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>

1. How many moles of iron is needed to react with sulfur in order to produce 8.6 moles
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

17.2 moles of Iron are required

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction:

2Fe + 3S → Fe₂S₃

<em>2 moles of Fe react with 3 moles of S to produce 1 mole of Iron (III) sulfide</em>

<em />

Assuming and excess of sulfur, if we want to obtain 8.6 moles of Fe₂S₃ are required:

8.6 moles Fe₂S₃ * (2 moles Fe / 1mol Fe₂S₃) =

How many atoms are in 0.500mol of calcium?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

3.01×10²³ atoms of calcium

Explanation:

number of moles = number of atoms/Avogadro's constant

n = N/NA

N = n×NA = 0.500 mol×6.02×10²³ mol^-1

N = 3.01×10²³ atoms of calcium

Why doesn’t alcohol freeze?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Because it's a combination of chemicals, vodka doesn't freeze at the same temperature as either water or alcohol. Of course, vodka will freeze, but not at the temperature of an ordinary freezer. This is because vodka contains enough alcohol to lower the freezing point of water below the -17°C of your typical freezer.
