Trainers use this substance because the reaction of the product on the skin is an exothermic one. This produces a feeling of warmth and heat. Heating an injury like a sprain with warmth or heat increases blood flow to the area and promotes healing as the flow of blood carries the necessary substances for healing.

A mixture contains only nacl and al2(so4)3. a 1.45 g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an excess of naoh is added

Aleks [24]

When mixture of NaCl and Al₂(SO₄)₃ is allowed to react with excess NaOH, only Al₂(SO₄)₃ reacts with it and NaCl does not react with NaOH due to presence of common ion (Na⁺). On reaction gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)₃] is produced. The balanced chemical reaction is represented as-

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6NaOH → 2Al(OH)₃ + 3Na₂SO₄

On this reaction, 0.495 g = 0.495/78 moles =6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃.

As per balanced reaction, two moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from one mole Al₂(SO₄)₃. So, 6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from (6.346 X 10⁻³)/2 moles=3.173 X 10⁻³ moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃= 3.173 X 10⁻³ X 342 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃=1.085 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃.

So, mass percentage of Al₂(SO₄)₃ is= (amount of Al₂(SO₄)₃/total amount of mixture)X100 = $\frac{1.085 X 100}{1.45}$ =74.8 %.

A sample of H2 gas (12.28 g) occupies 100.0 L at 400.0 K and 2.00 atm. A sample weighing 9.49 g occupies ________ L at 353 K and

Considering the ideal gas law, a sample weighing 9.49 g occupies 68.67 L at 353 K and 2.00 atm.

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of the gases:

P× V = n× R× T

In this case, you know:

P= 2 atm
V= ?
n= $9.49 gramsx\frac{1 mole}{2 grams} = 4.745moles$ being 2g/mole the molar mass of H2, that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.
R= 0.082 $\frac{atmL}{molK}$
T= 353 K
