Assume 1mol of Al2O3:

mm(Al) = 26.98g/mol

x2(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

= 53.96g

~54g

mm(O) = 16.00g/mol

x3(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

=48g

mm(Al2O3) = m(Al) + m(O)

= 102g/mol

x1mol

=102g (in 1 mol)

What percent of the total does X or Y take up?

Just take the portion that it gets and divide by the total:

Al: 54/102 = 53%

O: 48/102 = 47% or 100%-53%=47%

Notice that, with binary compounds, you only need to calculate one of the two elements: the remaining amount HAS to be taken up by the other element, or else there would be something else involved.

Starting with the stock solution of 6.0 M, how many milliliters of 6.0 M sulfuric acid are needed to make 450 mL of 1.2 M soluti

Lina20 [59]

Answer: The volume of stock solution needed is 90 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of the stock sulfuric acid solution

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of diluted sulfuric acid solution

We are given:

$M_1=6.0M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=1.2M\\V_2=450mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$6.0\times V_1=1.2\times 450\\\\V_1=\frac{1.2\times 450}{6.0}=90mL$

Hence, the volume of stock solution needed is 90 mL
