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>

1. An ion is a charged atom. A molecule is a neutrally-charged combination of atoms.

2. A molecule is a combination of atoms. It can consist of atoms from one or more elements. For example, an oxygen molecule comprises two oxygen atoms. A compound is a substance made up of a combination of atoms of different elements. For example, water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen.

3. An electron dot diagram is a simple way of representing the bond and electronic structure of molecules. A formula is a written representation of the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule.

4. As above...a formula denotes which atoms are in a molecule and how many. For example, H2SO4 tells us there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms in each molecule of sulfuric acid.

5. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that stems from electrostatic attraction between ions with opposite charges. A covalent bond is another type of chemical bond that involves sharing of electrons between atoms in order to achieve a stable electronic structure for the molecule as a whole.
