What mass of aluminum is needed to produce 0.500 mole of aluminum chloride?

3241004551 [841]

Answer: " 13.5 g Al " ;

→ that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

Explanation:

____________________________

Note: What is missing from the question is the "balanced chemical equation" for the "chemical reaction" that contains:

The reactants: "aluminum (Al) " ; and "chlorine (Cl) " ; and:

The product: "aluminum choloride (AlCl₃) " .

____________________________

The "balanced chemical equation" is:

____________________________

2 Al + 3 Cl₂ → 2 AlCl₃ ;

_____________________________

Note: The molecular weight of "aluminum (Al)" is: " 26.98 g /mol " .

____________________________

So: We call solve using a technique known as: "dimensional analysis" :

____________________________

0.500 mol AlCl₃ * $(\frac{2mol Al}{2mol AlCl_{3} }) * (\frac{26.98g Al}{1 mol Al}) = ?$

____________________________

Note: The units of "mol AlCl₃" cancel out to "1' ; and:

The units of "mol Al" cancel out to "1" ; and we are left with:

____________________________

" $\frac{(0.500 * 2 * 26.98)}{2}$ g Al ["grams of aluminum"] ;

____________________________

Note: We can "cancel out the "2's" ; since "2/2 = 1 " ; and we have:

→ (0.500 * 26.98) g Al ;

= 13.49 g Al ;

→ Round to 3 (Three) significant figures;

→ Since: "0.500" has 3 (Three) significant figures:

____________________________

= 13.5 g Al ; that is: "13.5 grams of aluminum."

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?

Kipish [7]

The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.
