Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) occurs in nature as a mineral called corundum, which is noted for its hardness and resis- tance to attack

by acids. Its density is 3.97 g cm23. Calculate the number of atoms of aluminum in 15.0 cm3 corundum.

Answer:

7.03×10²³ atoms of Al

Explanation:

Corundum density = 3.97g/cm³

Corundum = Al₂O₃. Then, you have 2 moles of Al and 3 moles of O in 1 mol of the compound.

Let's determine the mass of corundum, by density

Corundum density = Corundum mass / Corundum volume

3.97 g/cm³ = Corundum mass / 15cm³

3.97 g/cm³ . 15cm³ = Corundum mass →59.55 g

Now, let's find out how many moles are in that mass of corundum

1 mol of Al₂O₃ weighs 101.96 g/mol

Then, 101.96 grams of oxide have 2 moles of Al

59.55 g of oxide, will have (59.55  .2)/101.96 = 1.17 moles

Now, we can know the quantity of atoms, by this rule of three

1 mol has NA atoms (6.02×10²³)

1.17 moles will have (1.17  . NA) = 7.03×10²³ atoms of Al

What is the molarity of 6 moles (mol) of NaCl dissolved in 2 L of water?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

C:  \frac{6 mol}{2 L}

Explanation:

we can use the molarity equation

M = \frac{mol}{L}

so to find M we plug in what we know, which is 6 moles of NaCl and 2 L of water, which gives us:

\frac{6 mol}{2 L}

What is the pH of a 0.75 M HNO3 solution
Sauron [17]
Hello!

The dissociation reaction of HNO₃ is the following:

HNO₃ → H⁺ + NO₃⁻

This is a strong acid, so the concentration of HNO₃ would be the same as the concentration of H⁺. The formula for pH is the following:

pH=-log([H_3O^{+}])=-log(0,75M)=0,12

So, the pH would be 0,12

Have a nice day!
