A student determines the aluminum content of a solution by first precipitating it as aluminum hydroxide, and then decomposing th
Vladimir [108]

Answer: The student should obtain <u>1.103 g of aluminum oxide </u>

Explanation:

  • First we write down the equations that represent the aluminum hydroxide precipitation  from the reaction between the aluminum nitrate and the sodium hydroxide:

Al(NO3)3 + 3NaOH → 3NaNO3 + Al(OH)3

Now,  the equation that represents the decomposition of the hydroxide to aluminum oxide by heating it.

2Al(OH)3 → Al2O3 + 3H2O

  • Second, we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations.

Volumen of  Al(NO3)3 = 40mL

Molar concentration of Al(NO3)3 =  0.541M

Molecular Weight Al2O3 = 101.96 g/mol

  • Third, we start using the molar concentration of the aluminum nitrate and volume used to find out the total amount of moles that are reacting

\frac{0.541moles Al(NO3)3}{1L} x\frac{1L}{1000mL} x 40mL Al(NO3)3 =  0.022moles Al(NO3)3

then we use the molar coefficients from the  equations to discover the amount of Al2O3  moles produced

0.022moles Al(NO3)3 x \frac{1mol Al(OH)3}{1mol Al(NO3)3} X\frac{1mol Al2O3}{2molAl(OH)3} = 0.011 moles Al2O3

finally, we use the molecular weight of the Al2O3  to calculate the final mass produced.

0.011moles Al2O3 x \frac{101.96g Al2O3}{1mol Al2O3} = 1.103g Al2O3

Butane gas reacts with oxygen gas to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor (gas). If you mix butane and oxygen in the correct
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

118.776 mmHg

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

C4H10(g) + 13/2 O2(g) ------> 4CO2(g) + 5H20(g)

Now the mole ratio  according to the balanced reaction equation is;

1 : 6.5 : 4 : 5

Hence, the total number of moles present = 1 + 6.5 + 4 + 5 = 16.5 moles

Mole fraction of water vapour = 5/16.5 = 0.303

We also know that;

Partial pressure= mole fraction * total pressure

Partial pressure of H20(g) = 0.303 *  392 mmHg = 118.776 mmHg

an element has an isotope with a mass of 203.973 amu and and abundance of 1.40%. another isotope has a mass of 205.9745 amu with
ryzh [129]

Answer is: the average atomic mass 217.606 amu.

Ar₁= 203.973 amu; the average atomic mass of isotope.

Ar₂ = 205.9745 amu.

Ar₃ = 206.9745 amu.

Ar₄ = 207.9766 amu.

ω₁ = 1.40% = 0.014; mass percentage of isotope.

ω₂ = 24.10% = 0.241.

ω₃ = 22.10% = 0.221.

ω₄ = 57.40% = 0.574.

Ar = Ar₁ · ω₁+ Ar₂ · ω₂ + Ar₃ · ω₃ + Ar₄ · ω₄.  

Ar = 203.973 amu · 0.014 + 205.9745 amu · 0.241 + 206.9745 amu · 0.221 + 207.9766 amu · 0.574.

Ar = 2.855 amu + 49.632 amu + 45.741 amu + 119.378 amu.

Ar = 217.606 amu.

But abundance of isotopes is greater than 100%.

It should be lead, with the fourth isotope weighs 207.9766 amu and an abundance of 52.40.
