Answer: 17.34 grams of alum will be produced if 0.9875 g of Aluminium foil was used.

Explanation: Reaction to form alum from Aluminium is given as:

$2Al(s)+2KOH(aq.)+2H_2O(l)+4H_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow 2KAl(SO_4)_2(s).12H_2O(l)+3H_2(g)$

We are given Aluminium to be the limiting reactant, so the formation of alum will be dependent on Aluminium because it limits the formation of product.

By stoichiometry,

2 moles of Al is producing 2 moles of Alum

Mass of 2 moles of Aluminium = (2 × 27)g/mol = 54 g/mol

Mass of 2 moles of alum = (2 × 474)g/mol = 948 g/mol

54 g/mol of aluminium will produce 948 g/mol of alum, so

$\text{0.9875 grams of aluminium will produce}=\frac{948g/mol}{54g/mol}\times 0.9875g$

Amount of Alum produced = 17.34 grams

Theoretical yield of alum = 17.34 grams.

6. Think of some other chemical reactions. List them and the type of reaction: exothermic or endothermic. Example: Burning coal

Oksanka [162]

Remember: energy is conserved in a chemical reaction (visualize the reaction and question whether heat lies on reactant side (left) or product side (right))

-exothermic- heat is released (heat is on the product side)

>forming an ionic lattice (SALT)- mixture of Na and Cl results in a more stable ionic lattice, causing this reaction to be exothermic

>burning wood

-endothermic- heat is absorbed (heat is on the reactant side)

> cooking an egg

Sodium carbonate can be made by heating sodium bicarbonate: 2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) At 25°C, for this reaction,

insens350 [35]

Answer:

401.17 K is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous under standard state conditions.

Explanation:

The expression for the standard change in free energy is:

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\times \Delta S$

Where,

$\Delta G$ is the change in the Gibbs free energy.

T is the absolute temperature. (T in kelvins)

$\Delta H$ is the enthalpy change of the reaction.

$\Delta S$ is the change in entropy.

Given at:-

Temperature = 25.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

$\Delta H$ = 128.9 kJ/mol

$\Delta G$ = 33.1 kJ/mol

Applying in the above equation, we get as:-

$33.1=128.9-298.15\times \Delta S$

$-29815\Delta S=-9580$

$\Delta S=-9580$ = 0.32131 kJ/Kmol

So, For reaction to be spontaneous, $\Delta G$

Thus, For minimum temperature:-

$\Delta H-T\times \Delta S=0$

$128.9-T\times 0.32131=0$

$T=\frac{128.9}{0.32131}=401.17\ K$

<u>Hence, 401.17 K is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous under standard state conditions.</u>

A sample of gas contains 0.1700 mol of NH3(g) and 0.2125 mol of O2(g) and occupies a volume of 17.8 L. The following reaction ta

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The volume of the sample after the reaction takes place is 19.78 L.

Explanation:

The given variables are;

Number of moles of NH₃(g) = 0.1700 mol

Number of moles of O₂(g) = 0.2125 mol

Volume occupied by the mixture = 17.8 L

The reaction

4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(g)

Then takes place

That is 4 moles of NH₃(g) reacts with 5 moles of O₂(g) to produce 4 moles of NO(g) and 6 moles of H₂O(g).

Since there are less number of moles of NH₃(g) (= 0.1700 mol) in the mixture, we factor the above equation by the number of moles of NH₃(g) present.

That is,

1 moles of NH₃(g) reacts with 5/4 moles of O₂(g) to produce 1 moles of NO(g) and 3/2 moles of H₂O(g).

Therefore,

0.1700 mol of NH₃(g) reacts with 5/4×0.1700 moles of O₂(g) to produce 0.1700 moles of NO(g) and 3/2×0.1700 moles of H₂O(g).

Which gives

0.1700 mol of NH₃(g) reacts with 0.2125 moles of O₂(g) to produce 0.1700 moles of NO(g) and 0.255 moles of H₂O(g).

Therefore, all of the NH₃(g) and O₂(g) are consumed in the reaction and the present gases in sample then becomes

0.1700 moles of NO(g) and 0.255 moles of H₂O(g).

Total number of moles of reactant = 0.17 + 0.2125 = 0.3825

Total number of moles of product formed = 0.17 + 0.255 = 0.425

However, Avogadro's law states that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal number of molecules.

That is volume occupied by 0.3825 moles of gas = 17.8 L

Therefore the volume occupied by 0.425 moles of gas = 17.8×0.425/0.3825 L = 19.78 L

Dalton incorporated the law of conversation of mass into his atomic theory by asserting that?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer;

A. atoms are indivisible.

Dalton incorporated the law of conversation of mass into his atomic theory by asserting that atoms are indivisible.

Explanation;

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

-According to Dalton; Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass and other properties. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created or destroyed.
