Answer:

The answer to your question is a) limiting reactant SO₂

                                                     b)mass of SO₃ produced 31.25 g

Explanation:

Data

mass of SO₂ = 25 g

mass of O₂ = 40 g

Balanced Reaction

                                     2SO₂   +   O₂   ⇒   2SO₃

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of the reactants

SO₂ = 32 + (16 x 2) = 32 + 32 = 64

O₂ = 16 x 2 =32

2.- Use proportions to determine the limiting reactant

Theoretical proportion    2(SO₂) / O₂ = 2(64) / 32 = 4

Experimental proportion   SO₂ / O₂ = 25 / 40 = 0.625

From these results, we determined that the limiting reactant is SO₂, because the proportion in the experiment is lower.

3.- Amount of SO₃ produced

Mass of SO₃ = 32 + (3 x 16) = 80 g

                        128 g of SO₂   ---------------  2(80) g of SO₃

                        25 g of SO₂    ---------------   x

                         x = (25 x 2 x 80) / 128

                         x = 31.25 g of SO₃

How many moles of aluminum oxide al2o3 are in a sample with a mass of 204.0
erik [133]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

Let us first start by calculating the molecular mass of Al₂O₃.

The mass of a mole of any compound is called it's molar mass. 1 molar mass 6.02 X 10²³, or Avogadro's number, of compound entities.

Say, 1 mole of Al₂O₃ has 6.02 X 10²³ of Al₂O₃ molecules/atoms. It also has 2*6.02 X 10²³ number of Al atoms and 3*6.02 X 10²³ number of O atoms.

Molecular mass of Al : 26.981539 u

Molecular mass of O: 15.999 u

Therefore, molecular mass of Al₂O₃ is:

= (2*26.981539) + (3*15.999) u

= 101.960078 u

This can be approximated to 102 u.

1mole weighs 102 u

So, 2moles will weigh 2*102 = 204 u

Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions? Which is generally stronger, intermolec
Inessa [10]

Answer:

A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.

B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.

Explanation:

<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>

Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.

<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>

When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.
