Answer: 17.34 grams of alum will be produced if 0.9875 g of Aluminium foil was used.
Explanation: Reaction to form alum from Aluminium is given as:
We are given Aluminium to be the limiting reactant, so the formation of alum will be dependent on Aluminium because it limits the formation of product.
By stoichiometry,
2 moles of Al is producing 2 moles of Alum
Mass of 2 moles of Aluminium = (2 × 27)g/mol = 54 g/mol
Mass of 2 moles of alum = (2 × 474)g/mol = 948 g/mol
54 g/mol of aluminium will produce 948 g/mol of alum, so
Amount of Alum produced = 17.34 grams
Theoretical yield of alum = 17.34 grams.
At the molecular level, temperature is related to the random<span> motions of the particles (</span>atoms<span> and molecules) in </span>matter<span>. Because there are different types of </span>motion, the particles' kinetic energy (energy of motion) can take different forms, and each form contributes to the total kinetic energy of the particles.<span>
