Photosynethesis, respiration, and combustion.
Exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat or light
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:
Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller subatomic particles. When protons or neutrons get close enough to each other, they exchange particles (mesons), binding them together. Once they are bound, it takes considerable energy to break them apart.
