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 %.

The mass of .10 moles of iron is:
Stels [109]

Answer:

<em>so mass in gram=560grams</em>

Explanation:

number of moles=10moles

molar mass=56grams/moles

mass in gram of Fe=?

as we know that

number of moles=\frac{mass in gram}{molar mass}

<em>evaluating the formula</em>

<em>number of moles×molar mass=mass in gram</em>

<em>mass in gram=10moles×56grams/moles</em>

<em>mass in gram=560grams</em>

<em>i hope this will help you :)</em>

Bacteria that live around deep-sea hot-water vents obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic hydrogen sulfide belched out by the vent
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

<h2>chemoautotrophs</h2>

Explanation:

Such types of bacteria that oxidize inorganic compounds to obtain energy and use carbon dioxide as a carbon source to synthesize their food are known as chemoautotrophs such as iron-oxidizing bacteria, cyanobacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and some other. Chemoautrophic mode of nutrition is a type of autotrophic nutrition in which organisms have the ability to synthesized their own food by using chemical energy in the place of solar energy. The organismS that use solar energy to synthesize their food are known as photoautotrophic organisms such as plants and some other organisms.

Give me a summary on the big bang theory -Science
Elza [17]
The Big Bang is a scientific theory about how the universe started, and then made the stars and galaxies we see today. ... Then about 13.8 billion years ago, space expanded very quickly (thus the name "Big Bang"). This started the formation of atoms, which eventually led to the formation of stars and galaxies.
