Answer:

0.54 mole

Explanation:

                                     CH3COOH    CH3CH2OH   CH3COOCH2CH3    H2O​

Initial concentration   1.0 mole         1.0 mole                0 mole                  1.0mol

Change                          - x                   - x                      + x                          + x  

Equilibrium                   (1.0 - x)          (1.0 - x)                   x                       (1.0 + x)

K = [CH3COOCH2CH3]*[H2O​]/[CH3COOH]*[CH3CH2OH]

x*(1.0+x)/(1.0-x)(1.0-x) = 4.0

x+x²=4*(1-x)²

x+x² = 4(1² - 2x + x²)

x + x² = 4 - 8x + 4x²

4 - 8x + 4x²- x² - x= 0

3x² - 9x + 4 = 0

x=2.5 , x=0.54

2.5 mole of acid cannot be esterified, because there is only 1.0 mole of acid,

so answer is 0.54 mole.

What is that the theoretical yield of aluminum oxide I if 3.20 mol of aluminum metal is exposed to 2.70 mole of oxygen
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

163.2g

Explanation:

First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

4Al + 3O2 —> 2Al2O3

From the question given, were were told that 3.2moles of aluminium was exposed to 2.7moles of oxygen. Judging by this, oxygen is excess.

From the equation,

4moles of Al produced 2moles of Al2O3.

Therefore, 3.2moles of Al will produce = (3.2x2)/4 = 1.6mol of Al2O3.

Now, let us covert 1.6mol of Al2O3 to obtain the theoretical yield. This is illustrated below:

Mole of Al2O3 = 1.6mole

Molar Mass of Al2O3 = (27x2) + (16x3) = 54 + 48 =102g/mol

Mass of Al2O3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Al2O3 = 1.6 x 102 = 163.2g

Therefore the theoretical of Al2O3 is 163.2g

Pierce conducts an experiment in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases, which means that has occurred
Vikki [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

It means the waves collides and constructive interference occurred.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

If the two waves coming from the opposite direction collide with each other, there are two way of their interference.

  • Constructive interference: An interference which results in the increase in energy. And it is when crust of a wave comes on the crust of second wave.
  • Destructive interference: An interference which results in decrease in energy of the resulting wave and colliding waves cancel the result of each other.

Hence in experiment there will be constructive interference.
