What is the limiting reactant for the reaction below given that you start with 10.0 grams of Al (molar mass 26.98 g mol-1) and 1

9.0 grams of O2 (molar mass 32.00 g mol-1)? Equation: 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Answer:

Al

Explanation:

4 Al  +  3 O₂  →  2 Al₂O₃

You need to figure out which one has the smaller mole ratio.  Convert both substances from grams to moles.

(10.0 g Al)/(26.98 g/mol) = 0.3706 mol Al

(19.0 g O₂)/(32.00 g/mol) = 0.5938 mol O₂

Now, use the mole ratios of reactant to product to see which substance produces the least amount of product.

(0.3706 mol Al) × (2 mol Al₂O₃/4 mol Al) = 0.1853 mol Al₂O₃

(0.5938 mol O₂) × (2 mol Al₂O₃/3 mol O₂) = 0.3958 mol Al₂O₃

Since aluminum produces the least amount of product, this is the limiting reagent.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: the true statements about eicosanoids includes options A,B,D,E

Explanation:

EICOSANOIDS are mostly produced from the precursor arachidonic acid, a C20 polyunsaturated fatty acid. They are broken down within seconds to inactive residues after synthesis.High concentrations of eicosanoids are necessary for effective action.The three major types of eicosanoids includes:

-prostaglandins,

- thromboxanes, and

- leukotrienes.

Depending on the above types mentioned, they play a role in inflammation, pain, fever promotion, blood pressure regulation, and blood clotting. They also influence the immune response and certain respiratory and reproductive processes.

However, eicosanoids are NOT transported in the blood stream to their site of action RATHER they exert their effects on the tissue where they are synthesized.

You want to prepare 500.0 mL of 1.000 M KNO3 at 20°C, but the lab (and water) temperature is 24°C at the time of preparation. Ho
timama [110]

Explanation:

As per the given data, at a higher temperature, at 24^{o}C, the solution will occupy a larger volume than at 20^{o}C.

Since, density is mass divided by volume and it will decrease at higher temperature.

Also, concentration is number of moles divided by volume and it decreases at higher temperature.

At 20^{o}C, density of water=0.9982071 g/ml  

Therefore, \frac{concentration}{density} will be calculated as follows.

                 = \frac{C_{1}}{d_{1}}

                 = \frac{1.000 mol/L}{0.9982071 g/ml}

                 = 1.0017961 mol/g  

At 24^{o}C, density of water = 0.9972995 g/ml

Since, \frac{concentration}{density} = \frac{C_{2}}{d_{2}}

                           = \frac{C_{2}}{0.9972995}

Also,             \frac{C_{1}}{d_{1}} = \frac{C_{2}}{d_{2}}

so,                   1.0017961 mol/g = \frac{C_{2}}{0.9972995}

                      C_{2} = 1.0017961 \times 0.9972995

                                  = 0.9990907 mol/L

Therefore, in 500 ml, concentration of KNO_{3} present is calculated as follows.

             C_{2} = \frac{concentration}{volume}

               0.9990907 mol/L = \frac{concentration}{0.5 L}  

               concentration = 0.49954537 mol

Hence, mass (m'') = 0.49954537 mol \times 101.1032 g/mol = 50.5056 g       (as molar mass of KNO_{3} = 101.1032 g/mol).

Any object displaces air, so the apparent mass is somewhat reduced, which requires buoyancy correction.

Hence, using Buoyancy correction as follows,

                      m = m''' \times \frac{(1 - \frac{d_{air}}{d_{weights}})}{(1 - \frac{d_{air}}{d})}}

where,          d_{air} = density of air = 0.0012 g/ml

                     d_{weight} = density of callibration weights = 8.0g/ml                      

                     d = density of weighed object

Hence, the true mass will be calculated as follows.

           True mass(m) = 50.5056 \times \frac{(1 - \frac{0.0012}{8.0})}{(1 - (\frac{0.0012}{2.109})}

             true mass(m) = 50.5268 g

                                  = 50.53 g (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that 50.53 g apparent mass of KNO_{3} needs to be measured.
