Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g
Mass of water = 5.67g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.
Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;
Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃
Number of moles;
Number of moles = 
molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole
number of moles =
= 0.04mole
molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole
number of moles =
= 0.32mole
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O
0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O
But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.
This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant
Answer : The Bronsted-Lowry theory was not against the Arrhenius theory, rather it was just a modification to the previous theory of acids and bases. Hydroxide ions are considered as bases because they have the tendency to accept hydrogen ions from acids and form water.
An acid was the one which produces hydrogen ions in solution because it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them.
In a nutshell, he described bases as hydrogen acceptor and acids as hydrogen donors.
when forces are balanced the object does not move.
Explanation:
if you and your friend push both sides of the chair at the same time with the same amount of strength the chair wouldn't move.
Answer:
This is because, the is less chance of trapping impurities in the developing crystal lattice
