The limiting  reactant  when 5.6  moles   of aluminium react  with  6.2  moles   of water   is

      water( H2O)


      <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The  balanced    equation is as below

2 Al +3 H2O  →  Al2O3  +3 H2

The mole ratio  of Al :Al2O3  is 2:1  therefore  the  moles  of  Al2O3

  = 5.6 x1/2  =  2.8  moles


The   mole  ratio  of H2O: Al2O3  is 3:1 therefore  the  moles  of Al2O3  produced

                 = 6.2  x1/3= 2.067  moles


since  H2O  yield  less  amount  of Al2O3 ,  H2O   is  the limiting reagent.

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of Al = 5.6 moles

Moles of H2O = 6.2 moles

<u>To determine:</u>

The limiting reagent

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical reaction is-

2Al + 3H2O → Al2O3 + 3H2

- Based on stoichiometry; 2 moles of Al forms 1 mole of Al2O3

Therefore, 5.6 moles of Al would give: 5.6 Al * 1 Al2O3/2 Al = 2.8 moles Al2O3

-Similarly; 3 moles of H2O forms 1 mole of Al2O2

Therefore, 6.2 moles of H2O would give: 6.2 H2O * 1 Al2O3/3 H2O = 2.07 moles Al2O3

Ans: Since the amount (moles) of Al2O3 formed from H2O is less, water is the limiting reagent.

II. Binding Forces A. Write a brief, one or two sentence, description of each binding force listed below. 1. London dispersion f
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

All description is given in explanation.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces:

It is the general term used to describe the attraction or repulsion between the molecules. Vander waals force consist of two types of forces:

1.  London dispersion forces

2.  Dipole-dipole forces

1. London dispersion forces:

These are the weakest intermolecular forces. These are the temporary because when the electrons of atoms come close together they create temporary dipole, one end of an atom where the electronic density is high is create negative pole while the other becomes positive . These forces are also called induce dipole- induce dipole interaction.

2.  Dipole-dipole forces:

These are attractive forces , present between the molecules that are permanently polar. They are present between the positive end of one polar molecules and the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Hydrogen bonding:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the atoms which are chemically bonded. The one atom is hydrogen while the other electronegative atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. This is weaker than covalent and ionic bond.

Ionic bond or electrostatic attraction:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the oppositely charged ions. This is formed when an atom loses its electron and create positive charge and other atom accept its electron and create negative charge.

Hydrophobic interaction:

It is the interaction between the water and hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic materials are long chain carbon containing compound. These or insoluble in water.

Covalent bond:

These compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms of same elements are between the different element's atoms. The covalent bond is less stronger than ionic bond so require less energy to break as compared to the energy require to break the ionic bond.

There are 0.3 moles of xenon gas in a 0.5-liter container at 30 degrees C. What is the pressure exerted by the xenon gas
Kaylis [27]
PV = nRT
P = (nRT)/V
P = (0.3 mol × 0.08206 atm-l/(mol-K) × (273.15 + 30) K)/(0.5 l)
P = 14.9258934 atm

Compare the patterns of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges on earth?
IgorC [24]

At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occurs as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes form between the plates, as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle. Second, two plates may come together, at a converging plate boundary. Two situations are possible at converging plate boundaries.
