Would the water in a pond or the water in a full bathtub have more thermal energy? Explain why.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.

Consider the reaction 2 al + Fe2O3 to 2Fe + Al2O3. If 60.0g of Al is reacted with excess Fe2O3, determine the amount (in moles)
olganol [36]

 The  amount  of  Al2O3  in moles=  1.11 moles    while in  grams   = 113.22 grams


    <em><u>calculation</u></em>

     2 Al  + Fe2O3 → 2Fe  + Al2O3

    step  1: find the moles of Al  by  use of <u><em>moles= mass/molar  mass  </em></u>formula

    =  60.0/27= 2.22  moles


    Step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the  moles of Al2O3.

 The  mole ratio  of Al : Al2O3 is  2: 1 therefore the moles of Al2O3= 2.22/2=1.11  moles


Step 3:    finds the mass  of  Al2O3  by us of  <u><em>mass= moles x molar mass</em></u><em> </em>formula.

The molar  mass of Al2O3  =  (2x27)  +( 16 x3) = 102  g/mol

mass is therefore=  102  g/mol  x 1.11= 113.22 grams

Where did the molecules of carbon dioxide come from while the tortilla chip was burning
CaHeK987 [17]
The answer can be explained when you burn something cleanly (with a very hot item) or not. With a candle lots of Carbon dioxide is producted but when using a bunson burner hardly any CO2 is produced.
