34.59%

Explanation:
In order to calculate the mass percent of aluminum in that ionic compound, we're going to need two things:
1: The formula mass of the entire compound

2: The atomic mass of aluminum

The formula mass of aluminum hydroxide is
78.00
g
m
o
l
because:
26.98
g
m
o
l

3
(
16.00

)
+
3
(
1.0079
g
mol
)

=
78.00
g
m
o
l

We already know the atomic mass of aluminum since that's already given.
Now, we have to use the following equation:

The numerator represents the mass of the desired atom, which is Al in our case, and the denominator represents the mass of the entire compound. You just divide the two and multiply by 100 to obtain the percent composition:
Mass of Al
Molar Mass of Al(OH)

26.98 g/mol

How can you distinguish between a solution, colloid, and suspension?
RSB [31]

Answer:

solution is clear solution while colloidal is between the solution and suspension. And in suspension particles are suspended.

Explanation:

In solution light can be passed without any scattering of light from solute particles while suspension is cloudy and having larger particle size than colloids, if suspension stands for a while particles will settle down easily.

In colloids light  will scattered and dispersed by reflecting with large particles.
