<u>Answer:</u> The mass of excess reagent (ammonium chloride) remained after the reaction is 62.7 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For aluminium nitrite:</u>

Given mass of aluminium nitrite = 27.4 g

Molar mass of aluminium nitrite = 41 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of aluminium nitrite}=\frac{27.4g}{41g/mol}=0.668mol

  • <u>For ammonium chloride:</u>

Given mass of ammonium chloride = 169.9 g

Molar mass of ammonium chloride = 53.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of ammonium chloride}=\frac{169.9g}{53.5g/mol}=3.176mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of aluminium nitrite and ammonium chloride follows:

Al(NO_2)_3+3NH_4Cl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3N_2+6H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium nitrite reacts with 3 moles of ammonium chloride

So, 0.668 moles of aluminium nitrite will react with = \frac{3}{1}\times 0.668=2.004mol of ammonium chloride.

As, given amount of ammonium chloride is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium nitrite is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Excess moles of ammonium chloride = (3.176 - 2.004) mol = 1.172 moles

Calculating the mass of ammonium chloride by using equation 1, we get:

Excess moles of ammonium chloride = 1.172 moles

Molar mass of ammonium chloride = 53.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.172mol=\frac{\text{Mass of ammonium chloride}}{53.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of ammonium chloride}=(1.172mol\times 53.5g/mol)=62.7g

Hence, the mass of excess reagent (ammonium chloride) remained after the reaction is 62.7 grams

Which of the following pairs of atoms do NOT exhibit a covalent bond?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The answer is Cs and F. S and O  are both non-metals and if I am not mistaken they are both on the right side of the periodic table. S and O exhibit a covalent bond, the other pairs do too except for the first pair of atoms.  Therefore, the answer is  A. Cs and F.

Consider the reaction PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g). If 0.02 moles of PCl5, 0.04 moles of PCl3, and 0.08 moles of Cl2 are combined
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The reaction quotient (Q) before the reaction is 0.32

Explanation:

Being the reaction:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where Q is the so-called reaction quotient and the concentrations expressed in it are not those of the equilibrium but those of the different reagents and products at a certain instant of the reaction.

The concentration will be calculated by:

Concentration=\frac{number of moles of solute}{Volume}

You know  the reaction:

PCl₅ (g) ⇌ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g).

So:

Q=\frac{[PCl_{3} ] *[Cl_{2} ] }{[PCl_{5} ]}

The concentrations are:

  • [PCl₃]=\frac{0.04 moles}{0.5 L} =0.08 \frac{moles}{L}
  • [Cl₂]=\frac{0.08 moles}{0.5 L} =0.16 \frac{moles}{L}
  • [PCl₅]=\frac{0.02 moles}{0.5 L} =0.04 \frac{moles}{L}

Replacing:

Q=\frac{0.08*0.16}{0.04}

Solving:

Q= 0.32

<u><em>The reaction quotient (Q) before the reaction is 0.32</em></u>

A solution of KMnO4 has an absorbance of 0.539 when measured in the colorimeter. Determine the concentration of the KMnO4 given
loris [4]

Answer:

Concentration of unknown solution is 0.0416 M

Explanation:

As we know  

Absorbance is equal to the product of molar absorptivity of KMnO4 m, path length and concentration

From the given set of graphical data, it is clear that the absorbance vs concentration is a straight line.  

From the graph, we can obtain-  

Y = 5.73 X – 0.0065

Absorbance = 0.232

0.232 = 5.73 X – 0.0065

X = 0.0416  

Concentration of unknown solution is 0.0416 M
