After centrifugation of the sample, the student was not careful and some of the solid was transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask al

ong with the liquid (supernatant). How is this mistake expected to affect the mass of the limiting reactant in the unknown mixture used?

The fact that some of the solid was transferred would decrease the mass of the limiting reactant.

<h3>What is the limiting reactant?</h3>

We know that in a chemical reaction, there are at least two substances that are combined in order to give the product of the reaction. We also know that the product that we obtain must be in accordance to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

It is common to see that one of the reactants would be present in a very large amount while the other reactant would be present only in quite a small amount. The reactant that is present in a small amount is said to be the limiting reactant while the one that is present in the large amount is said to be the reactant that is in excess.

Having said this, we know that the mass of the limiting reactant can be obtained from the mass of the solid that is obtained after the reaction.

If we do not take out all of the solid from the centrifuge, the mass would not be accurately weighed and the mass of the limiting reactant would not be accurately determined.

Answer:

Final concentrations:

Cu²⁺ = 0

Al³⁺ = 3.13 mmol/L = 84.51 mg/L

Cu = 4.7 mmol/L = 300 mg/L

Al = 0.57 mmol/L = 15.49 mg/L

Explanation:

2Al (s) + 3Cu²⁺ (aq) → 2Al³⁺ (aq) + 3Cu (s)

Al: 27 g/mol ∴ 100 mg = 3.7 mmol

Cu: 63.5 g/mol ∴ 300 mg = 4.7 mmol

3 mol Cu²⁺ _______ 2 mol Al

4.7 mmol Cu²⁺ _____ x

x = 3.13 mmol Al

4.7 mmol of Cu²⁺ will be consumed.

3.13 mmol of Al will be consumed.

4.7 mmol of Cu will be produced.

3.13 mmol of Al³⁺ will be produced.

0.57 mmol of Al will remain.

Phoenix [80]

Answer: The coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Explanation: The reaction for the oxidation of methamphentamine with oxygen gas in the body is given by:

4C_{10}H_{15}N(s)+55O_2(g)\rightarrow 40CO_2(g)+30H_2O(l)+2N_2(g)

By Stoichiometry,

4 moles of methamphentamine reacts with 55 moles of oxygen gas to produce 40 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 30 moles of water and 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Coefficient of C_{10}H_{15}N=4

Coefficient of O_2=55

Coefficient of CO_2=40

Coefficient of H_2O=30

Coefficient of N_2=2

Hence, the coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Which statement is true in comparison to a weak acid, a strong acid
Allushta [10]

Answer: Strong acid vs weak acid

Strong acids and strong bases refer to species that completely dissociate to form ions in solution.

Explanation: By contrast, weak acids and bases ionize only partially, and the ionization reaction is reversible. Thus, weak acid and base solutions contain multiple charged and uncharged species in dynamic equilibrium.
