A mixture contains only NaCl and Al2(SO4)3. A 1.45-g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an ex- cess of NaOH is add

ed, producing a precipitate of Al(OH)3. The precipitate is filtered, dried, and weighed. The mass of the precipitate is 0.107 g. What is the mass percent of Al2(SO4)3 in the sample?

Answer:

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample is 16.18%.

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 1.45 g

$Al_2SO_3+6NaOH\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3+3Na_2SO_4$

Mass of the precipitate = 0.107 g

Moles of aluminum hydroxide = $\frac{0.107 g}{78 g/mol}=0.001372 mol$

According to reaction, 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide is obtained from 1 mole of aluminum sulfate .

Then 0.001372 moles of aluminum hydroxide will be obtained from:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.001372 mol=0.000686 mol$

Mass of 0.000686 moles of aluminum sulfate :

= 0.000686 mol × 342 g/mol = 0.2346 g

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample:

$=\frac{ 0.2346 g}{1.45g}\times 100=16.18\%$

Xco3 enter the group number of x

Mademuasel [1]

We know that C has a formal charge of +4 while each O element has a formal charge of -2, therefore the formal charge of X is:

X + 2 – 2 * 3 = 0

X + 2 – 6 = 0

X = 4

<span>So X has a group number of 4.</span>

Pulverized coal pellets, which may be approximated as carbon spheres of radius ro= 1 mm, are burned in a pure oxygen atmosphere

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

SO; If we assume that:

P should be the diffusion of oxygen towards the surface ; &

Q should be the diffusion of carbondioxide away from the surface.

Then the total molar flux of oxygen is illustrated by :

$Na,x = - cD_{PQ}\frac{dy_P}{dr} +y_P(NP,x + N_Q,x)$

where;

r is the radial distance from the center of the carbon particle.

Since ;

$N_P,x = - N_Q, x$ ; we have:

$Na,x = - cD_{PQ}\frac{dy_P}{dr}$

The system is not steady state and the molar flux is not independent of r because the area of mass transfer $4\pi r^{2}$ is not a constant term.

Therefore, using quasi steady state assumption, the mass transfer rate $4\pi r^{2}N_{P,x}$ is assumed to be independent of r at any instant of time.

$W_{P}=4\pi r^{2}N_{P,x}$

$W_{P}=-4\pi r^{2}cD_{PQ}\frac{dy_{P}}{dr}$

= constant

The oxygen concentration at the surface of the coal particle $yP,R$ will be calculated from the reaction at the surface.

The mole fraction of oxygen at a location far from pellet is 1.

Thus, separating the variables and integrating result into the following:

$W_{P}\int_{R}^{\infty} \frac{dr}{r^{2}}=-4\pi$

$r^{2}cD_{PQ}\int_{y_{P,R}}^{y_{P,\infty }}dy_{P}$

$-W_{P}\frac{1}{r}\mid ^{\infty }_{R}= -4\pi cD_{PQ}(y_{P,\infty }-y_{P,R})$

$=> W_{P}= - 4\pi cD_{PQ}(1-y_{P,R})R$

The mole of oxygen arrived at the carbon surface is equal to the mole of oxygen consumed by the chemical reaction.

$W_{P} = 4 \pi R^2R"$

$W_{P}= 4\pi R^{2}k_{1}"C_{O_{2}}\mid _{R}$

$W_{P}= 4\pi R^{2}k_{1}"c y _{P,R}$

$-4\pi cD_{PQ}(1-y_{P,R})R= - 4\pi R^{2}k_{1}"c y _{P,R}$

$y_{P,R}=\frac{D_{PQ}}{D_{PQ}+Rk_{1}}$

$y_{P,R}=\frac{1.7 \times 10^{-4}}{1.7\times 10^{-4}+10^{-3}\times 0.1}$

$\mathbf{= 0.631}$

Obtaining the total gas concentration from the ideal gas law; we have the following:

where;

R= $0.082m^3atm/kmolK$

$c=\frac{P}{RT} \\ \\ c=\frac{1}{0.082\times 1450} \\ \\ = 0.008405kmol/m^3$

The steady state $O_2$ molar consumption rate is:

$W_{P}= -4\pi cD_{PQ}(1-y_{P,R})R$

$W_{P}= -4\pi (0.008405)(1.7\times 10^{-4})(1-0.631)(10^{-3})$

$W_{P}= - 6.66\times 10^{-9}kmol/s$
