Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

It is a common observation that a strip of aluminium metal in aqueous copper(II)Sulfate does not show any visible reaction. Aluminium is normally expected to displace copper in solution since it is higher than copper in the electrochemical series.

The reason for this is that aluminium forms an oxide film around its surface which prevents reaction with aqueous copper(II)Sulfate. This oxides film protects the aluminium surface such that it is now unable to react with the aqueous copper(II)Sulfate

Answer:

B) number of electrons

Explanation:

The two species:

K+ and Cl- have the same number of electrons.

A neutral atom of K has 19 electrons

A neutral atom of Cl has 17 electrons

Now,

To form K+, K will have to lose an electron and then the number of electrons becomes 18

To form Cl-, Cl will have to gain an electrons and then the number of electrons becomes 18

So, therefore, the number of electrons on both species is 18
