<span>atomic weights: Al = 26.98, Cl = 35.45
In this reaction; 2Al = 53.96 and 3Cl2 = 212.7
Ratio of Al:Cl = 53.96/212.7 = 0.2537 that is approximately four times the mass Cl is needed.
Step 2:
(a) Ratio of Al:Cl = 2.70/4.05 = 0.6667
since the ratio is greater than 0.2537 the divisor which is Cl is not big enough to give a smaller ratio equal to 0.2537.
so Cl is limiting
(b)since Cl is the limiting reactant 4.05g will be used to determine the mass of AlCl3 that can be produced.
From Step 1:
212.7g of Cl will produce 266.66g AlCl3
212.7g = 266.66g
4.05g = x
x = 5.08g of AlCl3 can be produced
(c)
Al:Cl = 0.2537
Al:Cl = Al:4.05 = 0.2537
mass of Al used in reaction = 4.05 x 0.2537 = 1.027g
Excess reactant = 2.70 - 1.027 = 1.67g

Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.
The radius of the electron's or basically the energy level for which the electron is found orbiting the nucleus of he hydrogen atom, as the principal quantum number tells us primarily the energy level that the electron will be found, is it the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The other quantum numbers tells us more specifically as per the subshell of the main shell the electron is in, the spin of the electron etc.
