An element A has a triiodide with the formula AI₃ and a trichloride with the formula ACl₃. The triiodide is quantitatively conve

rted to the trichloride when it is heated in a stream of chlorine, according to the reaction.
AI₃ + 3/2 Cl₂ → ACl₃ + 3/2 I₂ If 0.8000 g AI₃ is treated, 0.3776 g ACl₃ is obtained.
Calculate the atomic mass of the element A. Identify the element A.

Answer:

The element A is Lanthanum, with a molar mass of 138.9g/mol

Explanation:

AI3 + 3/2 Cl2  →  3/2 I2 + ACl3

Compounds :

Al  ⇒ Molar mass = M

AI3 ⇒ Molar mass = M + 3*126.9

ACl3 ⇒Molar mass = M + 3*35.45

For 1 mole AI3 we have 1 mole ACl3

(0.800g * AI3) / ( M + 3*126,90)g/mole    =   (0.3776 g * ACl3) / (M + 3*35,45)g/mole

0.800 *(M + 3*35,45)  = 0.3776(M + 3*126,90)

0.8M  + 85.08 = 0.3776M + 143.75

0.8M - 0.3776M = 143.75-85.08

0.4224M = 58.67

M =138.9 g/mol

So A has a Molar mass of 138.9 g/mol ⇒ if we look at the periodic table we can find that Lanthanum (La) has a Molar mass of 138.9g/mol.

7. What is the mass of a piece of copper (Cu) that undergoes a 25.0 °C
Olegator [25]

Answer:

0.0428 kg or 42.8 g

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cmΔt.............. Equation 1

Where Q = heat lost of heat gained, c = specific heat capacity of copper, m = mass of copper, Δt = temperature change.

make m the subject of the equation above

m = Q/cΔt.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 428 J, Δt = 25 °C

Constant: c = 400 J/kg.°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = 428/(25×400)

m = 0.0428 kg

m = 42.8 g

Write and balance chemical equations for gas producing reaction with sodium carbonate
choli [55]

Chemical reactions convert reactants to products, whose properties differ from those of the reactants. Chemical equations are a compact and convenient way to represent chemical reactions. They have the general form

Reactant(s) → Product(s)

The arrow in the equation means "changes to" or "forms." The reaction of gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia, NH 3 , is represented by the chemical equation

Although there are thousands of chemical reactions, a significant number of them, especially those that are not organic reactions, can be classified according to four general patterns: combination, decomposition, displacement, and exchange.

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of aluminum in a 1.0 M aluminum ion solution and another electrode c
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

E° = 2.46 V

Explanation:

We have a voltaic cell of aluminum and silver in their respective solutions. To know where will take place the reduction (cathode) and where will take place the oxidation (anode), we need to compare the standard reduction potentials.

E°(Al³⁺/Al) = -1.66 V

E°(Ag⁺/Ag) = +0.80 V

Since Ag⁺/Ag has the highest reduction potential that is where reduction will take place while oxidation will take place in the Al electrode.

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ ⇒ Ag(s)

Oxidation (anode): Al(s) ⇒ Al³⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻

The standard potential of the cell (E°) is the difference between the reduction potential of the cathode and the reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red,cathode - E°red,anode = 0.80 V - (-1.66V) = 2.46 V
