Answer:

d. The acid is likely to eat through the can.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a metallic element found in group 3 of the periodic table. Aluminum is a very reactive metal owing to the fact that it reacts with almost every substance it comes in contact with e.g air, acids, bases etc.

In this question where Derek stores his Hydrochloric acid (HCl) remnant, after an experiment, into a can made of aluminum. What will happen is that the acid is likely going to eat through the can. This might occur gradually but will eventually. Aluminum protects itself from further reactions by forming a layer of Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) when it reacts with air.

This is what keeps the reaction with HCl gradual but the acid will eventually permeate the layer and corrode the aluminum can by reacting with the aluminum.

How many electrons in an atom could have these sets of quantum numbers? n=2?
slavikrds [6]
A maximum of 8 electrons can share the quantum number  n = 2.

Principal Quantum number has a symbol of "n". It tells you the energy level on which an electron resides. Y<span>ou need to determine exactly how many </span>orbitals<span> you have in this energy level before you can determine the number of electrons that can share the value of n.
</span>

The number of orbitals you get per energy level can be found using this formula:

<span>no. of orbitals=<span>n</span></span><span>²</span>

Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, the formula would be:

<span>no. of electrons=2<span>n</span></span><span>²</span>

Using the given formulas:

<span>no. of orbitals = <span>n</span></span><span>² </span><span>= </span><span>2</span><span>² </span><span>= </span><span>4</span>
