Answer:

96%

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization reaction

Al(OH)₃ + 3 HCl ⇒ AlCl₃ + 3 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the theoretical yield of AlCl₃

According to the balanced equation, the mass ratio of Al(OH)₃ to AlCl₃ is 81.03:133.34.

28 g Al(OH)₃ × 133.34 g AlCl₃/81.03 g Al(OH)₃ = 46 g AlCl₃

Step 3: Calculate the percent yield of AlCl₃

The real yield of AlCl₃ is 44 g. We can calculate the percent yield using the following expression.

%yield = real yield / theoretical yield × 100%

%yield = 44 g / 46 g × 100% = 96%

Classify each element as a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal. br in cr ca drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. view

goldenfox [79]

Below is the distribution of given elements and additional elements in their respective bins.

Iron, Magnesium, Aluminium, Calcium, Chromium and Indium are classified as Metals due to their hardness, conduction of current and heat, Solid state, formation of metallic bonding and prefers to form cations e.t.c

Oxygen, Neon and Bromine are classified as non-metals. Non-metals are mostly gases except for Bromine. They are highly volatile and prefers to form anions.

Semimetals are those metals which have both properties of metals and non-metals and are also called as metalloids.
