Answer:

- Iron (III) oxide is the limiting reactant.

- m_{Al_2O_3}=319.9gAl_2O_3

- m_{Fe}=350.4gFe

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider the following reaction:

2Al + Fe_2O_3 \rightarrow Al_2O_3 +2Fe

Thus, for identifying the limiting reactant we should compute the available  moles of aluminium in 268 g:

n_{Al}=268gAl*\frac{1molAl}{26.98gAl} =9.93molAl

Next, we compute the moles of aluminium that are consumed by 501 grams of iron (III) oxide via their 2:1 molar ratio:

n_{Al}^{consumed}=501gFe_2O_3*\frac{1molFe_2O_3}{159.69gFe_2O_30}*\frac{2molAl}{1molFe_2O_3}=6.27molAl

Thus, we notice there are less consumed moles of aluminium than available, for that reason, it is in excess; therefore, the iron (III) oxide is the limiting reactant.

Moreover, the theoretical mass of aluminium oxide is:

m_{Al_2O_3}=6.27molAl*\frac{1molAl_2O_3}{2molAl} *\frac{101.96gAl_2O_3}{1molAl_2O_3} =319.9gAl_2O_3

And the theoretical mass of iron is:

m_{Fe}=6.27molAl*\frac{2molFe}{2molAl} *\frac{55.845 gFe}{1molFe} =350.4gFe

Best regards.

Described the role of electrons in the formation of a covalent bond​
My name is Ann [436]

Sharing of two electrons make a <u>Covalent </u>bond.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Attractions among the atoms bring them together. So the electrons from each of the atoms are attracted towards the nucleus of those two atoms, that “share” the electrons produces a covalent bond.

It is also named as molecular bond,  a bond that entails the sharing of a pair of electrons among the atoms. When the atoms share the electrons among themselves, it produces a molecule, which is more stable than the atom.

If the attractions between the atoms are strong enough and if every atom has enough space for the electrons in its outermost energy level then there occurs covalent bonding. So electrons are very important in the covalent bond formation.

A solution was made by dissolving 5.10 mg of hemoglobin in water to give a final volume of 1.00 ml. the osmotic pressure of this
Assoli18 [71]

The molecular weight of hemoglobin can be calculated using osmotic pressure

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property and it depends on molarity as

πV = nRT

where

π = osmotic pressure

V = volume = 1mL = 0.001 L

n = moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

T = temperature = 25°C = 25 + 273 K = 298 K

Putting values we will get value of moles

moles=\frac{\pi V}{RT}=\frac{0.00195X0.001}{0.0821X298}mol

we know that

moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}

Therefore

molarmass=\frac{mass}{moles}=\frac{5.10X10^{-3}g}{7.97X10^{-8}}=6.399X10^{4}g
