<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

Irina18 [472]
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.

Total distance is 50 m + 150 m + 300 m = 500 m
Total time is 68 s + 35 s + 22 s = 125 s

Average speed is 500 m / 125 s = 4 m/s

A patient receives an injection of 2.0 ml of anesthetic. what is the equivalent of this volume in cubic centimeters?
maxonik [38]
The conversion for cm³ to ml is:
1 cubic centimetre = 1 millimetre
Therefore,
2 cubic centimetres = 2.0 millimetres
And so, your answer is E (but the cm should be cm³).

What is the hydrogen concentration of a solution with a pH of 2.1?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

8×10^(-3) mol/L

Explanation:

The formula for finding the hydrogen ion concentration is...

[H⁺] = 10^-ph

[H⁺] = 10^(-2.1)

[H⁺] = 0.00794...mol/L = 8×10^(-3) mol/L

The answer is to 1 significant digit because the pH has one decimal place.

I Need Help ASAP! 50 POINTS!!!
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The answer is

3.313 \times  {10}^{ - 19}  \:  \:  \: J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon can be found by using the formula

<h3>E = hv</h3>

where

E is the energy

v is the frequency

h is the Planck's constant which is

6.626 × 10-³⁴ Js

From the question

v = 5.0 × 10¹⁴ Hz

So the energy is

E = 5.0 \times  {10}^{14}  \times 6.626 \times {10}^{ - 34}  \\

We have the final answer as

3.313 \times  {10}^{ - 19}  \:  \:  \: J

Hope this helps you
