Powdered aluminum serves the reducing agent for this reaction. Aluminum powder is known as a powerful reducing agent. <span>Iron(iii) ions would have greater electron affinity as compared to a metallic aluminum thus it would easily gain electrons from aluminum making it less positive in this case formed into a neutral atom. </span><span>The chemical reaction is </span>

<span>Fe2O3 + 2Al = Al2O3 + 2Fe. 
</span>
<span>Oxygen in the oxide compound does not participate in this redox reaction, as it is not changed </span>chemically<span>. Fe2O3 is an ionic compound which has of Fe[3+] ions and O[2-] ions. So, the net ionic reaction would be</span>

<span>Fe3+ + Al + 3O2- = Al3+ + Fe + 3O2- </span>

<span>The ionization energy of aluminum is greater than that of iron, so the said reaction would generate large amount of heat which is needed in welding.</span>

1 loop in the primary coil and 8 loops in the secondary. If the secondary voltage is 120 V, what must be the primary voltage
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

V_{p} = 15 V

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Number of loops in primary coil, Np = 1 loop.

Number of loops in secondary coil, Ns = 8 loops

Voltage in secondary coil, Vs = 120V

To find the voltage in the primary coil, Vp;

Transformer ratio is given by the formula;

\frac{V_{p}}{V_{s}} = \frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}}

Making Vp the subject of formula;

V_{p} = \frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}} * V_{s}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

V_{p} = \frac{1}{8} * 120

V_{p} = \frac{120}{8}

V_{p} = 15 V

Therefore, the voltage in the primary coil, Vp is 15 Volts.

How many moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) are needed to react completely with 6.2 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO3)? 2AgNO3 + CaC
nexus9112 [7]

Here we have to choose the right option which tells the moles of CaCl₂ will react with 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ in the reaction

2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂→ 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

6.2 moles of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) will react with B. 3.1 moles of calcium chloride (CaCl₂).

From the reaction: 2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂→ 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

Thus 2 moles of AgNO₃ reacts with 1 mole of CaCl₂

Henceforth, 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ reacts with \frac{6.2}{2} = 3.1 moles of CaCl₂.

1 mole of CaCl₂ reacts with 2 moles of AgNO₃. Thus-

A. 2.2 moles of CaCl₂ will react with 2.2×2 = 4.4 moles of AgNO₃.

C. 6.2 moles of CaCl₂ will reacts with 6.2×2 = 12.4 moles of AgNO₃.

D. 12.4 moles of CaCl₂ will reacts with 12.4 × 2 = 24.8 moles of AgNO₃

Thus the right answer is 6.2 moles of AgNO₃ will react with 3.1 moles of CaCl₂.
