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 %

You have 100 mL of a 12M solution of HCl, and you need to dilute it to 1.5M for an experiment. How many liters will your new sol
sashaice [31]

Answer:

800.0 mL.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem; we must mention the rule states the no. of millimoles of a substance before and after dilution is the same.

<em>(MV)before dilution of HCl = (MV)after dilution of HCl</em>

M before dilution = 12.0 M, V before dilution = 100.0 mL.

M after dilution = 1.5 M, V after dilution = ??? mL.

∵ (MV)before dilution of HCl = (MV)after dilution of HCl

∴ (12.0 M)(100.0 mL) = (1.5 M)(V after dilution of HCl)

<em>∴ V after dilution of HCl = (12.0 M)(100.0 mL)/(1`.5 M) = 800.0 mL.</em>

(environmental science) 1.which aspects of climate are most important to forest ecosystems?
mamaluj [8]
Probably the CO2 concentration. If the earth gets warmer by rising greenhouse gases (one of which is CO2), the amount of rainfall and precipitation increases. I am not an expert, but that's my first guess.
