Answer:

Mass = 17.12 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 3.90 g

Mass of H₂SO₄ = 13.65

Mass of aluminium sulfate = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

Now we will calculate the number of moles of each reactant.

Moles of H₂SO₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 13.65 g/ 98.079 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.14 mol

Moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 3.90 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.14 mol

Now we will compare the moles of aluminium sulfate with sulfuric acid and aluminium.

H₂SO₄ : Al₂(SO₄)₃

3 : 1

0.14 : 1/3×0.14 = 0.05

Al : Al₂(SO₄)₃

2 : 1

0.14 : 1/2×0.14 = 0.07

The number of moles of aluminium sulfate produced by sulfuric acid are less so it will limiting reactant and limit the amount of aluminium sulfate.

Mass of aluminium sulfate:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.05 mol × 342.15 g/mol

Mass = 17.12 g

17.1g

Explanation:

Mass of aluminium = 3.9g

Mass of sulfuric acid = 13.65g

Unknown:

Mass of aluminium sulfate = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to:

Convert the mass to moles

Find the limiting reagent

The limiting reagent is the one in short supply in the reaction. It is important to delineate this reagent because it determines the extent of the reaction.

Also, it is important to obtain the balanced reaction equation:

2Al + 3H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3 H₂

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of Al = 27g/mol

H₂SO₄ = 2(1) + 32 + 4(16) = 98g/mol

Number of moles of Al = $\frac{3.9}{27}$ = 0.14mole

Number of moles of H₂SO₄ = $\frac{13.65}{98}$ = 0.14mole

2 mole of Al reacts with 3 mole of sulfuric acid

0.14 mole of Al will react with $\frac{0.14 x 3}{2}$ = 0.21mole

but the amount of sulfuric acid given is 0.14 mole this suggest the sulfuric acid is in short supply. It is the limiting reagent.

To find the number of mole of aluminium sulfate;

3 mole of sulfuric acid will produce 1 mole of the sulfate

0.14 mole of the sulfuric acid will produce $\frac{0.14}{3}$ = 0.05mole

Mass of the sulfate = number of moles x molar mass

molar mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 2(27) + 3(32 + 4(16)) = 342g/mole

Mass = 0.05 x 342 = 17.1g

In the SI system of units, the mole is one of seven base units. It is frequently used in chemical calculations. However, a mole

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer

Do you think that the mole should be considered a base unit in the SI system?

The mole is not a base unit on a par with the six property base units; it cannot be used in significant physical–chemical comparisons until the subscript parameter p in mole-of-Ep has been given a certain “value”."

Should the density of a metal depend on its volume?

jekas [21]

Answer:

Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. Density is an intensive property, meaning that it does not depend on the amount of material present in the sample. ... Since a cubic centimeter is equal to a milliliter, density units can also be expressed as g/mL.

A tank of 0.1m3 volume contains air at 25∘C and 101.33 kPa. The tank is connected to a compressed-air line which supplies air at

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Amount of Energy = 23,467.9278J

Explanation:

Given

Cv = 5/2R

Cp = 7/2R wjere R = Boltzmann constant = 8.314

The energy balance in the tank is given as

∆U = Q + W

According to the first law of thermodynamics

In the question, it can be observed that the volume of the reactor is unaltered

So, dV = W = 0.

The Internal energy to keep the tank's constant temperature is given as

∆U = Cv((45°C) - (25°C))

∆U = Cv((45 + 273) - (25 + 273))

∆U = Cv(20)

∆U = 5/2 * 8.314 * 20

∆U = 415.7 J/mol

Before calculating the heat loss of the tank, we must first calculate the amount of moles of gas that entered the tank where P1 = 101.33 kPa

The Initial mole is calculated as

(P * V)/(R * T)

Where P = P1 = 101.33kPa = 101330Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

So, n = (101330 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 4.089891232222

n = 4.089

Then we Calculate the final moles at P2 = 1500kPa = 1500000Pa

V = Volume of Tank = 0.1m³

R = 8.314J/molK

T = Initial Temperature = 25 + 273 = 298K

n = (1500000 * 0.1)/(8.314*298)

n = 60.54314465936812

n = 60.543

So, tue moles that entered the tank is ∆n

∆n = 60.543 - 4.089

∆n = 56.454

Amount of Energy is then calculated as:(∆n)(U)

Q = 415.7 * 56.454

Q = 23,467.9278J

The following initial rate data are for the reaction of hypochlorite ion with iodide ion in 1M aqueous hydroxide solution: OCI+r

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Rate = k [OCl] [I]

Explanation:

OCI+r → or +CI

Experiment [OCI] M I(-M) Rate (M/s)2

1 3.48 x 10-3 5.05 x 10-3 1.34 x 10-3

2 3.48 x 10-3 1.01 x 10-2 2.68 x 10-3

3 6.97 x 10-3 5.05 x 10-3 2.68 x 10-3

4 6.97 x 10-3 1.01 x 10-2 5.36 x 10-3

The table above able shows how the rate of the reaction is affected by changes in concentrations of the reactants.

In experiments 1 and 3, the conc of iodine is constant, however the rate is doubled and so is the conc of OCl. This means that the reaction is in first order with OCl.

In experiments 3 and 4, the conc of OCl is constant, however the rate is doubled and so is the conc of lodine. This means that the reaction is in first order with I.

The rate law is given as;

Rate = k [OCl] [I]
