Answer:

10.1 g of Al are formed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2AlCl3 --> 2Al + 3Cl2

So 2 moles of aluminun chloride decompose into 2 moles of Al and 3 moles of chlorine.

Ratio is 2:2.

Let's convert the mass of salt into moles (mass / molar mass)

50 g / 133.34 g/mol = 0.374 moles.

As the ratio is 2: 2, if I have 0.374 moles of salt, I would produce the same amount of Al, just 0.374.

Let's convert the moles to mass

(Mol . molar mass)

0.374 mol . 26.98 g / mol = 10.1 g of Al are formed

Answer:

A) 0.065 M is its molarity after a reaction time of 19.0 hour.

B) In 52 hours $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ will react 69% of its initial concentration.

Explanation:

$Co(NH_3)_5(H_2O)_3+[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}(Purple)(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_5(H_2O)]^{3+}(Pinkish-orange)(aq)+Br^-(aq)$

The reaction is first order in $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ :

Initial concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ = $[A_o]=0.100 M$

a) Final concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ after 19.0 hours= $[A]$

t = 19.0 hour = 19.0 × 3600 seconds ( 1 hour = 3600 seconds)

Rate constant of the reaction = k = $6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}$

The integrated law of first order kinetic is given as:

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$[A]=0.100 M\times e^{-6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}\times 19.0\times 3600 s}$

$[A]=0.065 M$

0.065 M is its molarity after a reaction time of 19.0 h.

Initial concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ = $[A_o]=x$

Final concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ after t = $[A]=(100\%-69\%) x=31\%x=0.31x$

Rate constant of the reaction = k = $6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}$

The integrated law of first order kinetic is given as:

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$0.31x=x\times e^{-6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}\t}$

t = 185,902.06 s = $\frac{185,902.06 }{3600} hour = 51.64 hours$ ≈ 52 hours

In 52 hours $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ will react 69% of its initial concentration.

Describe the pattern that thermal energy follows as it moves

mars1129 [50]

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heatflows from the hotter to the cooler object. Heat is energy on the move. 
Units of heat are units of energy. The SI unit of energy is Joule. Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

Heavy nuclides with too few neutrons to be in the band of stability are most likely to decay by what mode?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Positron emission

Explanation:

Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.

A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.
