Answer:

There is 26.59 grams of aluminium sulfate produced

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of aluminium = 11.7 grams

Mass of copper (II) sulfate = 37.2 grams

Molar mass of Aluminium = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.61 g/mol

Molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 342.15 g/mol

<u />

<u>Step 2</u>: The balanced equation

2Al + 3CuSO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3Cu

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles of Aluminium

Moles Al = mass Al / molar mass Al

Moles Al = 11.7 grams / 26.98 g/mol

Moles Al = 0.434 mol

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate moles of CuSO4

Moles CuSO4 = 37.2 grams / 159.61 g/mol

Moles CuSO4 = 0.233 moles

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate limiting reactant

For 2 moles of Al we need 3 moles of CuSO4

CuSO4 is the limiting reactant. It will be completely consumed (0.233 moles).

Al is in excess. There will be consumed 0.233 *(2/3) = 0.1553 moles

There will remain 0.434 - 0.1553 = 0.2787 moles

<u>Step 6: </u>Calculate moles of Al2(SO4)3

For 2 moles of Al we need 3 moles of CuSO4, to produce 1 mole of Al2(SO4)3 and  3 moles of Cu

For 0.233 moles CuSO4 we produce 0.233/3 = 0.0777 moles of Al2(SO4)3

<u>Step 7</u>: Calculate mass of Al2(SO4)3

Mass of Al2(SO4)3 = moles Al2(SO4)3 * molar mass Al2(SO4)3

Mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 0.0777 moles * 342.15g/mol

Mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 26.59 grams

There is 26.59 grams of aluminium sulfate produced

A 1.000 g sample of an unknown hydrate of cobalt chloride is gently dehydrated. The resulting mass is 0.546 g. The cobalt is iso
ira [324]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the 1 g sample you have:

0.546 grams of cobalt chloride

1-0.546=0.454 grams of water

Now:

1) The salt

Of the 0.546 g, 0.248 g are cobalt (Mr=58.9) and the rest id Cl (Mr=35.45):

n_{Co}=\frac{0.248 g}{58.9 g/mol}=4.21*10^{-3}mol

n_{Cl}=\frac{0.298 g}{35.45g/mol}=8.4*10^{-3}mol

Dividing:

\frac{n_{Cl}}{n_{Co}}=\frac{8.4*10^{-3}mol}{4.21*10^{-3}mol}=2

So the molecular formula will be:

CoCl_2

2) The water

The water's molecular weight is M=18 :

n_{w}=\frac{0.454g}{18g/mol}=0.025 mol

Bonding with the Co:

\frac{n_{w}}{n_{Co}}=\frac{0.025mol}{4.21*10^{-3}mol}=6

The complete formula of the hydrate:

CoCl_2*6 H_2O

A 216-L cylinder holds propane gas at 184.8 kPa of pressure and 127°C. How many moles of propane are in the cylinder?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

12 moles of propane.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume (V) = 216 L

Pressure (P) = 184.8 KPa

Temperature (T) = 127 °C

Number of mole (n) =?

Next, we shall convert 127 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

T(°C) = 127 °C

T(K) = 127 + 273

T(K) = 400 K

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of propane gas in the container. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume (V) = 216 L

Pressure (P) = 184.8 KPa

Temperature (T) = 400 K

Gas constant (R) = 8.314 L.KPa/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

184.8 × 216 = n × 8.314 × 400

39916.8 = n × 3325.6

Divide both side by 3325.6

n = 39916.8 / 3325.6

n = 12 moles

Thus, 12 moles of propane is present in the cylinder

The solubility of KCl is 3.7 M at 20 °C. Two beakers each contain 100. mL of saturated KCl solution: 100. mL of 4.0 M HCl is add
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a)The Ksp was found to be equal to 13.69

Explanation:

Terminology

Qsp of a dissolving ionic solid — is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution.

Ksp however, is the solubility product of the concentration of ions in solution at EQUILIBRIUM with the dissolving ionic solid.

Note that if Qsp > Ksp , the solid at a certain temperature, will precipitate and form solid. That means the equilibrium will shift to the left in order to attain or reach equilibrium (Ksp).

Step-by-step solution:

To solve this: 

#./ Substitute the molar solubility of KCl as given into the ion-product equation to find the Ksp of KCl.

#./ Find the total concentration of ionic chloride in each beaker after the addition of HCl. We pay attention to the amount moles present at the beginning and the moles added.

#./ Find the Qsp value to to know if Ksp is exceeded. If Qsp < Ksp, nothing will precipitate.

a) The equation of solubility equilibrium for KCL is thus;

KCL_(s) ---> K+(aq) + Cl- (aq)

The solubility of KCl given is 3.7 M.

Ksp= [K+][Cl-] = (3.7)(3.7) =13.69

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

In pure water KCl

Ksp =13.69 KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let x= molar solubility [K+],/[Cl-] :. × , x

Ksp =13.69 = [K+][Cl-] = (x)(x) = x²

x= √ 13.69 = 3.7 M moles of KCl requires to make 100mL saturated solutio

37M moles/L

The Ksp was found to be equal to 14.

4.0 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let y= molar solubility :. y, y+4

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (y)(y*+4)= y(4)

13.69=4y:. y= 3.42 moles/100mL

y= 34.2moles/L

8 M HCl = KCl =[K+][Cl-]

Let b= molar solubility :. B, b+8

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)

* - rule of thumb

Ksp =13.69= [K+][Cl-] = (b)(b*+8)= b(8)

13.69=8b:. b= 1.71 moles/100mL

17.1 moles/L

Therefore in a solution with a common ion, the solubility of the compound reduces dramatically.
