Consider the reaction: 2AI(s) + 6H+(aq) → 2AI3+(aq) + 3H2(g). What is the total number of moles of electrons transferred from the aluminium atoms to the hydrogen ions?
  • A.
    3
  • B.
    4
  • C.
    5
  • D.
    6
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

2AL(s) + 6H +(aq) → 2AL3+(aq) + 3H2(g). One aluminium atom transfers 3 electrons :. Two aluminium atoms will transfer 2×3=6 electrons
