So the solution inside doesn't splash
Answer:
Explanation:
Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:
= 2.25 mol of chlorine
= 0.750 mol of Al.
To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.
So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly
.
However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be
.
Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6
Answer: Seastars prey on mussels and shellfish which would otherwise have no other natural predators. Herbivorous fish like the butterflyfish pictured to the left prey on marine algae. Without this crucial predator-prey balance, the algae would over-grow, which would then kill coral, as they compete for the same resources.
Answer:
Both gives hydroxides, but
Calcium reacts with water to give calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2. this product is slightly soluble in water.
Aluminium is less reactive than Ca, so it reacts with only steam, to give aluminium hydroxide Al(OH)3. This product is insoluble in water.
You could use distillation.
Hope this helps
