it means basically the same thing but can be used in different context. like if someone says, "lets diffuse the situation." it means lets separate it and find out what's going on with it. Like if you don't understand a sentence when you were younger your teacher would tell you to break down the sentence, and try to use context clues. What you are doing is diffusing the sentence so that your not looking at it as one big confusing sentence, your "breaking it down" and that helps you a lot. I hope I helped you, if not let me know and I can diffuse the topic a little more to make it more approachable and easy to understand. :)
So,
Our conceptual plan is as follows:
g AlCl3 --> mol AlCl3 --> mol H2 --> g H2
Hope this helps!
Answer:- Third choice is correct, 17.6 moles
Solution:- The given balanced equation is:
Al_2(SO_4)_3+6KOH\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3+3K_2SO_4
We are asked to calculate the moles of potassium hydroxide needed to completely react with 2.94 moles of aluminium sulfate.
From the balanced equation, there is 1:6 mol ratio between aluminium sulfate and potassium hydroxide.
It is a simple mole to mole conversion problem. We solve it using dimensional set up as:
2.94molAl_2(SO_4)_3(\frac{6molKOH}{1molAl_2(SO_4)_3})
= 17.6 mol KOH
So, Third choice is correct, 17.6 moles of potassium hydroxide are required to react with 2.94 moles of aluminium sulfate.
