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 %

What is defined as the basic unit in the metric system that describes a quality?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass) respectively.  

 

To measure smaller or larger quantities, we use units derived from the metric units

 

metric-system

 

The given figure shows the arrangement of the metric units, which are smaller or bigger than the base unit.

The units to the right of the base unit are smaller than the base unit. As we move to the right, each unit is 10 times smaller or one-tenth of the unit to its left. So, a ‘deci’ means one-tenth of the base unit, ‘centi’ is one-tenth of ‘deci’ or one-hundredth of the base unit and ‘milli’ is one-tenth of ‘centi’ or one-thousandth of the base unit.

The units to the left of the base unit are bigger than the base unit. As we move to the left, each unit is 10 times greater than the unit to its right. So, a ‘deca’ means ten times of the base unit, ‘hecto’ is ten times of ‘deca’ or hundred times of the base unit and ‘killo’ is ten times of ‘hecto’ or thousand times of the base unit.

Plz help i need the answer ASAP If 6.20 cm3 of a 6.75 M (M = mol/dm3) solution are diluted to 85.6 cm3 with water, what is the c
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Option A. 6.75 (6.20/85.6)

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V1) = 6.2cm³

Initial concentration (C1) = 6.75M

Final volume (V2) = 85.6cm³

Final concentration (C2) =.?

The final concentration can be obtained by using the dilution formula as show below:

C1V1 = C2V2

6.75 x 6.2 = C2 x 85.6

Divide both side by 85.6

C2 = (6.75 x 6.2) /85.6

C2 = 6.75 (6.2 / 85.6).

The discipline of chemistry has made agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizer and pesticides, available to society.
dlinn [17]
Well, you can't use this word for word, but a good answer would be something like:
Pesticides release harmful chemicals into the air, not only making it toxic and unsafe for us, but it also has the potential to kill off insects. This affects the ecosystem as well, as it reduces the available food source for larger animals such as birds, which in turn, affect another species.
