Answer:

A) 3NH₄ClO₄ + 3Al ---> Al₂O₃ + AlCl₃ + 6H₂O + 3NO

B) 150 g of ammonium perchlorate will produce 43.4 g of aluminum oxide

Explanation:

A)Balanced equation of reaction:

3NH₄ClO₄ + 3Al ---> Al₂O₃ + AlCl₃ + 6H₂O + 3NO

Oxidation states:

Nitrogen, N:  from -3 to +2

Hydrogen, H: from +1 to +1

Chlorine, Cl: From +7 to -1

Oxygen, O: from -2 t0 -2

Aluminum, Al: from 0 to +3.

Oxidizing agent is ammonium perchlorate while the reducing agent is the aluminum powder.

B) molar mass of aluminum oxide = 102 g/mol; molar mass of ammonium perchlorate =117.5 g/mol

From the equation of reaction 3 moles of ammonium perchlorate reacts with 3 moles of aluminum to produce 1 mole of aluminum oxide;

that is 3 * 117.5 g of  ammonium perchlorate reacts with 3 * 27 g of aluminum to produce 102 g/mol of aluminum oxide

150 g of ammonium perchlorate will react with (150 * 3*27) / (3 * 117.5) of aluminum = 34.47 g of Al

Ammonium perchlorate is the limiting reactant.

150 g of ammonium perchlorate will produce (150 * 102)/(3*117.5) g of aluminum oxide = 43.4 g of aluminum oxide

What is a product in a chemical reaction?
Alexus [3.1K]
chemical reaction results in the forming or breaking apart of chemical bonds between various elements. These reactions can result in many different outcomes, which can be affected by temperature, pressure and the amount of the reactants. Catalysts can also start a reaction or speed up its rate. However, the catalyst is not involved in the chemical reaction, as it remains unchanged before and after the reaction.
Although the elements and compounds may change form during the reaction, every atom in the reactants is also found in one of the products. In the reaction, individual elements can bond together to form compounds, or compounds can break apart into elements. For instance, when water is exposed to an electrical current, it breaks apart into oxygen and hydrogen gases. Alternatively, when zinc and sulfur react together, the two elements bond together to form zinc sulfide.
Some reactions also result in chemical equilibrium, which occurs when the reactants change into products at the same time as the products change back into the original reactants.

On what is the geologic time scale based?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Either A or D

Geologists and paleontologists constructed the geologic table based on the relative positions of different strata and fossils, and estimated the time scales based on studying rates of various kinds of weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and lithification.
