The reaction forms 98.76 g AlCl_3.  

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a <em>limiting reactant problem</em>.

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.  

<em>Step 1. Gather all the information</em> in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.  

M_r: ___26.98 _70.91 __133.34

________2Al + 3Cl_2 → 2AlCl_3

Mass/g: 20.00 _78.78

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each reactant</em>  

Moles of Al = 20.00 g Al × (1 mol Al /26.98 g Al) = 0.741 29 mol Al

Moles of Cl_2 = 78.78 g Cl_2 × (1 mol Cl_2 /70.91 g Cl_2) = 1.11 10 mol Cl_2

Step 3. Identify the <em>limiting reactant</em>  

Calculate the moles of AlCl_3 we can obtain from each reactant.  

<em>From Al</em>: Moles of AlCl_3 = 0.741 29 mol Al × (2 mol AlCl_3/2 mol Al) = 0.741 29 mol AlCl_3

<em>From Cl_2</em>: Moles of AlCl_3 = 1.11 10 mol Cl_2 × (2 mol AlCl_3/3 mol Cl_2) = 0.740 66 mol AlCl_3

<em>Cl_2 is the limiting reactant</em> because it gives the smaller amount of AlCl_3.

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of AlCl_3</em>.

Mass = 0.740 66 mol AlCl_3 × 133.34 g/1 mol AlCl_3 = 98.76 g AlCl_3

The reaction produces 98.76 g AlCl_3.

What is the reduction half equation of Fe(s)+ 2 HC2H3O2(aq) → Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2(g)
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

Explanation:

Fe( s ) + 2 CH₃COOH = Fe ( OOCCH₃ ) ₂ + H₂

Fe( s ) = Fe⁺² + 2e     ( oxidation )

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

fgiga [73]

The IUPAC name for the organic compound CH2(OH)-CH2-CH(C2H5)-OH is Pentan-1,3-diol

This compound above belong to class of organic compound called the alkanols

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds are compounds which contains carbon and hydrogen only.

Some few classes of organic compounds includes the following:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkynes
  • Alkanols
  • Alkanals
  • Alkanones
  • Esters

The isotope 238U, which starts one of the natural radioactive series, decays first by alpha decay followed by two negative beta
Digiron [165]

Answer: The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U} \rightarrow ^{231}_{90}\textrm {Th}+^{4}_{2}n

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

^{231}_{90}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow ^{231}_{92}\textrm {Th}+2^{0}_{-1}n

The resulting isotope is ^{231}_{92}\textrm {U}
