Answer:

a) Limiting: sulfur. Excess: aluminium.

b) 1.56g Al₂S₃.

c) 0.72g Al

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the initial mass of both aluminium and sulfur are missing, therefore, one could assume they are 1.00 g for each one. Thus, by considering the undergoing chemical reaction turns out:

2Al(s)+3S_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2S_3(s)\\

a) Thus, considering the assumed mass (which could be changed based on the one you are given), the limiting reagent is identified as shown below:

n_S^{available}=1.00gS_2*\frac{1molS_2}{64gS_2} =0.0156molS_2\\n_S^{consumed\ by \ Al}=1.00gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molS_2}{2molAl}=0.0556molS_2

Thereby, since there 1.00g of aluminium will consume 0.0554 mol of sulfur but there are just 0.0156 mol available, the limiting reagent is sulfur and the excess reagent is aluminium.

b) By stoichiometry, the produced grams of aluminium sulfide are:

m_{Al_2S_3}=0.0156molS_2*\frac{2molAl_2S_3}{3molS_2} *\frac{150gAl_2S_3}{1molAl_2S_3} =1.56gAl_2S_3

c) The leftover is computed as follows:

m_{Al}^{excess}=(0.0556-0.0156)molS_2*\frac{2molAl}{3molS_2}*\frac{27gAl}{1molAl} =0.72 gAl\\

NOTE: Remember I assumed the quantities, they could change based on those you are given, so the results might be different, but the procedure is quite the same.

Best regards.

What is the radius of a hydrogen atom whose electron is bound by 0.544 ev? express your answer with the appropriate units?
insens350 [35]
First, we need to calculate the principal quantum number n for this electron, using the equation:
E = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
where E is the energy that is used to bound the electron (here, E = - 0.544 eV).
- 0.544 eV = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
n x n = (- 13.60 eV) / (- 0.544 eV)
n x n = 25
n = 5

The orbital radius that is equal to the radius of a hydrogen atom is calculated using the equation:
r = 0.053 nm x n x n
r = 0.053 nm x 5 x 5
r = 0.053 nm x 25
r = 1.325 nm

How to determine the type of hybridization in a coordination compound​
Drupady [299]

Answer:

1. The metal atom/ion in these compounds are Ni and Ni2+ respectively.

2. The electrons from s oribital will jump to d orbital and so I expect CO to donate electron pairs in 4p and 4s orbitals and form sp3 hybridisation.

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: Moon A and Moon B. The mass of the new planet is greater t
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: The gravitational pull on Moon B is greater than on Moon A because Moon B is closer to the new planet than Moon A.

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted by the two objects on each other is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

F=G\frac{mM}{r^2}

F = gravitational force or pull

G = gravitational constant on that planet

M =  mass of the object-1

m = mass of object-2(Mass of Moon-A or Moon-B)

r = distance between two objects

Force\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

With decease in distance 'r' the force between the object increases or vice versa.So, from this we can say that the gravitational pull on Moon-B is more than the gravitational pull on Moon-A because the Moon B is closer than the Moon-A from the new planet.
