What is the charge of an aluminum ion? (2 points) Select one: a. 2+ b. 3+ c. 2- d. 3-
1 answer:
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:
So, the right choice is b. 3+.

It depends on what type of graph you have. The easiest would be using a H-T diagram. Enthalpy of vaporization is the physical change from liquid to vapor. It occurs at a constant pressure and a constant temperature. As shown in the picture, 1 point is drawn on the subcooled liquid, and another point of the saturated vapor isothermal line. Now, the difference between those two points is the value for the enthalpy of vaporization of water.
