The chemical reaction that occurs between Al_2O_3, NaOH and HF to form cryolite (molecular formula: Na_3AlF_6) is:

Al_2O_3+NaOH+HF\rightarrow Na_3AlF_6+H_2O

The balanced reaction is:

Al_2O_3+6NaOH+12HF\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O

In order to determine the weight of cryolite produced, the limiting reactant (the reactant that is completely used up in the reaction) should be identified first. To determine the limiting reactant, the number of moles of each reactant with respect to cryolite (2Na_3AlF_6) should be calculated.

The formula for determining the number of moles is:

number of mole = \frac{given mass}{molar mass}

1. For Al_2O_3:

According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of Al_2O_3 reacts to give 2 moles of Na_3AlF_6.

Molar mass of Al_2O_3 = 101.96 g/mol

So, \frac{13.6 \times 10^{3} g Al_2O_3}{101.96 g/mol}\times 2 moles of Na_3AlF_6

Number of moles = 2.668\times 10^{2} mole  Na_3AlF_6

2. For NaOH :

According to the balanced equation, 6 mole of NaOH reacts to give 2 moles of Na_3AlF_6.

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

So, \frac{51.4 \times 10^{3} g NaOH}{39.997 g/mol}\times \frac{2 moles of Na_3AlF_6}{6 moles of NaOH}

The number of moles = 4.279\times 10^{2} mole  Na_3AlF_6

3. For HF :

According to the balanced equation, 12 moles of HF reacts to give 2 moles of Na_3AlF_6.

Molar mass of HF = 12.01 g/mol

So, \frac{51.4 \times 10^{3} g HF}{20.01 g/mol}\times \frac{2 moles of Na_3AlF_6}{12 moles of HF}

Number of moles = 4.282\times 10^{2} mole Na_3AlF_6.

Thus, Al_2O_3 is the limiting reactant.

Molar mass of Na_3AlF_6 = 209.94 g/mol

Amount of Na_3AlF_6 produced = 2.668\times 10^{2} mole\times 209.94 g/mol = 5.6012\times 10^{4} g

Since, 1 kg = 1000 g

5.6012\times 10^{4} g = 56.012 kg

Hence, the amount of cryolite produced is 56.012 kg.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The order of reactivity of metals is as follows, Potassium > Sodium > Lithium > Calcium > Magnesium > Aluminium > Zinc > Iron > Copper > Silver > Gold.

Explanation:

The reactivity of elements (metals) towards water decreases towards the right in a period. It also increases down the group. But zinc is more reactive towards water than iron. Hence the correct order is:

Iron<Zinc<Magnesium<Sodium

What is the difference in atomic structure between Lead-205 and Lead-208?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

  the number of neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

The mass number 205 is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Lead has 82 protons, so a mass number of 205 indicates a nucleus with 123 neutrons.

Similarly, the mass number 208 indicates a lead nucleus with 126 neutrons.

The difference in atomic structure is the difference in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
