Water boils when the vapor pressure of the water equals the atmospheric pressure that's pressing down on it. Water boils at a lower temperature (more easily) at higher elevations (like on mountains), because:
- Atmospheric pressure is lower at higher elevation
- Easier for vapor pressure to equal this lower atmospheric pressure
Since the water boils at a lower temperature, it takes longer for the pasta to cook.
Answer:The best answer is D. breakdown of rock through mechanical or chemical processes
Explanation:
Leftover: approximately 11.73 g of sulfuric acid.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Which reactant is <em>in excess</em>?
The theoretical yield of water from Al(OH)₃ is lower than that from H₂SO₄. As a result,
- Al(OH)₃ is the limiting reactant.
- H₂SO₄ is in excess.
How many <em>moles</em> of H₂SO₄ is consumed?
Balanced equation:
2 Al(OH)₃ + 3 H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6 H₂O
Each mole of Al(OH)₃ corresponds to 3/2 moles of H₂SO4. The formula mass of Al(OH)₃ is 78.003 g/mol. There are 15 / 78.003 = 0.19230 moles of Al(OH)₃ in the five grams of Al(OH)₃ available. Al(OH)₃ is in excess, meaning that all 0.19230 moles will be consumed. Accordingly, 0.19230 × 3/2 = 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ will be consumed.
How many <em>grams</em> of H₂SO₄ is consumed?
The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.076 g.mol. The mass of 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ is 0.28845 × 98.076 = 28.289 g.
How many <em>grams</em> of H₂SO₄ is in excess?
40 grams of sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is available. 28.289 grams is consumed. The remaining 40 - 28.289 = 11.711 g is in excess. That's closest to the first option: 11.73 g of sulfuric acid.
Answer:
c.11.43 g of aluminum hydroxide
Explanation:
We can use the reactivity series of metals to solve this.
The reactivity series of metals are (in descending order) :
Potassium, sodium, Lithium, calcium, Magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, tin, lead, copper, mercury, silver, platinum, gold.
Since Potassium is the most reactive, the reaction with water should produce extremely violent gas.
Sodium is the next most reactive, so it should produce violent gas.
And Lithium is the least reactive out of the 3 metals, so it should be strong gas formation.
In addition, the gas produced should be hydrogen, since the reaction of metals should water should produce "metal name" hydroxide + hydrogen.
