Answer:

Theoretical yield = 31.8 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

For Al_2O_3

Mass of Al_2O_3  = 60.0 g

Molar mass of Al_2O_3  = 101.96128 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{60.0\ g}{101.96128\ g/mol}

Moles_{Al_2O_3}= 0.5885\ mol

Given: For C

Given mass = 30.0 g

Molar mass of C  = 12.0107 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{30.0\ g}{12.0107\ g/mol}

Moles_{C}= 2.4978\ mol

According to the given reaction:

Al_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 2Al+3CO

1 mole of aluminium oxide react with 3 moles of carbon

0.5885 mole of aluminium oxide react with 3\times 0.5885 moles of carbon

Moles of carbon = 1.7655 moles

Available moles of carbon = 2.4978 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, aluminium oxide is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of aluminium oxide on reaction forms 2 moles of aluminium.

0.5885 mole of aluminium oxide on reaction forms 2\times 0.5885 moles of aluminium.

Moles of aluminium = 1.177 moles

Molar mass of aluminium = 26.981539 g/mol

Mass of sodium sulfate = Moles × Molar mass = 1.177 × 26.981539 g = 31.8 g

<u> Theoretical yield = 31.8 g</u>

Which three factor are most important in determining the composition of ocean water
lina2011 [118]
<span>There are factors that are important to be determined for the composition of ocean water. First factor is the temperatue, by this you will be able to know the rate of evaporation of the sea. Next is the salinity, through this you will be able to know salty the sea is which will help you identify the last factor- density. The density is the most common because when there is more salt in the sea, it is less dense.</span>

A biologist working in a lab adds a compound to a solution that contains an enzyme and substrate. This particular compound binds
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Adding more substrate would overcome  the effect of the compound

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They act on specific substrate to convert them to products.
  • Compounds known as inhibitors slow down the rate of enzyme activity.
  • Inhibitors are classified as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
  • Competitive inhibitors will compete with the substrate to bind the active sites on the enzyme. The effect of competitive inhibitors may be reduced by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
  • The compound added by the biologist was a competitive inhibitor and therefore adding more substrate would overcome its effect on enzyme catalysis
  • Non-competitive inhibitors binds the active site of the enzyme permanently and prevents the substrate from accessing the active sites.
