Answer:

  • <u><em>H₂O</em></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Chemical quation</u>

The reaction of aluminium, sodium hydroxide and water is represented by the balanced chemical equation:

  • 2Al(s) + 2NaOH(s) + 6H₂O(l) → 2Na[Al(OH)₄] (aq) + 3H₂(g) ↑

The coefficients of each reactant and product give the theoretical mole ratios.

To find the limiting reactant you compare the theoretical ratios with the ratio of the available substaces.

<u>2. Theoretical mole ratio:</u>

  • 2 mol Al : 2 mol NaOH : 6 mol H₂O

Equivalent to

  • 1 mol Al : 1 mol NaOH : 3 mol H₂O

<u>3. Actual ratio</u>

a) Convert each mass to number of moles

Formula:

  • number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

Al:

  • molar mass = atomic mass = 26.982g/mol
  • number of moles = 51.0g / 26.982g/mol = 1.89 mol

NaOH:

  • molar mass = 39.997g/mol
  • number of moles = 84.1g / 39.997g/mol = 2.10 mol

H₂O:

  • molar mass = 18.015g/mol
  • number of moles = 25.0g / 18.015g/mol = 1.39 mol

Divide all the mole amounts by the least number:

  • Al: 1.89/1.39 = 1.36
  • NaOH: 2.10 = 1.52
  • H₂O: 1.39 = 1.00

  • 1.36 mol Al : 1.52 mol NaOH : 1.00 mol H₂O

<u>4. Comparison</u>

<u />

Theoretical ratio:

  • 1 mol Al : 1 mol NaOH : 3 mol H₂O

Actual ratio:

  • 1.36 mol Al : 1.52 mol NaOH : 1.00 mol H₂O

     Multiply by 3:

  • 4.08 mol Al : 4.56 mol NaOH : 3.00 mol H₂O

Now, yo can see that the first two are in excess with respect the third one, making that the water consumes first, before any of the other two consumes. Therefore, the limiting reactant is the water.

As a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior, the particles _____
Alik [6]

Answer:

Have some attraction towards each other

Explanation:

Gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior because their molecules have forces of attraction between them. At high pressure, the molecules of gases are very close to each other so the molecular interactions start operating and these molecules do not strike the walls of the container with full impact.

Hope this helps :-)

When magnesium loses it's valence electrons, it has the atomic structure of what element?
Arte-miy333 [17]

As far as I can tell the best answer for this would be (A) Neon. However, I would argue that this is at the very least a misleading question. Atoms are less identified by their electrons than their protons (which is represented always by its atomic number).  Although atoms can gain or lose electrons, the protons would never change (and remain the same element). Personally, I would have written the question as, "When Magnesium loses its valence electrons, its new number of electrons would most closely resemble _____"

This is most found commonly in cereal grains. Phytic acid is discovered in the year 1903, a soaked cyclic acid, is the main storage form of phosphorus in numerous plant tissues, particularly in bran and seeds. It can be found in cereals and grain fibers.

2. How do we know if a hypothesis is scientific?
antoniya [11.8K]
The hypothesis can’t be a opinion or something that has nothing to do with your work

For example;if you want to see if your toilet paper is sturdy and you say “i think it will cause the commercial says it does” (wrong) answer would have to be “i infer that the toilet paper will be sturdy because it looks more resistant than other paper I’ve seen”
