AlCl3 is lewis acid. Explain how?

Chemistry
1 answer:
professor190 [17]3 years ago
3 0

 For AlCl3  to be a Lewis acid, it would have to react in such a way that it accepted a lone pair from some other atom or molecule from a Lewis base.AlCl3  has an electron-deficient aluminum atom. It has only six electrons in its valence shell. It readily accepts electrons from other atoms, in an attempt to get a full valence shell of eight electrons.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Y=85\%

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the balanced chemical reaction, we are first able to realize there is a 1:3 mole ratio between zinc phosphate and zinc chloride; it means that we can first compute the moles of the desired product via stoichiometry:

n_{ZnCl_2}=20gZn_3(PO_4)_2*\frac{1molZn_3(PO_4)_2}{386.11gZn_3(PO_4)_2}*\frac{3molZnCl_2}{1molZn_3(PO_4)_2}=0.16gZnCl_2

Next, since those moles are associated with the theoretical yield of zinc chloride, we obtain the corresponding mass:

m_{ZnCl_2}^{theoretical}=0.16molZnCl_2*\frac{136.29gZnCl_2}{1molZnCl_2} =21gZnCl_2

Finally, we compute the percent yield by diving the actual yield (18 g) by the theoretical yield:

Y=\frac{18g}{21g}*100\%\\\\Y=85\%

Best regards!

Art [367]

Answer:

Solid

  • A solid is a state of matter where the particles are tightly packed together, they are very close together
  • They vibrate, they move very slowly

Liquid

  • A liquid has free-flowing particles, but they may not leave the container
  • They move at medium speed

Gas

  • <u><em>A gas moves very freely, they leave the container, and they may not be captured in its entirety</em></u>
  • <u><em>It moves very fast because it is heated</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Hope this helps :)
