What is the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide if 1.40 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 1.35 mol of oxygen?

Chemistry

Answer:

71.372 g or 0.7 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Moles of Aluminium is 1.40 mol
  • Moles of Oxygen 1.35 mol

We are required to determine the theoretical yield of Aluminium oxide

The equation for the reaction between Aluminium and Oxygen is given by;

4Al(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Al₂O₃(s)

From the equation 4 moles Al reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to yield 2 moles of Aluminium oxide.

Therefore;

1.4 moles of Al will require 1.05 moles (1.4 × 3/4) of oxygen

1.35 moles of Oxygen will require 1.8 moles (1.35 × 4/3) of Aluminium

Therefore, Aluminium is the rate limiting reagent in the reaction while Oxygen is the excess reactant.

4 moles of aluminium reacts to generate 2 moles aluminium oxide.

Therefore;

Mole ratio Al : Al₂O₃ is 4 : 2

Thus;

Moles of Al₂O₃ = Moles of Al × 0.5

                         = 1.4 moles × 0.5

                         = 0.7 moles

But; 1 mole of Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol

Thus;

Theoretical mass of Al₂O₃ = 0.7 moles × 101.96 g/mol

                                            = 71.372 g

The radius of a hydrogen atom is 37 pm and its mass is 1.67 × 10-24 g. What is the density of the atom in grams per cubic centim
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

V = 4/3 * 3.1416 * (37x10-10)3

V = 2.12x10-25 cm3

d = m/V

d = 1.67x10-24 / 2.12x10-25 = 7.87 g/cm3

The difference in temperature, let's convert F to ºC:

ºC = -80-32/1.8 = -62.22 ºC

dT = -92.6 + 62.2 = -30.4 ºC

Why does nuclear charge increase as you go left to right across a period
MariettaO [177]

 The atomic number increases moving left to right across a period and subsequently so does the effective nuclear charge. Therefore, moving left to right across a period the nucleus has a greater pull on the outer electrons and the atomic radii decreases.

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by X^{A}_{Z}

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

<em>Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z</em>

<em>Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.</em>

<em>Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;</em>

<em>1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively. </em>

<em>2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron. </em>

<em>3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron.  </em>
