<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

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.

Number 4 is
-Oxidation occurs at the anode, while reduction occurs at the cathode. Recharging a battery involves the conversion of electrical energy to chemical energy. During recharging, there is movement of electrons from an external power source to the anode, and on the other side electrons are removed from the cathode.
