AlCl3 is lewis acid. Explain how?

1 answer:

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.

When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water are produced.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mass of CaCl₂ = 20 g

CaCO is presewnt in excess.

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 7.007 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium carbonate = 25 g

Mass of hydrochloric acid = 13.0 g

Mass of calcium chloride produced = ?

Chemical equation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Number of moles of CaCO₃:

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of CaCO₃= 25.0 g / 100.1 g/mol

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = 0.25 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles of HCl = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of HCl = 13.0 g / 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles of HCl = 0.36 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CaCl₂ with HCl and CaCO₃ .

CaCO₃ : CaCl₂

1 : 1

0.25 : 0.25

HCl : CaCl₂

2 : 1

0.36 : 1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

The number of moles of CaCl₂ produced by HCl are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCl₂ =0.18 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂ = 20 g

The calcium carbonate is present in excess.

HCl : CaCO₃

2 : 1

0.36 : 1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

So, 0.18 moles react with 0.36 moles of HCl.

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.25 -0.18

The moles of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = Moles × molar mass

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 0.07 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of of CaCO₃ remain unreacted = 7.007 g

REY [17]

hey mate here is ur answer

solution

mass{m}=3 gram

=3/1000

volume{v}=16cm

=16/100

density=m/v

=3/1000÷16/100

=3/160

=0.01875kg/m3

lesya [120]

Answer: The products of the saponification of glyceryl tripalmitate (tripalmitin) are one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which triglycerides react with sodium hydroxide and leads to the formation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of a salt of fatty acid is known as saponification.

For example, when tripalmitin reacts with sodium hydroxide then it leads to the formation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.

The reaction equation is as follows.

$C_{51}H_{98}O_{6} + NaOH \rightarrow C_{3}H_{8}O_{3} + 3C_{16}H_{31}O_{2}Na^{+}$

Thus, we can conclude that the products of the saponification of glyceryl tripalmitate (tripalmitin) are one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.
