Consider a cloudless day on which the sun shines down across the United States. If 2014 kJ of energy reaches a square meter( m 2

) of the United States in one hour, how much total solar energy reaches the entire United States per hour? The entire area of the United States is 9,158,960 km 2 .

Answer:

      \large\boxed{\large\boxed{18,450kJ/hour}}

Explanation:

1) <em><u>Radiation</u></em><u>'s ratio</u>: 2014 kJ/m²

2) <em><u>United States'</u></em><u> area</u>:  is 9,158,960 km² .

3) <u>Formula:</u>

  • Energy = ratio × area

4) <u>Conversion factor</u>:

         (1km)^2=(1,000m)2\\\\1km^2=1,000,000m^2\\\\1=1km^2/1,000,000m^2

5) <u>Solve</u>:

In one hour:

             E=2,014kJ/m^2\times 9,158,960km^2\times  1km^2/1,000,000m^2\\\\E=18,446kJ\approx 18,450kJ

That is per hour.

The answer is rounded to 4 signficant figures.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminum and water to produce hydrogen gas: 2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H
lianna [129]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of 1.83 grams of Al

Mass of NaOH = 4.30 grams

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation:

2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H2(g)

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of Al

Moles Al = mass Al / Molar mass Al

Moles Al = 1.83 grams / 26.98 g/mol

Moles Al = 0.0678 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of NaOH

Moles NaOH = 4.30 grams / 40 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.1075 moles

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate limiting reactant

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH

Aluminium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.0678 moles)

NaOH is in excess. There will react 0.0678 moles

There will remain 0.1075 - 0.0678 = 0.0397 moles

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate moles of hydrogen

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH, to produce 3 moles of hydrogen

For 0.0678 moles of Al, there is produced 0.0678 *3/2 = 0.1017 moles of H2

<u>Step 7</u>: Calculate mass of H2

Mass of H2 = Moles H2 * Molar mass of H2

Mass of H2 = 0.1017 moles * 2.02 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 0.205 grams

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams
