1.64 + 4.66 = 6.3
1.64/6.3 = 0.2603174603 = 26%

Answer : The percentage of salt in the mixture is 73.65 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of salt = 1.64 lb

Mass of water = 4.66 lb

First we have to calculate the mass of mixture.

Mass of mixture = Mass of salt + Mass of water

Mass of mixture = 1.64 + 4.66 = 6.3 lb

Now we have to calculate the percentage of salt in the mixture.

Formula used :

$\% \text{ of salt}=\frac{\text{Mass of salt}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100$

Now put all the given vales in this formula, we get:

$\% \text{ of salt}=\frac{4.64lb}{6.3lb}\times 100=73.65\%$

Therefore, the percentage of salt in the mixture is 73.65 %

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:

sleet_krkn [62]

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) This is the balanced.
From the equation:

4 moles of Al required 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Al2O3

3 moles of O2 reacted with 4 moles of Al to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
1 mole of O2 reacted with 4/3 moles of Al to produce 2/3 moles of Al2O3 (Divide by 3)
4.5 moles of O2 reacted with (4/3 *4.5) moles of Al to produce (2/3*4.5) moles of Al2O3

4.5 moles of O2 reacted with 6moles of Al to produce 3moles of Al2O3

(3) is the answer. 6 mol of Al.

Se hace reaccionar 4,00 g de aluminio y 42,00 g de bromo, según la reacción: Al(s)+Br2(l)⟶AlBr3(s) Calcular las moles de AlBr3(s

NeX [460]

Answer:

0.145 moles de AlBr3.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, al considerar la reacción química dada:

Al(s)+Br2(l)⟶AlBr3(s)

Es claro que primero debemos balancearla como se muestra a continuación:

2Al(s)+3Br2(l)⟶2AlBr3(s)

Así, calculamos las moles del producto AlBr3 por medio de las masas de ambos reactivos, con el fin de decidir el resultado correcto:

$n_{AlBr_3}^{por\ Al}=4.00gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl} *\frac{2molAlBr_3}{2molAl}=0.145mol AlBr_3\\\\n_{AlBr_3}^{por\ Br_2}=42.00gr*\frac{1molr}{160g Br_2} *\frac{2molAlBr_3}{3molBr_2}=0.175mol AlBr_3$
