Write and balance the equation for the decomposition of aluminum chloride into its elements. phase symbols are optional.
2 answers:
Explanation:
A balanced equation is an equation in which number of molecules on both left and right side are the same or equal.
When aluminium chloride decomposes then it gives aluminium and chlorine gas.
The decomposition reaction will be as follows.
Therefore, we can see that number of molecules on the reactant and product side are same. Hence, this equation is balanced.

Within the options, we have four organic compounds. Let's see what the skeletal structure of the compounds is in order to identify them better:
The first compound CH3OCH3 has two methyl groups linked by a carbon atom, this type of compound is called an Ether
The second compound has a double bond, it is badly written but it seems that is an alkene.
The third compound has two methyl groups linked by nitrogen atoms, therefore will be an amine.
The last compound has a hydroxyl group, therefore it is an alcohol
Answer:
CH3OCH3 Ether
CH2CH2CHCH2CH3 Alkene
CH3NHCH3 Amine
CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3 Alcohol
Answer:
3.64g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of NH₃ = 18.1g
Mass of Cu₂O = 90.4g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Mass of N₂ formed = ?
Solution:
The reaction equation is given as:
Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O
The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16 = 143.2g/mol
Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol
Number of moles of Cu₂O = = 0.13moles
Number of moles of NH₃ = = 5.32moles
From this reaction;
1 mole of Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃
So 0.13moles of Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃
= 0.26moles of NH₃
Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;
Mass of N₂;
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
1 mole of Cu₂O will produce 1 mole of N₂
0.13 mole of Cu₂O will produce 0.13 mole of N₂
Mass = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g
