TIMED PLS HELP AND WILL GIVE BRAINLIST

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

19.4 g of alum, will be its theoretical yield

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2 Al + 2 KOH + 4 H₂SO₄ + 22H₂O → 3H₂ + 2KAl(SO₄)₂•12H₂O

Let's determine the amount of acid.

M are the moles contained in 1 L of solution or it can be mmoles that are contained in 1 mL of solution

M = mmol /mL

M . mL = mmol

We replace: 8.3 mL . 9.9 M = 82.17 mmoles

We convert to moles: 82.17 mmol . 1 mol / 1000mmol = 0.082 moles

Ratio is 4:2

4 moles of sulfuric acid can make 2 moles of alum

By the way, 0.082 moles of acid may produce ( 0.082 . 2) /4 = 0.041085 moles.

We convert moles to mass:

Molar mass of alum is: 473.52 g/mol.

0.041085 moles . 473.52 g/mol = 19.4 g

Given 3.4 grams of x compound with a molar mass of 85 g and 4.2 grams of y compound with a molar mass of 48 g How much of compou

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$4.36~g~XY$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the reaction:

$2X + Y_2~->~2XY$

If we check the reaction, we will have 2 X and Y atoms on both sides. So, the reaction is balanced. Now, the problem give to us two amounts of reagents. Therefore, we have to find the limiting reagent. The first step then is to find the moles of each compound using the molar mass:

$3.4~g~X\frac{1~mol~X}{85~g~X}=0.04~mol~X$

$4.2~g~Y_2\frac{1~mol~Y_2}{48~g~Y_2}=0.0875~mol~Y_2$

Now, we can divide by the coefficient of each compound (given by the balanced reaction):

$\frac{0.04~mol~X}{1}=~0.04$

$\frac{0.0875~mol~Y_2}{2}=0.04375$

The smallest value is for "X", therefore this is our limiting reagent. Now, if we use the molar ratio between "X" and "XY" we can calculate the moles of XY, so:

$0.04~mol~X\frac{2~mol~XY}{2~mol~X}=0.04~mol~XY$

Finally, with the molar mass of "XY" we can calculate the grams. Now, we know that 1 mol X = 85 g X and 1 mol $Y_2$ = 48 g $Y_2$ (therefore 1 mol Y = 24 g Y). With this in mind the molar mass of XY would be 85+24 = 109 g/mol. With this in mind:

$0.04~mol~XY\frac{109~g~XY}{1~mol~XY}=4.36~g~XY$

I hope it helps!

Researchers are investigating processes that happen during digestion. Which answer choice describes only a physical change durin

ElenaW [278]

The correct answer is B. Chewing in the mouth breaks food into small pieces.

Explanation:

In physical changes, substances do not change their chemical composition or properties but only physical features such as this. This occurs during the chewing because the action of chewing only makes food to be broken down in smaller pieces but does not change its identity, composition, or properties. This does not occur once the food is in contact with saliva, the acid in the stomach, etc. because in these cases, the food reacts with other substances and a chemical reaction occurs, which changes food's identity and composition.
