    a) 2Al + 6HCl - -> 2AlCl₃ (aq) + 3 H₂ (g)

    b) oxidation state of Al = 0

    oxidation state of H in HCl = + 1

    oxidation state of Cl in HCl = - 1

    oxidation state of Al IN AlCl₃ = + 3

    oxidation state of Cl in AlCl₃ = - 1

    oxidation state of H in H₂ = 0

    c).562 gm of Al

    = 1.562 / 27

    =.0578 mole of Al will form. 0578 mole of AlCl₃

    mol weight of AlCl₃ = 27 + 35.5 x 3 = 133.5 gm

    .0578 mole of AlCl₃ =.0578 x 133.5

    = 7.71 gm.

    d) Al is oxidised as it oxidation no increases and H is reduced as its oxidation no is reduced.

    e) volume =.24 liter

    concentration of AlCl₃ = (.0578 /.24) M

    =.24 M

    f) moles of H₂ gas evolved

    = 3 / 2 x. 0578

    =.0867 moles.
