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>

According to the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the average temperature of the universe is
charle [14.2K]

Answer : The temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from Kelvin to degree Celsius is:

^oC=K-273.15

where,

K = temperature in Kelvin

^oC = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature in Kelvin is, 2.7

Now we have to determine the temperature in Kelvin.

^oC=K-273.15

^oC=2.7-273.15

^oC=-270.45

Therefore, the temperature in degree Celsius is, -270.45^oC

A 16.0 mL sample of a 1.04 M potassium sulfate solution is mixed with 14.3 mL of a 0.880 M barium nitrate solution and this prec
stiks02 [169]
Number of moles in the K2SO4 sample
= (16/1000)*1.04= 0.01664 mol

Number of moles in the Ba(NO3)2 sample
= (14.3/1000*0.880)= 0.01258 mol

Since the reaction is a 1:1 ratio between the two reactants, the limiting reagent is the one containing a smaller number of moles, namely Ba(NO3)2.

The molecular mass of BaSO4 is 137.3+(32.06+4*16.00)=233.4
Therefore the theoretical yield of Barium Sulphate is
233.4*0.01258=2.937 g
Actual yield = 2.60 g (given)
Therefore the percentage yield = 2.60/2.937=88.54%

Answer: 
1. the limiting reagent is Barium Nitrate (Ba(NO3)2)
2. the theoretical yield is 2.94 g
3. the percentage yield is 88.5%

I apologize for the mistake previous to this update.
