Answer:
0.6258 g
Explanation:
To determine the number grams of aluminum in the above reaction;
- determine the number of moles of HCl
- determine the mole ratio,
- use the mole ratio to calculate the number of moles of aluminum.
- use RFM of Aluminum to determine the grams required.
<u>Moles </u><u>of </u><u>HCl</u>
35 mL of 2.0 M HCl
2 moles of HCl is contained in 1000 mL
x moles of HCl is contained in 35 mL

We have 0.07 moles of HCl.
<u>Mole </u><u>ratio</u>
6HCl(aq) + 2Al(s) --> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)
Hence mole ratio = 6 : 2 (HCl : Al
- but moles of HCl is 0.07, therefore the moles of Al;

Therefore we have 0.0233333 moles of aluminum.
<u>Grams of </u><u>Aluminum</u>
We use the formula;

The RFM (Relative formula mass) of aluminum is 26.982g/mol.
Substitute values into the formula;

The number of grams of aluminum required to react with HCl is 0.6258 g.
The answer is 40.
We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.
On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.
Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.
So that they will mix in better, or more easily. However you want to say it.
