Based on Faraday's 1st law of electrolysis,
total electric current passed in AlCl3 = I = Q X T
where Q = electric charge, T = time (in seconds)
Given, Q = 15 A, T = 3.5 h = 3.5 X 60 X 60 s = 12600 s
∴ I = 15 X 12600 = 189000 C

Now, based on Faraday's 2nd law of electrolysis we have,
W = ZIT
where, W= weight of electrolyte deposited/evolved at any electrode
Z= electrochemical equivalent
T= time (s)
I = electric current 
in present case, Electrochemical Equivalent of Al = \frac{26.98}{3} = 8.993 g and I = 189000 C
∴ W = 8.993 X 189000 X 12600 = 2.141X 10^{10} g

Identify which best describes the energy used to pluck guitar strings to make sound. A) electrity b) electromagnetic c) heat d)
DochEvi [55]

The capability to do work is said to be energy. It can neither be created nor be destroyed according to law of conservation of energy. Energy exist in different forms depends upon the work to be done such as potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, heat energy etc.

Now, when the guitarist plucks the guitar strings to make sound, he uses mechanical energy and when guitarist plucks the guitar strings guitar produces sound energy also.

Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.

An experiment shows that a 236 mL gas sample has a mass of 0.443 g at a pressure of 740 mmHg and a temperature of 22 ∘C. What is
aleksley [76]

Answer:

49.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's first take account of what we have and convert them into the correct units.

Volume= 236 mL x (\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}) = .236 L

Pressure= 740 mm Hg x (\frac{1 atm}{760 mm Hg})= 0.97 atm

Temperature= 22C + 273= 295 K

mass= 0.443 g

Molar mass is in grams per mole, or MM= \frac{mass}{moles} or MM= \frac{m}{n}. They're all the same.

We have mass (0.443 g) we just need moles. We can find moles with the ideal gas constant PV=nRT. We want to solve for n, so we'll rearrange it to be

n=\frac{PV}{RT}, where R (constant)= 0.082 L atm mol-1 K-1

Let's plug in what we know.

n=\frac{(0.97 atm)(0.236 L)}{(0.082)(295K)}

n= 0.009 mol

Let's look back at MM= \frac{m}{n} and plug in what we know.

MM= \frac{0.443 g}{0.009 mol}

MM= 49.2 g/mol

Calculate the amount of heat released in the combustion of 10.5 grams of Al with 3 grams of O2 to form Al2O3(s) at 25°C and 1 at
ElenaW [278]

Answer : The amount of heat released in the combustion is, 209.5 kJ

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of Al and O_2.

\text{ Moles of }Al=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Al}{\text{ Molar mass of }Al}=\frac{10.5g}{27g/mole}=0.389moles

\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{3g}{32g/mole}=0.188moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

4Al+3O_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of O_2 react with 4 mole of Al

So, 0.188 moles of O_2 react with \frac{4}{3}\times 0.188=0.251 moles of Al

From this we conclude that, Al is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of Al_2O_3

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 mole of O_2 react to give 2 mole of Al_2O_3

So, 0.188 moles of O_2 react to give \frac{2}{3}\times 0.188=0.125 moles of Al_2O_3

Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released in the combustion.

As, 1 mole of Al_2O_3 releases amount of heat = 1676 kJ

So, 0.125 mole of Al_2O_3 releases amount of heat = 0.125\times 1676kJ=209.5kJ

Thus, the amount of heat released in the combustion is, 209.5 kJ

An alkene adds hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to give 3,4-dimethylhexane. Ozonolysis of the alkene followed by treatment
slamgirl [31]

The structure of alkene is given below in the image.

Alkenes are described as both branched or unbranched hydrocarbons that possess at least one carbon-carbon double bond (CC) and feature a popular system of CnH2n [1].

Alkanes are organic compounds that encompass single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms. The formulation for Alkanes is CnH2n+2, subdivided into 3 companies – chain alkanes, cycloalkanes, and branched alkanes.

The geometry around each carbon atom is based totally on a trigonal planar shape, due to the fact, that each carbon has three electrons around it. This must make the angle of each bond one hundred twenty.
