The other chlorides are simple covalent molecules. Melting and boiling points: Sodium and magnesium chlorides are solids with high melting and boiling points because of the large amount of heat which is needed to break the strong ionic attractions. The rest are liquids or low melting point solids.Sep 16, 2015

How many moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 moles of Fe0

DIA [1.3K]

0.8 moles

3 moles of feO gives you 2 moles of Al and 1.2 of your moles should give you 1.2 divided by 3*2 so it equals 0.80 moles

Right?

A cylinder is filled with 10.0L of gas and a piston is put into it. The initial pressure of the gas is measured to be 209.kPa. T

disa [49]

Answer : The final pressure of the gas will be, 26.8 kPa

Explanation :

According to the Boyle's law, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature of the gas and the number of moles of gas.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

or,

$PV=k$

or,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of the gas = 209 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of the gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of the gas = 10.0 L

$V_2$ = final volume of the gas = 78.0 L

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the final pressure of the gas.

$209kPa\times 10.0L=P_2\times 78.0L$

$P_2=26.8kPa$

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas will be, 26.8 kPa

<h3>Answer:</h3>

162.43 g of FeCl₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Step 1: Calculate mass of Fe;

As,

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

Or,

Mass = Density × Volume

Where Volume is the volume of water displaced = 10.4 mL

Putting values,

Mass = 7.86 g.mL⁻¹ × 10.4 mL

Mass = 81.744 g of Fe

Step 2: Calculate amount of FeCl₂;

The balance chemical equation is as follow,

Fe + 2 HCl → FeCl₂ + H₂ ↑

According to this equation,

55.85 g (1 mol) Fe produced = 110.98 g (1 mol) of FeCl₂

So,

81.744 g Fe will produce = X g of FeCl₂

Solving for X,

X = (81.744 g × 110.98 g) ÷ 55.85 g

X = 162.43 g of FeCl₂

Sum of brother and sisters age is 26. Four times the brothers age is subtracted from three times the sisters age, the difference

lana66690 [7]

Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

Solution :

Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'

There are two equations formed which are,

x + y = 26 ..........(1)

3y - 4x = 8 ..........(2)

First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.

$4x+4y+3y-4x=8+26\\\\7y=112\\\\y=16$

Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'

3(16) - 4x = 8

4x = 40

x = 10

The age of brother = x = 10 years

The age of sister = y = 16 years

Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.
