Calculate the number of moles in a 2.98 g sample of aluminum.

Ksju [112]

Molar mass Aluminium ( Al) = 26.98 g/mol

1 mole ------------ 26.98 g
? mole ----------- 2.98 g

moles Al = 2.98 x 1 / 26.98

moles Al = 2.98 / 26.98

= 0.110 moles

hope this helps!

4). One mole of monoclinic sulfur at 25C was placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter whose heat capacity (C) was 1620 J/K. T

andre [41]

Answer: The enthalpy change of the reaction is -243 J/mol

Explanation:

The heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the calorimeter and the solution.

The chemical equation used to calculate the heat released follows:

$q=c\times \Delta T$

where,

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 1620 J/K

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $0.150^oC=0.150K$ (Change remains same)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=1620J/K\times 0.15K=243J$

Sign convention of heat:

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

For the given chemical reaction:

$S\text{ (monoclinic)}\rightarrow S\text{ (orthorhombic)}$

We are given:

Moles of monoclinic sulfur = 1 mole

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = -243 J

n = number of moles = 1 mole

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-243J}{1mol}=-243J/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -243 J/mol

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58 Da) would you have to dissolve in 50ml to make a 2M stock solution? Answer:

Lerok [7]

Answer:

5.8 g

Explanation:

Molecular weight in Daltons is equivalent to the molecular weight in grams per mole.

The amount of NaCl required is calculated as follows:

(2 mol/L)(50 mL)(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.1 mol

This amount is converted to grams using the molar mass (58 g/mol).

(0.1 mol)(58 g/mol) = 5.8 g

How does a screw make the work of fastening two objects together easier? A. The screw changes the direction of a force - it conv

Pachacha [2.7K]

D. The screw changes the direction of a force - it converts linear force into rotational force. It also reduces the force required - the closer the threads, the smaller the input force required to get the same output force.

Draw the major organic product in the reaction scheme below. Be sure to clearly show stereochemistry (if applicable).

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

You are missing the reaction scheme, but in picture 1, I found a question very similar to this, and after look into some other pages, I found the same scheme reaction, so I'm gonna work on this one, to show you how to solve it. Hopefully it will be the one you are asking.

According to the reaction scheme, in the first step we have NaNH2/NH3(l). This reactant is used to substract the most acidic hydrogen in the alkine there. In this case, it will substract the hydrogen from the carbon in the triple bond leaving something like this:

R: cyclopentane

R - C ≡ C (-)

Now, in the second step, this new product will experiment a SN2 reaction, and will attack to the CH3 - I forming another alkine as follow:

R - C ≡ C - CH3

Finally in the last step, Na in NH3 are reactants to promvove the hydrogenation of alkines. In this case, it will undergo hydrogenation in the triple bond and will form an alkene:

R - CH = CH - CH3

In picture 2, you have the reaction and mechanism.
