Alum is a compound used in a variety of applications including cosmetics, water purification, and as a food additive. It can be

synthesized from aluminum metal, sulfuric acid, water, and potassium hydroxide, as seen in the following equation:
2Al(g) + 2KOH(aq) + 4H2SO4(aq) + 10H2O =====> 2KAl(SO4) + 12(H2O) = 3H2

Using the data below, determine the theoretical and percent yield for this alum synthesis. Note that aluminum is the limiting reactant.

Bottle Mass - 9.8981g

Bottle with Aluminum Pieces - 10.8955g

Final Product with Bottle Mass - 19.0414g

yield = 52.23 %

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 Al (s) + 2 KOH (aq) + 4 H₂SO₄ (aq) + 10 H₂O → 2 KAl(SO₄)₂·12 (H₂O) (s) + 3 H₂ (g)

mass of aluminium = mass of bottle with aluminium pieces - bottle mass

mass of aluminium = 10.8955 - 9.8981 = 0.9974 g

mass of alum = mass of bottle with final product - bottle mass

mass of alum = 19.0414 - 9.8981 = 9.1433 g

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of aluminium = 0.9974 / 27 = 0.03694 moles

number of moles of alum (practical) = 9.1433 / 474 = 0.01929 moles

To calculate the theoretical quantity of alum that should be obtained from 0.03694 moles of aluminium we devise the following reasoning:

if       2 moles of aluminium produce 2 moles of alum

then 0.03694 moles of aluminium produce X moles of alum

X = (0.03694 × 2) / 2 = 0.03694 moles of alum (theoretical)

yield = (practical quantity / theoretical quantity) × 100

yield = (0.01929 /  0.03694) × 100

yield = 52.23 %

A gas with a volume of 250 mL at a temperature of 293K is heated to 324K. What is the new volume of the gas?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The new volume of the gas is 276.45 mL.

Explanation:

Charles's law indicates that for a given sum of gas at constant pressure, as the temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases, and as the temperature decreases, the volume of the gas decreases.

Charles's law is a law that mathematically says that when the amount of gas and pressure are kept constant, the quotient that exists between the volume and the temperature will always have the same value:

\frac{V}{T} =k

Analyzing an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is satisfied:

\frac{V1}{T1} =\frac{V2}{T2}

In this case:

  • V1= 250 mL
  • T1= 293 K
  • V2= ?
  • T2= 324 K

Replacing:

\frac{250 mL}{293 K} =\frac{V2}{324 K}

Solving:

V2=324 K*\frac{250 mL}{293 K}

V2= 276.45 mL

<em><u>The new volume of the gas is 276.45 mL.</u></em>

A student experimentally obtained the density of osmium the densest element as 22.57g/cm3 the density of osmium is reported to b
Airida [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: % error = 0.4

Explanation:

Data

real value = 22.48%

estimated value = 22.57 %

Formula

% error = |real value - estimated value|/real value x 100

%error = |22.48 - 22.57|/22.48 x 100

% error = |-0.09|/22.48 x 100

%error = 0.09/22.48 x 100

% error = 0.004 x 100

% error = 0.4
