Question

A laboratory experiment designed to determine the solubility product constant for magnesium hydroxide involved a similar procedure to establish a saturated solution. The hydroxide ion concentration was then determined using a pH meter. The pH was recorded as 10.52. Determine Ksp.

Answer 1

Explanation:

how can I solve this ?4Al+3O2 produce 2Al2O3 find a) oxygen atoms needed to react with 5.4 g of aluminium b) grams of oxygen needed to react with 0.6 mol of aluminium?

(A) n=m/M,

n(Al)=5.4/27=0.2 moles

n(O2)=n(Al)*3/4=0.2*3/4=0.15 moles

Number of oxygen atoms= n(O2)*Avogadro's number

=0.15*6.02*10^23=9.03*10^22 oxgyen atoms

(B)

n=m/M

n(Al)=0.6/27=0.02222 moles

n(O2)=n(Al)*3/4=0.016666 moles

m=n*M

m(O2)=0.0166666*32=0.53333 grams
