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.

How much heat must be removed from 25.0g of steam at 118.0C in order to form ice at 15C
NemiM [27]

Answer:

-10778.95 J heat must be removed in order to form the ice at 15 °C.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of steam = 25 g

Initial temperature = 118 °C

Final temperature = 15 °C

Heat released = ?

Solution:

Formula:

q = m . c . ΔT

we know that specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g.°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 15 °C - 118 °C

ΔT = -103 °C

now we will put the values in formula

q = m . c . ΔT

q = 25 g × 4.186 J/g.°C × -103 °C

q = -10778.95 J

so, -10778.95 J heat must be removed in order to form the ice at 15 °C.

The proposed mechanism for a reaction is: Step 1: A + B X (fast) Step 2: X + C Y (slow) Step 3: Y D (fast) What is the overall r
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(slow)xy2+z→xy2z (fast) c step1:step2:xy2+z2→xy2z2

Explanation:

Step1: xy2+z2→xy2z2 (slow)

Step2: xy2z2→xy2z+z (fast)

2XY 2 + Z 2 → 2XY 2 Z

Rate= k[xy2][z2]

 

When the two elementary steps are summed up, the result is equivalent to the stoichiometric equation. Hence, this mechanism is acceptable. The order of both elementary steps is 2, which is ‘≤3’; this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Furthermore, the rate equation aligns with the experimentally determined rate equation, and this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Therefore, since all the three rules have been observed, this mechanism is possible.
