What happens when wind sweeps up sand and throws it against a big rock?

RideAnS [48]

In deserts, wind often causes weathering by blowing sand and other material against cliffs and large rocks. This wears them down and creates more bits of sand and dust. Over time, the rock is scraped and polished away. ... When a gust of wind blows, it picks up sand and other bits of material.

Convert 6.35 grams of aluminum sulfate to moles

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

There are 0.0186 moles of formula units in 6.35 grams of aluminum sulfate $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ .

Explanation:

What's the empirical formula of aluminum sulfate?

Sulfate is an anion with a charge of -2 per ion. When sulfate ions are bonded to metals, the compound is likely ionic.

Aluminum is a group III metal. Its ions tend to carry a charge of +3 per ion.

The empirical formula of an ionic compound shall balance the charge on ions with as few ions as possible.

The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. That is:

Three sulfate ions $\rm {SO_4}^{2-}$ will give a charge of -6.
Two aluminum ions $\rm Al^{3+}$ will give a charge of +6.

Pairing three $\rm {SO_4}^{2-}$ ions with two $\rm Al^{3+}$ will balance the charge. Hence the empirical formula: $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ .

What's the mass of one mole of aluminum sulfate? In other words, what's the formula mass of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ ?

Refer to a modern periodic table for relative atomic mass data:

Al: 26.982;
S: 32.06;
O: 15.999.

There are

two Al,
three S, and
twelve O

in one formula unit of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ .

Hence the formula mass of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ :

$\underbrace{2\times 26.982}_{\rm Al} + \underbrace{3\times 32.06}_{\rm S} + \underbrace{12\times 15.999}_{\rm O} = \rm 342.132\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

How many moles of formula units in 6.35 grams of $\rm Al_2(SO_4)_3$ ?

$\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \rm \frac{6.35\;g}{342.132\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 0.0186\;mol$ .

When a person pushes off a wall with 15N of force,how much force does the wall push back

aivan3 [116]

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force so that means that the wall is pushing you with the same amount of force that you put on it.
