Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.
Answer:
1 mole of platinum
Explanation:
To obtain the number of mole(s) of platinum present, we need to determine the empirical formula for the compound.
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:
Platinum (Pt) = 117.4 g
Carbon (C) = 28.91 g
Nitrogen (N) = 33.71 g
Divide by their molar mass
Pt = 117.4 / 195 = 0.602
C = 28.91 / 12 = 2.409
N = 33.71 / 14 = 2.408
Divide by the smallest
Pt = 0.602 / 0.602 = 1
C = 2.409 / 0.602 = 4
N = 2.408 / 0.602 = 4
The empirical formula for the compound is PtC₄N₄ => Pt(CN)₄
From the formula of the compound (i.e Pt(CN)₄), we can see clearly that the compound contains 1 mole of platinum.
Answer: There are 7.4 moles of helium gas present in a 1.85 liter container at the same temperature and pressure.
Explanation:
Given: 
= 2.25 L, 
= 9.0 mol
= 1.85 L, 
= ?
Formula used to calculate the moles of helium are as follows.
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that there are 7.4 moles of helium gas present in a 1.85 liter container at the same temperature and pressure.
Answer:
An atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.
For example,
Al atom has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The number of positive and negative charge is equal thus it will be neutral atom.
While the atom of Al which have 13 proton and 10 electron is not neutral. The positive charge is greater than negative by 3. Which means 3 electrons are lose by Al atom and form cation "Al⁺³".
Thus an atom of Al which has 13 protons and 10 electrons is Al cation (Al⁺³)
