Answer:

alumimum

Explanation:

Aluminum oxidation happens faster than that of steel, because aluminum has a really strong affinity for oxygen. Rather than flaking though, aluminum oxide just forms a hard, whitish-colored surface skin. When all the aluminum atoms have bonded with oxygen the oxidation process stops.

hope this answers your question.

Answer:

674.26 g of AlI₃

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the theoretical yield of aluminum (Al). This can be obtained as follow:

Percentage yield of Al = 67.8%

Actual yield of Al = 30.25 g

Theoretical yield of Al =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100/

67.8% = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

67.8 / 100 = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

0.678 = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

Cross multiply

0.678 × Theoretical yield = 30.25

Divide both side by 0.678

Theoretical yield = 30.25 / 0.678

Theoretical yield of Al = 44.62 g

Next, we shall determine the mass of AlI₃ that reacted and the mass of Al produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

AlI₃(s) + 3K(s) → 3KI(s) + Al(s)

Molar mass of AlI₃ = 27 + (3×127)

= 27 + 381 = 408 g/mol

Mass of AlI₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 408 = 408 g

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 1 × 27 = 27 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

408 g of AlI₃ reacted to produce 27 g of Al.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of

AlI₃ required to produce 44.62 g of Al. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

408 g of AlI₃ reacted to produce 27 g of Al.

Therefore, Xg of AlI₃ will react to produce 44.62 g of Al i.e

Xg of AlI₃ = (408 × 44.62)/27

Xg of AlI₃ = 674.26 g

Thus, 674.26 g of AlI₃ is needed for the reaction.

graduated cylinder is filled with water to a volume of 6.2 ML. an irregular shaped plastic object weighing 1.2 g is placed in th

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

A. Density of object = 0.86 g/mL

B. The object will float in the water.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of water = 6.2 mL

Mass (m) of object = 1.2 g

Volume of water + Object = 7.59 mL

Density of object =?

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Next, we shall determine the volume of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 6.2 mL

Volume of water + Object = 7.59 mL

Volume of object =?

Volume of object = (Volume of water + Object) – (Volume of water)

Volume of object = 7.59 – 6.2

Volume of object = 1.39 mL

Therefore, the volume of the object is 1.39 mL

A. Determination of the density of the object.

Mass (m) of object = 1.2 g

Volume (V) of object = 1.39 mL

Density (D) of object =?

Density = mass /volume

Density = 1.2/1.39

Density of object = 0.86 g/mL

B. Determination of whether the object will float or sink.

Density of object = 0.86 g/mL

Density of water = 1 g/mL

From the above, we can see that the density of water is greater than that of the object. This implies that the object is lighter than water. Therefore, the object will float in the water.
