Answer:

Aluminum is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Data Given:

Amount aluminum metal (Al) = 1.5 mole

chlorine gas (Cl₂) = 3 mole

limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

limiting reactant: The amount of reactant that consume first in a reaction is termed as limiting reagent or limiting reactant.

Excess reagent: the amount of reactant that remain unreacted at the end of the reaction is termed as excess reagent.

Now to look for the limiting regent we have to look at reaction

Reaction:

           2 Al + 3 Cl₂  --------> 2 AlCl₃

from this balance reaction we come to know that 2 mole of Aluminum metal react with 3 mole of chlorine gas. It means that amount of aluminum is less and it will consume first and act as limiting reactant.

To know with how much chlorine gas it will react apply unity formula

                2 mole of Al ≅ 3 mole of Cl₂

               1.5 mole of Al ≅ X mole of Cl₂

So,

                mole of Cl₂ =   3 mole x  1.5 mole / 2 mol

                mole of Cl₂ =   2.25 mol

So, 1.5 mol Aluminum consumed fully and react with 2.25 mol of Chlorine and 0.75 mol remain unreacted.

Aluminum is limiting reactant.

What are the relevant equations for oxidation and reduction<br><br>​
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

There are many equations for oxidation and reduction, but the most relevant ones are the equations for the half-reactions. In general, the equation for oxidation is:

Oxidation: Reducing Agent + O2 → Oxidizing Agent

And the equation for reduction is:

Reduction: Oxidizing Agent + e- → Reducing Agent

These equations show the transfer of electrons that occurs during oxidation and reduction.

WILL RECIEVE MEDAL!If 1.2 kilograms of rust form on a bridge in five days, what should be the rate of reaction in grams per hour
serious [3.7K]
<span>Since the answer is in grams, kilograms must first be converted to grams. A kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams. Therefore, multiply 1.2 kilograms by 1000 and you get 1,200 grams. Then, calculate the number of hours in 5 days. Each day is 24 hours and 24 hours multiplied by 5 days equals 120 hours. Lastly, since the answer is in grams per hour, divide 1,200 grams by 120 hours and the resultant rate of reaction is 10 g/hr.</span>

Consider an electron placed in a region of space in which the electric potential spatially. The electron is placed at a point wh
loris [4]

Answer:

1.33\cdot 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

For a charged particle accelerated by an electric field, the kinetic energy gained by the particle is equal to the decrease in electric potential energy of the particle; therefore:

K_f-K_i = -q\Delta V

where

K_f is the final kinetic energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

q is the charge of the particle

\Delta V is the potential difference

In this problem,

q=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the charge of the electron

\Delta V=-500 V-(-1000 V)=500 V

The electron starts from rest, so its initial kinetic energy is

K_i=0

Therefore,

K_f=-(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(500)=8\cdot 10^{-17}J

We can write the final kinetic energy of the electron as

K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg is the electron mass

v is the final speed

And solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(8\cdot 10^{-17})}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}}}=1.33\cdot 10^7 m/s

What would indicate that a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire?
Lina20 [59]

Any change in which the composition of material does not change that is it retains its identity but changes its state or form is known as a physical change.

The properties of metal to draw them into wires is known as ductility.  When a copper is drawn into wire the only change that occurs is change in its shape and size no change will take place into its composition that is the wires are still possessing the properties of copper metal. Thus, a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire.
