The mass for of aluminum that is produced by the decomposition of 5.0 Kg Al2O3 is 2647 g or 2.647 Kg

calculation
Write the equation for decomposition of Al2O3

Al2O3 = 2Al + 3 O2

find the moles of Al2O3 = mass/molar mass

convert 5 Kg to g = 5 x1000 = 5000 grams
molar mass of Al2O3 = 27 x2 + 16 x3 = 102 g/mol

moles =5000 g/ 102 g/mol = 49.0196 moles

by use of mole ratio between Al2O3 to Al which is 1:2 the moles of Al = 49.0196 x2 =98.0392 moles

mass of Al = moles x molar mass

= 98.0392 moles x 27g/mol = 2647 grams or 2647/1000 = 2.647 Kg

Answer: 2.7 kg

Explanation:

1) Find the molar mass of Al₂O₃, using the atomic masses of Al and O:


2x27.0g/mol + 3x16.0g/mol = 102.0 g/mol

2) Find the ratio of Al to Al₂O₃:


2x27.0 / 102.0 = 54.0/102.0 = 27.0/51.0 = 9.0/17.0

3) Use proportionality:

9.0 Kg Al / 17.0 kg Al₂O₃ = x / 5.0 kg


⇒ x = 5.0kg Al₂O₃ x (9.0 kg Al/ 17.0 Kg) Al₂O₃

x = 2.65 kg = 2.7 Kg


Al = 2.7 kg Al

Answer: The mass of lead iodide produced is 9.22 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of NaI = 0.200 M

Volume of solution = 0.200 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.200M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaI}}{0.200}\\\\\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.200mol/L\times 0.200L)=0.04moles$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaI and lead chlorate follows:

$Pb(ClO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaI(aq.)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NaClO_3(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI reacts produces 1 mole of lead iodide

So, 0.04 moles of NaI will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.04=0.02mol$ of lead iodide

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

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of lead iodide = 461 g/mol

Moles of lead iodide= 0.02 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.02mol=\frac{\text{Mass of lead iodide}}{461g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of lead iodide}=(0.02mol\times 461g/mol)=9.22g$

Hence, the mass of lead iodide produced is 9.22 grams

Hello there!

In this case, sine the solution of this problem require the application of the Raoult's law, assuming heptane is a nonvolatile solute, so we can write:

$P_{CCl_4}=x_{CCl_4}P_{CCl_4}^{vap}$
