To calculate the molar mass of a gas, without knowing density, we would alter the equation:

PV = (mass / molar mass)(RT)

we know density and the units are mass / volume

altering the equation to accommodate density


PV= mass x RT x molar mass.....taking note that mass / volume = density, g/L

P = dRT / molar mass

solving for molar mass:

molar mass = dRT/P

3.44g/L x 0.0821L-atm/mole-K x 273K / 1atm = molar mass = 77.1g/mole

If 16.0 grams of aluminum oxide were actually produced, what is the percent yield of the reaction below given that you start wit
Svetllana [295]

Answer: The percent of yield is 50.03%.

Explanation:

First, we need to balance the equation:

4Al + 3O_{2} ⇒ 2Al_{2}O_{3}

We need to remember that the chemical equations are written in moles, so we have to convert the amounts in grams to moles, using the molecular weight of every compound: Al2O3 (101.96 g/mol), Al (29.98 g/mol) and O2 (31.99 g/mol).

In consequence, the amounts in moles of every compound will be:

16 gAl_{2}O_{3} * \frac{1 mol}{101.96 g} =0.157 mol Al_{2}O_{3}

10 g Al * \frac{1mol}{29.98 g}= 0.333 mol Al

19 g O_{2}*\frac{1 mol}{31.99 g} =0.594 mol O_{2}

Now, we have to find out which is the limit reagent or in other words, which of the reagents will be consumed first, taking into account the stoichiometric ratio of the balanced equation:

0.333 mol Al * \frac{2 mol Al_{2}O_{3}}{4 mol Al} =0.1665 mol Al_{2}O_{3}

0.594 mol O_{2} * \frac{2 mol Al_{2}O_{3}}{3 mol O_{2}} =0.396 mol Al_{2}O_{3}

As you can see, the maximum amount (theoretically) of Al2O3 that can be produced is 0.1665 mol.

Finally, we have to use the yield formula to calculate the percent yield of the reaction:

Percent of yield = \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} * 100 = \frac{0.157 mol Al_{2}O_{3}}{0.1665 mol Al_{2}O_{3}} * 100 = 94.25

Therefore, the percent of yield is 50.03%.

Global warming is a theory accepted by a majority of scientists.How can local environmental changes have global effects?
meriva

The local environmental changes are having a global effect, and that is well documented and constantly witnessed. The reason why local environmental changes can have such a big impact is that the gasses move freely throughout all of the planet, they move horizontally with the winds, and they also move vertically higher into the atmosphere which is in constant movement.

This results in a situation where one area produces lot of pollution, but another area is feeling the effects because the air masses moved big portion of the polluters there.

A nice example are China and Mongolia. China is one of the two major polluters in the world, while Mongolia barely has any industry especially when considered its size and population. The air masses though are moving from the southeast towards northwest, thus big portion of the pollution in the eastern part of China goes into Mongolia. Because of this, despite not being a big polluter, Mongolia has one of the worst air qualities in the world.

Also, we can witness that the holes in the ozone layer are mostly around the poles, despite the sources of the chemicals that are damaging it are on totaly different locations.

How do subscripts represent the charge balance of ions
finlep [7]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>
  • To balance the charges of ions the number of electrons lost is equal to the number of electrons gained. The overall net charge must be zero.
  • The number of ions needed to accomplish this is represented by the subscripts.
  • For any given ionic compound, the product of the charge on the ion (or multiatomic ionic group) times the subscript of the ion will give a total charge of zero when all ions are considered.

For examples: NaCl Na = +1 Cl = -1 total is zero

The density of 300 mL of water was determined, and then 15 grams of sodium nitrate was dissolved in the water. The student deter
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

the sodium nitrate in this investigation is

a) the solute

b) undergoing chemical change

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

generally, solute is the substance which is added in solvent.

The substance which is taken in relatively more volume is the solvent.

so, here sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) is the solute which is dissolved in water (H₂O) , which is solvent.

The reaction between them is :

NaNO₃ + H₂O ⇒ Na⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) ;     (aq) denotes aqueous;

so, here sodium nitrate undergoes chemical change into aqueous sodium ions(Na⁺) and aqueous nitrate ions(NO₃⁻).
