Chemistry

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)

<em>What</em><em> </em><em>percent</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>does</em><em> </em><em>X</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>Y</em><em> </em><em>take</em><em> </em><em>up</em><em>?</em>

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

Al: 54/102 = 53%

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

<em>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.</em>

In the reaction of nitrogen gas with oxygen gas to produce nitrogen oxide, what is the effect of adding more oxygen gas to the i
Alborosie
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Equilibrium would shift to produce more NO

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The reaction is;

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇆ 2NO(g)

  • When a reaction is at equilibrium then the forward reaction rate will be equivalent to the reverse reaction rate. Additionally, the concentration of the reactants and products are the same.
  • From Le Chatelier's principle, additional reactants favor the formation of more products while additional products favor the formation of more reactants.
  • For example, when more oxygen is added then more Nitrogen (II) oxide will be formed.
  • Oxygen is a reactant and when increased it favors forward reaction which leads to the formation of more NO which is the product.
