Answer:

Wood is technically a renewable source of energy, since it is a form of biomass. All biomass is traditionally considered a renewable source of energy because it is part of the natural carbon cycle on Earth.

He predicted an element with an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum that he name

skad [1K]

Answer:

Scandium

Explanation:

Mendeleev played an important role in the development of the modern periodic table. His periodic table was filled with gaps. He said that these gaps were elements that were yet to be discovered. He rightly predicted many elements which have now been discovered and fitted in their proper places in the periodic table.

He used the prefix ''eka'' to refer to elements whose properties were alike but were yet to be discovered at that time.

The compound named ekaboron which he predicted to have an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum was later discovered in 1879 and properly named scandium.

3. After 7.9 grams of sodium are dropped into a bathtub full of water, how many grams of hydrogen gas are released?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

3) About 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas.

4) About 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide.

Explanation:

Question 3)

We are given that 7.9 grams of sodium is dropped into a bathtub of water, and we want to determine how many grams of hydrogen gas is released.

Since sodium is higher than hydrogen on the activity series, sodium will replace hydrogen in a single-replacement reaction for sodium oxide. Hence, our equation is:

$\displaystyle \text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}$

To balance it, we can simply add another sodium atom on the left. Hence:

$\displaystyle 2\text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}$

To convert from grams of sodium to grams of hydrogen gas, we can convert from sodium to moles of sodium, use the mole ratios to find moles in hydrogen gas, and then use hydrogen's molar mass to find its amount in grams.

The molar mass of sodium is 22.990 g/mol. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}$

From the chemical equation, we can see that two moles of sodium produce one mole of hydrogen gas. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}$

And the molar mass of hydrogen gas is 2.016 g/mol. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}$

Given the initial value and the above ratios, this yields:

$\displaystyle 7.9\text{ g Na}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}$

Cancel like units:

$=\displaystyle 7.9\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{22.990}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1}$

Multiply. Hence:

$=0.3463...\text{ g H$_2$}$

Since we should have two significant values:

$=0.35\text{ g H$_2$}$

So, about 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas will be released.

Question 4)

Excess oxygen gas is added to 34.5 grams of aluminum and produces aluminum oxide. Hence, our chemical equation is:

$\displaystyle \text{O$_2$} + \text{Al} \rightarrow \text{Al$_2$O$_3$}$

To balance this, we can place a three in front of the oxygen, four in front of aluminum, and two in front of aluminum oxide. Hence:

$\displaystyle3\text{O$_2$} + 4\text{Al} \rightarrow 2\text{Al$_2$O$_3$}$

To convert from grams of aluminum to grams of aluminum oxide, we can convert aluminum to moles, use the mole ratios to find the moles of aluminum oxide, and then use its molar mass to determine the amount of grams.

The molar mass of aluminum is 26.982 g/mol. Thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}$

According to the equation, four moles of aluminum produces two moles of aluminum oxide. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}$

And the molar mass of aluminum oxide is 101.961 g/mol. Hence: $\displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}$

Using the given value and the above ratios, we acquire:

$\displaystyle 34.5\text{ g Al}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}$

Cancel like units:

$\displaystyle= \displaystyle 34.5\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{26.982}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2}{4}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1}$

Multiply:

$\displaystyle = 65.1852... \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}$

Since the resulting value should have three significant figures:

$\displaystyle = 65.2 \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}$

So, approximately 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide is produced.

The molarity of a 2 liter aqueous solution that contains 222.2 grams of dissolved calcium chloride ( CaCl2), expressed with two

sveta [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1 M

Explanation:

Data

Molarity = ?

mass of CaCl₂ = 222.2 g

Volume = 2 l

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of CaCl₂

CaCl₂ = 40 + (35.5 x 2) = 40 + 71 = 111 g

2.- Calculate the moles of CaCl₂

111g of CaCl₂ ---------------- 1 mol

222.2 f of CaCl₂ ---------------- x

x = (222.2 x 1) / 111

x = 222.2 / 111

x = 2 moles

3.- Calculate the Molarity

Molarity = moles / Volume

-Substitution

Molarity = 2/2

-Result

Molarity = 1

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide dissolved in molten cryolit

natka813 [3]

The given question incomplete, the complete question is:

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide (Al,03) dissolved in molten cryolite (Na, Alts).re in the reduction of the Al, o, to pure aluminum. Suppose a current of 1800. A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 37.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.2114 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the value of current or I have given is 1800 amperes, the time given is 37 seconds, and there is a need to find the mass of the pure aluminum generated in the process. Mass or weight can be determined by using Faraday's first law equation, that is, w = MIt/nF.

Here, M is the atomic mass, w is the weight of the substance deposited, t is time, I is current, n is the number of moles of the electron, and F is the Faraday's constant, which is 96500 C. In the process mentioned in the question, aluminum oxide is reduced to give rise to pure aluminum, and in the process 3 electrons are gained. So, the value of n will be 3. The M or the atomic mass of Al is 27 gm per mole. Now putting the values in the equation we get,

w = 27*1800*37 / 3*96500

w = 1798200 / 289500

w = 6.2114 grams

Hence, pure aluminum produced in the process is 6.2114 grams.
