What is the limiting reactant if 0.5 g Al is reacted with 3.5 g CuCl2?

DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

The balanced equation for the above reaction is 
2Al + 3CuCl₂ --> 2AlCl₃ + 3Cu
stoichiometry of Al to CuCl₂ is 2:3
limiting reactant is when the reactant is fully consumed in the reaction therefore amount of product formed depends on amount of limiting reactant present. 
number of Al moles  - 0.5 g  / 27 g/mol = 0.019 mol
number of CuCl₂ moles - 3.5 g / 134.5 g/mol = 0.026 mol
if Al is the limiting reactant 
if 2 mol of Al reacts with 3 mol of CuCl₂
then 0.019 mol of Al reacts with - 3/2 x 0.019 = 0.029 mol of CuCl₂
but only 0.026 mol of CuCl₂ is present 
therefore CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant 
and 0.026 mol of CuCl₂ reacts with - 0.026/3 x 2 = 0.017 mol of Al is required
but 0.019 mol of Al is present 
therefore CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant and Al is in excess

How is energy transferred during the water cycle
likoan [24]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In water cycle, water from clouds fall in the form of rain, snow etc. This water travels through the surface of mountains and passes through rivers, oceans etc and gets evaporated due to heat from Sun.

When water evaporates then it absorbs energy in the form of heat from Sun and when water condenses then heat is released.

Therefore, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation.

Arrange the following H atom electron transitions in order of decreasing wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted:
Katyanochek1 [597]

The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d

Rydberg's formula :

                                   \frac{1}{\lambda} = R_h (\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} ),

where  λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from n_1 to n_2 and R_h = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here n_1 and  n_2 represents the transitions.

(a) n_1 =2 to n_2 = infinity

            \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2}  ) = 109677/4     [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, \lambda = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m

(b) n_1=4 to  n_2 = 20

           \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{20^2}  ) = 6580.62

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m

(c) n_1=3 to  n_2 = 10

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{10^2}  ) = 11089.56

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m

(d)  n_1=2 to  n_2 = 1

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}  ) = - 82257.75

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 /82257.75  = - 0.0000121 m  

[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]

So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.

Kisachek [45]

4,410 kJ

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Enegry (GPE) is calculated as;

GPE = <em>m*g*h</em>                           where;

m = mass (kg)

g = gravity (m/s²)

h = height (meters)

= 90 * 9.8 * 5000

= 4,410,000‬ joules

= 4,410 kJ
