Answer:

155.9 grams of aluminium oxide can be formed

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 82.49 grams

Molar mass of aluminium = 26.98 g/mol

Mass of oxygen = 117.65 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32.0 g/mol

Molar mass of aluminium oxide = 101.96 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles aluminium = 82.49 grams / 26.98 g/mol

Moles aluminium = 3.057 moles

Moles oxygen = 117.65 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 3.677 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

For 4 moles Al we need 3 moles O2 to produce 2 moles Al2O3

Aluminium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (3.057 moles). Oxygen is in excess. There will react 3/4 * 3.057 = 2.293 moles

There will remain 3.677 - 2.293 = 1.384 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles aluminium oxide

For 4 moles Al we need 3 moles O2 to produce 2 moles Al2O3

For 3.057 moles Al we'll have 3.057/2 = 1.529 moles

Step 6: Calculate mass aluminium oxide

Mass aluminium oxide = 1.529 moles * 101.96 g/mol

Mass aluminium oxide = 155.9 grams

155.9 grams of aluminium oxide can be formed

Answer:

155.4 g of Al₂O₃

Explanation:

The reaction is:

4Al(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Al₂O₃(s)

To determine the mass of aluminum oxide that is formed we need to know the limiting reagent. Let's calculate the moles of each by the molar mass

Mass / molar mass = Moles

82.49 g / 26.98 g/mol = 3.05 moles of Al

117.65 g / 32 g/mol = 3.67 moles of oxygen

Let's try the oxygen. Ratio is 3:4.

3 moles of O₂ need 4 moles of Al to react

Therefore 3.67 moles of O₂ will react with (3.67 . 4 )/3 = 4.90 moles

We only have 3.05 moles of Al, so the Al is the limiting reactant

Now, we work with stoichiometry

4 moles of Al can produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃

3.05 moles of Al will produce (3.05 .2) / 4 =  1.52 moles of Al₂O₃

We convert the moles to mass: 1.52 mol . 101.96 g / 1mol = 155.4 g

What volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be produced if 2.90 moles of it on (Fe) is produced?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

= 97.44 Liters at S.T.P

Explanation:

The reaction between Iron (iii) oxide and Carbon monoxide is given by the equation;

Fe2O3(s)+ 3CO(g) → 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(s)

From the reaction when the reactants react, 2 moles of Fe and 3 moles of CO2 are produced.

Therefore; Mole ratio of Iron : Carbon dioxide is 2:3

Thus; Moles of Carbon dioxide = (2.9/2)×3

                                                   = 4.35 moles

But; 1 mole of CO2 at s.t.p occupies 22.4 liters

Therefore;

Mass of CO2 = 22.4 × 4.35 Moles

                     = 97.44 L

The concentration of ozone in a sample of air that has a partial pressure of O3 of 0.33 torr and a total pressure of air of 695
Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.047 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Partial pressure of ozone (pO₃): 0.33 torr
  • Total pressure of air (P): 695 torr

Step 2: Calculate the %v/v of ozone in the air

Air is a mixture of gases. We can find the %v/v of ozone (a component) in the air (mixture) using the following expression.

<em>%v/v = pO₃/P × 100%</em>

%v/v = 0.33 torr/695 torr × 100%

%v/v = 0.047 %

How is a molecule of hydrogen formed from two hydrogen atoms?
Shtirlitz [24]
A molecule of hydrogen is formed by two hydrogen atoms, that is a fact.

How does it work? When two atoms, known as "diatomic" pair with another in a bond known non-polar covalent bonds. Where they equally share electrons. A Hydrogen atoms needs 1 more electrons to fill its first shell fully and have a full valence shell. So if two H's share their electrons, they'll both have a full V-Shell!

That's the basics of both the H-H bond and all the other diatomic bonds as well.

Which substance used during photosynthesis does a plant take in from the soil?
Simora [160]

Answer:

the answer is water

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
