Explanation:

When working with moles only, you will start by applying stoichiometry to determine how the reactants will affect your amount of products in this reaction. For this question, we will assume that other reactants are in infinite qualities, so therefore, it is the amount of aluminum that we will be concerned with. You need to figure out how much aluminum is in the specified amount of aluminum bromide, and then how much aluminum hydroxide that will be able to create. Make sure all your units cancel out!

9.24 mol AlBr3 x (1 mol Al / 1 mol AlBr3) x (1 mol Al(OH)3 / 1 mol Al) = 9.24 mol AlBr3

When you're working with mole ratios that involve grams to moles conversions, the first thing you want to do is calculate the molecular weight of each component you are being asked about. Because the question was given to you as words instead of chemical formulas, you will want to figure out the chemical formulas. For example, aluminum hydroxide is Al(OH)3 and aluminum bromide is AlBr3. To calculate molecular weight, you will want to consult a periodic table, find the molecular weight for each atom, and then calculate the correct sum of each molecular weight. Make sure you keep track of the number of each atom you have, i.e. 3 oxygen and 3 hydrogen for aluminum hydroxide.

Na = 22.990 g/mol

O = 15.999 g/mol

H = 1.008 g/mol

NaOH = 22.990 g/mol + 15.999 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol = 39.997 g/mol

Al = 26.982 g/mol

O = 15.999 g/mol

H = 1.008 g/mol

Al(OH)3 = 26.982 g/mol + (3 x 15.999 g/mol) + (3 x 1.008 g/mol) = 78.003 g/mol

Now, if you begin with an amount of NaOH in grams, you will first have to convert that to moles in order to use the mole ratio.

24 g NaOH x (1 mol NaOH / 39.997 g NaOH) = 0.600 mol NaOH

Now, you will have to account for the part of the sodium hydroxide that will be present in the aluminum hydroxide. In this case, it is the hydroxide (OH) portion of the formula. There is one mole of OH in each mole of NaOH, but there are 3 moles of OH in each mole of Al(OH)3. You will start with the 0.600 mol NaOH you know you have and then use the mole ratio.

0.600 mol NaOH x (1 mol OH / 1 mol NaOH) x (1 mol Al(OH)3 / 3 mol OH) = 0.200 mol Al(OH)3

Finally, when you are converting from grams to grams, you will have to find the molecular weight of both the reactant and the product, convert reactants in grams to reactants in moles, then use the mole ratio, then convert the moles of product back to grams of product. This time, you are concerned about the mole ratio of sodium, as that is the element that is in both chemical formulas.

Is a 3.3% solution dilute or concentrated? Dilute Concentrated

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Dilute

Explanation:

A concentrated solutions is a one which has relatively large amount of dissolved solute in the solution whereas a dilute solution is a one which has relatively lower concentration of dissolved solute.

In the given solution there is only 3.3% of solute. So, we can say that the given solution is a dilute solution. However, these terms are relative.

At 35.0°c and 3.00 atm pressure, a gas has a volume of 1.40 l. what pressure does the gas have at 0.00°c and a volume of 0.950 l

Leona [35]

Answer : The pressure of gas will be, 3.918 atm and the combined gas law is used for this problem.

Solution :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 3 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 1.40 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 0.950 L

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $35^oC=273+35=308K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $0^oC=273+0=273K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

$\frac{3atm\times 1.40L}{308K}=\frac{P_2\times 0.950L}{273K}$

$P_2=3.918atm$

Therefore, the pressure of gas will be, 3.918 atm and the combined gas law is used for this problem.

Acetic acid and ethanol react to form ethyl acetate and water, like this:

ladessa [460]

Answer:

1.) Option C is correct.

The rate of reverse reaction is greater than zero, but equal to the rate of the forward reaction.

2) Option B is correct.

The rate of reverse reaction is Greater than zero, but less than the rate of the forward reaction.

3) Option C is correct.

The rate of reverse reaction is Greater than zero, and equal to the rate of the forward reaction.

4) Option A is correct.

How much less C2H5CO2CH3 is in the flask when the system has again reached equilibrium? Zero.

Explanation:

HCH,CO2(aq) + C2H5OH(aq) ⇌ C2H,CO2CH3(aq) + H2O

1) Before the main product is removed from the reaction setup, the chemical reaction is at equilibrium.

Chemical equilibrium is a state of dynamic equilibrium such that the concentration of the reactants and the products do not always remain the same but the rate of forward reaction always matches the rate of backward reaction.

2) When 246. mmol of C2HCO2CH3 are removed from the reaction mixture....

And when one of the factors involved in chemical equilibrium changes, Le Chatellier's principle explains that the system then adjusts to remedy this change and takes time to go back to equilibrium again.

When one of the species involved in the chemical reaction at equilibrium, is removed from the reaction mixture, the rate of reaction begins to favour that side of the reaction until equilibrium is re-established.

So, when 246 mmol of one of the products is removed, the response is to cause the rate of forward reaction to be favoured to produce more of products as there are fewer, and the rate of reverse reaction at this moment becomes less than the rate of forward reaction.

3) The rate of the reverse reaction when the system has again reached equilibrium

Like I said in (2) above, the reaction remedies this change in concentration of one of the products until equilibrium is re-established and when chemical equilibrium is re-established the rate of forward reaction once again matches the rate of backward reaction.

4) How much less C2H5CO2CH3 is in the flask when the system has again reached equilibrium?

By the time equilibrium is re-established, the system goes back to how it all was and the concentration of C2H5CO2CH3 goes back to the same as it was at the start of the reaction.

Hope this Helps!!!
