Alkali Metals: •are placed in group 1, • can be cut with a knife

Halogens: •are placed in group 17, • react vigorously with metals

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the metals found in group 1 of the periodic table. They have one outermost shell electron. They react with cold water vigorously to form alkalis and liberate hydrogen gas as well. They are very reactive metals and their reactivity increases on going down the group. They are soft and can be cut with a knife. Examples of alkali metals are lithium, sodium,potassium, rubidium,caesium, francium.

The Halogens are reactive non-metals placed in group 17 of the periodic table. They have seven outermost shell electrons. They are the most reactive non-metals react vigorously with metals by to form ionic compounds. They exist as diatomic molecules. They are found in nature mainly as salts because of their reactivity. Their reactivity decreases on going down the group. Examples of the halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
