Ca + Al(NO3)3 --> Al + Ca(NO3)2 If given this reaction, how many electrons does Aluminum gain to become neutral? Question 6 options: A) 0 B) 1 C) 2 D) 3
What is the known charge of the Aluminium Ion? If you dont know that what is the charge of the (NO3) polyatomic anion?
Aluminum, Al, is in group 3A. Aluminum loses three electrons to form the aluminum ion, Al3+.
idk
This is a displacement reaction. In this reaction calcium displaced aluminium or we can say aluminium was reduced by calcium. On the reactant side oxidation state of aluminium is +3 & on product side oxidation state of aluminium is 0. So can u predict now how many electrons are gained by aluminium in order to reduce its oxidation state from +3 to 0 ?
3?
