Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.
Answer:
Hi, what are the problems on the lab?
Explanation:
Answer : The molar heat of solution of KCl is, 17.19 kJ/mol
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the heat of solution.
where,
q = heat produced = ?
c = specific heat capacity of water = 
= change in temperature = 0.360 K
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Now we have to calculate the molar heat solution of KCl.
where,
= enthalpy change = ?
q = heat released = 460.8 J
m = mass of 
= 2.00 g
Molar mass of = 74.55 g/mol
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the molar heat of solution of KCl is, 17.19 kJ/mol
Temperature decreases (?)
...because this notation increases the convenience in using the numbers
