The formula would be AlCl3, which is aluminum chloride.


How many atoms are there in aluminum chloride?

Four or eight, depending on the state. It exists as AlCl3 or Al2Cl6.


How many individual atom make up one unit of aluminium chloride?

For this problem, the atomic mass is required. Take the mass in grams and divide it by the atomic mass. Then multiply it by Avogadro's constant, 6.02 × 1023. AlCl3= 133.5 grams10.5 grams Cu / (133.5 grams) × (6.02 × 1023 atoms) = 4.73 × 1022 atoms


How many atoms are in AlCL3?

The number of atoms in AlCl3 will vary depending on how much AlCl3 you have. If you have one single molecule (formula unit) of AlCl3, then there are 4 atoms. If you have 10 molecules (formula units) then there are 40 atoms, and so on.


How many atoms is AlCl made of?

That's not a valid empirical formula. Assuming you meant aluminum chloride and just didn't know the real formula, it's AlCl3 with four atoms per formula unit.

How many moles are in 4177 g of aluminum chloride?

Aluminum chloride has a formula of AlCl3, and its molecular weight is the sum of the atomic weights of its atoms. Al has a mass of 27.0, and Cl, 35.5. So we add the masses of Al (27.0) and the chlorides (3x34.5=106.5) to get a molecular weight of 133.5 grams per mole of AlCl3. If we have 4177g and divide it by 133.5g/mole, we get 31.30 moles.


How many aluminum atoms are in a unit cell?

Aluminum Chloride has a formula of AlCl3 giving it 4 total atoms per molecule. Aluminum has a charge of +3 and Chlorine's most common charge is -1 meaning you need 3 chlorine for every 1 Aluminum to cancel the charges.Because of the chlorine, it would most likely be aqueous, or dissolved in a liquid.


Why is beryllium Chloride soluble in Benzene?

Aluminum chloride (AlCl3) is soluble in benzene (to a slight extent) and in water because the aluminum-chlorine bond is covalent, but strongly polarized, due to the relatively high electronegativity of the aluminum atom (1.5 to 1.61 on Pauling scale). This causes aluminum valence electrons be shared between aluminum and chlorine atoms. Solid aluminum chloride is not bound together as tightly as is an ionic solid; therefore aluminum chloride molecules can leave the solid at a relatively low cost in energy. The electron density at the aluminum atom is low, so the atom is attracted to any area of high electron density in a non-aqueous solvent. Thus there is a weak attraction of the aluminum atoms to the pi electron cloud in the benzene molecule, allowing a small amount of solubility. It is highly soluble in solvents with Lewis base character, such as nitrobenzene or ether. It is poorly soluble in methylene chloride or chloroform. When anhydrous aluminum chloride is added to water, the aluminum chloride hydrolyzes, with the evolution of a large amount of heat and the formation of hydrochloric acid and aluminum hydroxide. Continued addition of aluminum chloride to this acidic mixture results in a clear solution of aluminum cations and chloride anions. The aluminum cation, having a large charge and a small radius, has a substantial heat of hydration. The following is from an earlier version of this answer. I am not familiar with this area: The molecule has a small radius, which allows it to fit between polar solvent molecules whose charges direct and "park" an AlCl3 molecule in place adjacent to a polar solvent molecule. Moreover, the solubility of the AlCl3 in polar solvents is enhanced by the aluminum ion's non valence electron pairs in the 2p6 orbitals being unshielded by the shift of the valence shell electrons toward the chlorine atoms. However, my answer is rather superficial, and more thorough study on the subject is most recommended. Internet inquiry keywords could be [shielding aluminum covalent ionic polar aprotic soluble].
