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
1 answer:
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 = =74.8 %.

This problem is describing a gas mixture whose mole fraction of hexane in nitrogen is 0.58 and which is being fed to a condenser at 75 °C and 3.0 atm, obtaining a product at 3.0 atm and 20 °C, so that the removed heat from the system is required.
In this case, it is recommended to write the enthalpy for each substance as follows:
Whereas the specific heat of liquid and gaseous n-hexane are about 200 J/(mol*K) and 160 J/(mol*K) respectively, its condensation enthalpy is 31.5 kJ/mol, boiling point is 69 °C and the specific heat of gaseous nitrogen is about 29.1 J/(mol*K) according to the NIST data tables and and
are the mole fractions in the gaseous mixture. Next, we proceed to the calculation of both heat terms as shown below:
It is seen that the heat released by the nitrogen is neglectable in comparison to n-hexanes, however, a rigorous calculation is being presented. Then, we add the previously calculated enthalpies to compute the amount of heat that is removed by the condenser:
Finally we convert this result to kJ:
