You're looking for the number of moles of H2, and you have 6.0 mol Al and 13 mol HCL.

For the first part, you have to make your way from 6.0 mol of Al to mol of H2, right? For that to happen, you need to make a conversion factor that will cancel the mol Al, in such case use the 2 moles of Al from your equation to cancel them out. At the top of the equation, you can use the number of moles of H2 from the equation and find the moles that will be produced for the H2.

6.0mol Al x 3 mol H2/2 mol Al = 9 mol H2

For the second part, you have to make the same procedure, make a conversion factor that will cancel the mol of HCL and for that you need to use the 6 mol HCL from your equation, and at the numerator you can put the 3 mol of H2 from the equation so that you can find the number of moles of H2 that will be produced.

13 mol HCL x 3 mol H2/6 mol HCL = 6.5 mol H2

As it can be seen, HCL produces the less amount of H2 moles. Therefore, the reaction CANNOT produce more than 6.5 mol H2, in that case 6.5 mol will be the maximum number of moles that will be produced at the end because HCL does not have enough to produce more than 6.5 mol.

In that case HCL is the limiting reactant because it limits that will be produced, and so the answer is B!

Taking into account the scientific notation, the result of the sum is 10.84300×10³.

Scientific notation

First, remember that scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten.

The numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

Sum in scientific notation

You want to add two numbers in scientific notation. It should be noted that when the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is 3.

Then all the values are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 9.7300×10²= 0.97300×10³

Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is add what was previously called the number "a". In this case:

0.97300×10³ + 9.8700×10³= (0.97300+ 9.8700)×10³= 10.84300×10³

Finally, the result of the sum is 10.84300×10³.

1) What mass of Na2CO3 is required to make 50cc of its seminormal solution?

love history [14]

Answer:

$m=1.325gNa_2CO_3$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by considering the given seminormal solution, we infer it is a 0.5-N solution which means that we can obtain the equivalent grams as shown below for the 55 cc (0.055 L) volume:

$eq-g=0.5eq-g/L*0.050L=0.025eq-g$

Next, since sodium carbonate has two sodium ions with a +1 oxidation state each, we can obtain the moles:

$mol=0.025eq-gNa_2CO_3*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2eq-gNa_2CO_3}\\ \\mol=0.0125molNa_2CO_3$

Finally, the mass is computed by using its molar mass (106 g/mol)

$m=0.0125molNa_2CO_3*\frac{106gNa_2CO_3}{1molNa_2CO_3} \\\\m=1.325gNa_2CO_3$

Regards.

Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

$P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}$
