When water breaks apart an ionic compound into cations and anions:

Chemistry

Answer:
Dissociation

Explanation:
The molecule of water is polar. This means that the hydrogen has a partial positive charge while the oxygen has a partial negative charge.
Ionic compounds have equal number of positive and negative charges.
When these compounds are placed in water, the partial positive hydrogen starts to attract the negative ion of the ionic compound while the partial negative oxygen starts to attract the positive ion of the ionic compound.

This process is called dissociation and leads to the breaking of ionic compound into cations and anions in water.

Hope this helps :)

What is that the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide I if 3.20 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.70 mole of oxygen
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

163.2g

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

4Al + 3O2 —> 2Al2O3

From the question given, were were told that 3.2moles of aluminium was exposed to 2.7moles of oxygen. Judging by this, oxygen is excess.

From the equation,

4moles of Al produced 2moles of Al2O3.

Therefore, 3.2moles of Al will produce = (3.2x2)/4 = 1.6mol of Al2O3.

Now, let us covert 1.6mol of Al2O3 to obtain the theoretical yield. This is illustrated below:

Mole of Al2O3 = 1.6mole

Molar Mass of Al2O3 = (27x2) + (16x3) = 54 + 48 =102g/mol

Mass of Al2O3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Al2O3 = 1.6 x 102 = 163.2g

Therefore the theoretical of Al2O3 is 163.2g

% Composition = ?
no atom in 2 g of styrene =? 
molar mass of strene =104.15
% composition of c= 12/13.008 =.922*100=92.2
% composition of h =1.008/13.008=0.0774*100= 7.74

no gram atom=mass in kg /molar mass=2/104.15 =0.01920 mol
no of gram atom * avogadro's number  = 0.0192*6.02 *10( exponent 23) =1.15584
