Answer:
29.41% of Calcium and 47.04% of Oxygen
Explanation:
The percent composition of an atom in a molecule is defined as 100 times the ratio between the mass of the atom and the mass of the molecule.
The mass of the molecule of the problem (Ore) is 46.28g. That means the percent composition of Calcium is:
13.61g / 46.28g * 100 = 29.41% of Calcium
And percent composition of Oxygen is:
21.77g / 46.28g * 100 = 47.04% of Oxygen
To fine volume, you have to divide the mass by the density of the substance. in this, you’ll do 19.6/7.83=2.50
Answer:
H₂O is the limiting reactant
Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂
Explanation:
Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.
6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O
We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al. But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O. Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.
Now find the theoretical yield:
7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃
7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂
Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.
