Calculate the percent composition of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). *Show how you got the answer please!*

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>

He equation for the dissociation of pyridine is
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

10.10

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the basic dissociation reaction for pyridine

C₅H₅N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ C₅H₅NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)      Kb = 1.9 × 10⁻⁹

Step 2: Calculate [OH⁻]

For a weak base, we will use the following expression.

[OH⁻] = √(Cb × Kb) = √(9.2 × 1.9 × 10⁻⁹) = 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ M

Step 3: Calculate pOH

We will use the definition of pOH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ = 3.9

Step 4: Calculate pH

We will use the following expression.

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3.9 = 10.10

How many moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 moles of Fe0
DIA [1.3K]
0.8 moles

 3 moles of feO  gives you  2 moles of Al and 1.2 of your moles should give you 1.2 divided by 3*2 so it equals 0.80 moles 

Right?

Consider the following ionization reaction.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, an acid is a proton donor while a base is a proton acceptor.

Hence, if we consider the reaction above, we will notice that for each base there is a conjugate acid and for each acid there is a conjugate base.

For the acid HNO3, its conjugate base is NO3^- while for the acid H3O^+, its conjugate base is H2O.
