Imagine that you are playing a game of Clue in which Mrs. White is killed in the conservatory. You have a device in each room to

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Mr. Plum killed Mrs. White.

Explanation:

1) Wavelengths for the different light colors (visible light) and related character:

Color Wavelength related character

Violet 380–450 nm ← Professr Plum

Blue 450–485 nm ← Mrs. Peacock

Cyan 485–500 nm

Green 500–565 nm ← Mr. Green

Yellow 565–590 nm ← Colonel Mustard

Orange 590–625 nm

Red 625–740 nm ← Miss Scarlet

2) At the time of the murder, the spectrometers recorded:

a) In the dining room: 520 nm.

520 nm is in the range 500 - 565 nm, which is the range for green color, so Mr. Green was in the dining room and is no more a suspect.

b) In the lounge and study: lower frequencies.

Since frequency and wavelength are inversely related, the wavelengths in the longe and study have to be of yellow and red colors, which are the only two with longer wavelengths from the option given.

Then, Mustard and Scarlet are not criminal.

c) In the library: the second shortest wavelength of the five recorded.

The second shortest wavelength, as per the table, is that of blue color. So, Mrs. Peacock is not the killer.

The only left option is violet, so Mr. Plum is the only who could be at the conservatory and he is the killer.

6.0 mol Al reacts with 4.0 mol O2 to form Al2O3.

Tema [17]

Answer:

3.0 moles Al₂O₃

Explanation:

We do not know which of the reactants is the limiting reactant. Therefore, you need to convert both of the given mole values into the product. This can be done using the mole-to-mole ratio made up of the balanced equation coefficients.

4 Al + 3 O₂ -----> 2 Al₂O₃

6.0 moles Al 2 moles Al₂O₃
---------------------- x ------------------------- = 3.0 moles Al₂O₃
4 moles Al

4.0 moles O₂ 2 moles Al₂O₃
---------------------- x ------------------------- = 2.7 moles Al₂O₃
3 moles O₂

As you can see, O₂ produces the smaller amount of product. This means O₂ is the limiting reactant. Remember, the limiting reactant is the reactant which runs out before the other reactant(s) are completely reacted. As such, the actual amount of Al₂O₃ produced is 2.7 moles.

However, since this problem is directly addressing how much Al₂O₃ is produced from Al, the answer you most likely are looking for is 3.0 moles Al₂O₃.
