A mixture contains only nacl and al2(so4)3. a 1.45 g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an excess of naoh is added

, producing a precipitate of al(oh)3. the precipitate is filtered, dried, and weighed. the mass of the precipitate is 0.495 g. what is the mass percent of al2(so4)3 in the sample?

When mixture of NaCl and Al₂(SO₄)₃ is allowed to react with excess NaOH, only Al₂(SO₄)₃ reacts with it and NaCl does not react with NaOH due to presence of common ion (Na⁺). On reaction gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)₃] is produced.  The balanced chemical reaction is represented as-

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6NaOH → 2Al(OH)₃ + 3Na₂SO₄

On this reaction, 0.495 g = 0.495/78 moles =6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃.

As per balanced reaction, two moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from one mole Al₂(SO₄)₃. So, 6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from (6.346 X 10⁻³)/2 moles=3.173 X 10⁻³ moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃= 3.173 X 10⁻³ X 342 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃=1.085 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃.

So, mass percentage of Al₂(SO₄)₃ is= (amount of Al₂(SO₄)₃/total amount of mixture)X100 = \frac{1.085 X 100}{1.45} =74.8 %.

Micky Mo is a 64-year-old male admitted to the emergency room for asthma. His laboratory results are as follows: pH 7.31, pCO2 h
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.

Explanation:

The pCO2 level in micky"s body is higher than normal it means the excess amount of  CO2 will reacts with water to generate carbonic acid(H2CO3).

  On the other hand according to the question total HCO3- also higher than normal.As a result the excess HCO3- will react with proton to form carbonic acid which is in turn dissociate to generate CO2 and H2O to maintain normal acid base homeostasis.

 From that point of view it can be said Micky Mo is suffering from respiratory acidosis.

What two things must you specify when describing the velocity of an object
kati45 [8]

When describing the velocity of an object, you must specify the both the speed and the direction.

That’s because <em>velocity is a vector</em>: it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.

If you say that a object is travelling southwest at 70 km/s, you are giving its velocity.

If you say that it is travelling at 70 km/s, you are giving its speed.
