Answer:

Gases in Earth's atmosphere form a protective layer

Nitrogen, oxygen and ozone molecules in the upper atmosphere and stratosphere absorb ultraviolet light from the Sun, providing a shield that prevents this radiation from passing to the Earth's surface.

Solid aluminum (AI) and oxygen (O_2) gas react to form solid aluminum oxide (Al_2O_3). Suppose you have 7.0 mol of Al and 9.0 mo

Answer:

There will be formed 3.5 moles of Al2O3 ( 356.9 grams)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Numbers of Al = 7.0 mol

Numbers of mol O2 = O2

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Al2O3(s)

Step 3: Calculate limiting reactant

For 4 moles Al we need 3 moles O2 to produce 2 moles Al2O3

Al is the limiting reactant, it will be consumed completely (7 moles).

O2 is in excess. There will react 3/4 * 7 = 5.25 moles

There will remain 9-5.25 = 3.75 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles Al2O3

For 4 moles Al we'll have 2moles Al2O3

For 7.0 moles of Al we'll have 3.5 moles of Al2O3 produced

Step 5: Calculate mass of Al2O3

Mass Al2O3 = moles Al2O3 * molar mass Al2O3

Mass Al2O3 = 3.5 moles* 101.96 g/mol

Mass Al2O3 = 356.9 grams

There will be formed 3.5 moles of Al2O3 ( 356.9 grams)

Methyl orange (HMO) is an acid-base indicator. Its two forms in solution are HMO (red) and MO- (yellow). When HMO is added to di

Anna007 [38]

Answer:add acid

Explanation:

Methyl orange is red in acid and yellow in base. When added to distilled water and the colour turns yellow, it means it is in its anion form. The equilibrium can be shifted towards the acid form (HMO) by adding acid. The acid will protonate the indicator shifting the position of equilibrium towards the acid side and the solution turns red.
