<u>Answer:</u> The mass of cryolite produced is 51.48 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For aluminium oxide:</u>

Given mass of aluminium oxide = 12.5 kg = 12500 g    (Conversion factor:  1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass of aluminium oxide = 101.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of aluminium oxide}=\frac{12500g}{101.96g/mol}=122.6mol

  • <u>For NaOH:</u>

Given mass of NaOH = 55.4 kg = 55400 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{55400g}{40g/mol}=1389mol

  • <u>For HF:</u>

Given mass of HF = 55.4 kg = 55400 g

Molar mass of HF = 20 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of HF}=\frac{55400g}{20g/mol}=2770mol

For the given chemical reaction:

Al_2O_3(s)+6NaOH(l)+12HF(g)\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O(g)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide reacts with 6 moles of sodium hydroxide and 12 moles of HF.

So, 122.6 moles of aluminium oxide will react with (6\times 122.6)=735.6mol of sodium hydroxide and (12\times 122.6)=1471.2mol of HF

As, given amount of NaOH and HF is more than the required amount. So, they are considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium oxide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide produces 2 moles of cryolite

So, 122.6 moles of aluminium oxide will produce = \frac{2}{1}\times 122.6=245.2mol of cryolite

Now, calculating the mass of cryolite by using equation 1:

Molar mass of cryolite = 209.94 g/mol

Moles of cryolite = 245.2 mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

245.2mol=\frac{\text{Mass of cryolite}}{209.94g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of cryolite}=(245.2mol\times 209.94g/mol)=51477.3g

Converting this into kilograms, we use the conversion factor:

1 kg = 1000 g

So, 51477.3 g\times (\frac{1kg}{1000g})=51.48kg

Hence, the mass of cryolite produced is 51.48 kg

33 protons 36 electrons 45 neutrons
Artist 52 [7]

As has an atomic number of 33, so it has 33 protons.  

It has a charge of 3-, so there are three more electrons than protons. Thus, there are 36 electrons.  

It has a mass of 75, which is the sum of neutrons and protons.  

33+n=75 ---> n = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons  

The answer is e) 33 protons, 42 neutrons and 36 electrons.

Find the empirical formula of the compound ribose, a simple sugar often used as a nutritional supplement. A 14.229 g sample of r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.

C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%

O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%

H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%

We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.

C = 40/12 = 3.333

O = 53.29/16 = 3.33

H = 6.71/2 = 6.71

Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33

C = 3.33/3.33 = 1

O = 3.33/3.33= 1

H = 6.71/3.33 = 2

The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O

A compound accepts electrons from another substance to form a covalent bond. Which term best describes this compound’s behavior?
Cloud [144]

A compound accepts electrons from another substance to form a covalent bond. The compound acts as a Lewis base.

<h3>What are the most common acid-base theories?</h3>
  • Arrhenius: acids release H⁺ and bases release OH⁻.
  • Bronsted-Lowry: acids donate H⁺ and bases accept H⁺.
  • Lewis: acids accept electrons and bases donate electrons.

A compound accepts electrons from another substance to form a covalent bond. Which term best describes this compound’s behavior?

  • Lewis acid. YES.
  • Arrhenius base. NO, because OH⁻ is not involved.
  • Bronsted-Lowry acid. NO, because H⁺ is not involved.

Please help me answer this question! I don’t understand it at all!
pentagon [3]
The uncertainty principle is one of the most famous (and probably misunderstood) ideas in physics. It tells us that there is a fuzziness in nature, a fundamental limit to what we can know about the behaviour of quantum particles and, therefore, the smallest scales of nature. Of these scales, the most we can hope for is to calculate probabilities for where things are and how they will behave. Unlike Isaac Newton's clockwork universe, where everything follows clear-cut laws on how to move and prediction is easy if you know the starting conditions, the uncertainty principle enshrines a level of fuzziness into quantum theory.
