Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g

Mass of water = 5.67g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.

Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;

         Al₂O₃  + 3H₂O  →  2Al(OH)₃  

Number of moles;

            Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

molar mass of Al₂O₃  = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole

    number of moles = \frac{3.87}{102}  = 0.04mole

   

molar mass of  H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole

    number of moles = \frac{5.67}{18}  = 0.32mole

From the reaction equation;

        1 mole of  Al₂O₃  reacted with 3 moles of H₂O

   0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O

But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.

This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant

10. You demonstrated the difference in density of the two objects. It is a physical property.

11. First calculate the density for all of them: density = mass/volume

Density:

A. 5/6 g/ml

B. 10/9 g/ml

C. 15/16 g/ml

D. 20/10 g/ml

If the density of the substance is higher than the density of the substance it is put in, then it will sink. So substances B and D will sink in water, as their densities are higher than 1 g/ml.

12. Ammonia weighs less than water does-- for example, the weight of 8 gallons of ammonia will be equivalent to the weight of 5 gallons of water.

Hope this helped!

For each element, predict where the "jump " occurs for successive ionization energies. (For example, does the jump occur between
vichka [17]

Answer:

A jump occurs when a core electron is removed.

Explanation:

A jump in ionization energy occurs when a core electron is removed. A large jump in the ionization energy easily be seen from the electronic configuration of an element.

For Beryllium, the electronic configuration of is 1s2 2s2.

There are two valence electrons in the outermost shell hence the ionization energy data for beryllium will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the second to the third ionization energy owing to the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration for Nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. Five valence electrons are found in the outermost shell so the ionization energy data for nitrogen will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the fifth to sixth ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration of oxygen is 1s2 2s2 2p4. There are six valence electrons hence ionization energy for oxygen atom will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the sixth to the seventh ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration of Lithium is 1s2 2s1

There is one valence electron in its outermost shell so its ionization energy data will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the first to the second ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron.
