What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular model?

 <span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals. 

More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>

The following reaction shows the products when sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide react.
Elden [556K]

The correct answer is approximately 11.73 grams of sulfuric acid.

The theoretical yield of water from Al(OH)3 is lower than that of H₂SO₄. As a consequence, Al(OH)3 is the limiting reactant, H₂SO₄ is in excess.

The balanced equation is:

2Al(OH)₃ + 3H₂SO₄ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O

Each mole of Al(OH)3 corresponds to 3/2 moles of H₂SO₄. The molecular mass of Al(OH)3 is 78.003 g/mol. There are 15/78.003 = 0.19230 moles of Al(OH)3 in the five grams of Al(OH)3 available. Al(OH)3 is in limiting, which means that all 0.19230 moles will be consumed. Accordingly, 0.19230 × 3/2 = 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ will be consumed.

The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.706 g/mol. The mass of 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ is 0.28845 × 98.706 = 28.289 g

40 grams of sulfuric acid is available, out of which 28.289 grams is consumed. The remaining 40-28.289 = 11.711 g is in excess, which is closest to the first option, that is, 11.73 grams of H₂SO₄.

How do scientists predict the polarity of molecules, the distribution of non-polar and polar molecules?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Polar molecules interact with other molecules of similar polarity to form solutions. Non-polar molecules do not interact the same way.
