chemical equations must always balance due to the principles outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law states that matter cannot be created out of nothing nor can it be destroyed.
