I think the answer is option 2
d because they want to detemine the cause of bacterial growth
Reaction equation:
Al(OH)₃ + 3HCl → AlCl₃ + 3H₂O
Moles of Al(OH)₃:
moles = mass/Mr
= 1.51 / (27 + 17 x 3)
= 0.019
Molar ratio Al(OH)₃ : HCl = 1 : 3
Moles of HCl required = 0.019 x 3
=0.057
concentration = moles/volume
volume = 0.057 / 0.1
= 0.57 dm³
= 570 ml
Group 2 because the outer electrons ( also known as valence electrons) are 2 and that’s how we know which group it is in
