Answer:

Copper (II) chloride.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the described reaction which is also given as:

2Al + 3CuCl_2 \rightarrow 2AlCl_3 + 3Cu

For us to identify the limiting reactant we first compute the available moles of aluminium:

n_{Al}=512gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}=19.0molAl

Next, we compute the consumed moles of aluminium by the 1147 grams of copper (II) chloride by using their 2:3 molar ratio:

n_{Al}^{consumed}=1147gCuCl_2*\frac{1molCuCl_2}{134.45gCuCl_2}*\frac{2molAl}{3molCuCl_2}  =5.69molAl

Thereby, we can infer aluminium is in excess since less moles are consumed than available whereas the copper (II) chloride is the limiting reactant.

Best regards.

Elias could be standing on the transform boundary.

Answer: Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past one another. At change limits lithosphere is neither made nor devastated. Many change limits are found on the ocean bottom, where they associate fragments of veering mid-sea edges. California's San Andreas issue is a transform boundary.

Transform boundaries are regions where the Earth's plates move past one another, scouring along the edges. Every one of these three sorts of plate limit has its own specific kind of flaw (or break) along which movement happens. Transforms are strike-slip issues. There is no vertical movement—just horizontal.

A 1.20-L container contains 1.10 g of an unknown gas at STP. What is the molecular weight of the unknown gas?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

M = 20.5 g/mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 1.20 L

Mass of gas = 1.10 g

Temperature and pressure = standard

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the density.

Formula:

d = mass/ volume

d = 1.10 g/ 1.20 L

d = 0.92 g/L

Now we will calculate the molar  mass.

d = PM/RT

0.92 g/L = 1 atm × M / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×273.15 K

M =  0.92 g/L × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×273.15 K /  1 atm

M = 20.5 g/mol

It says it will never change. So whatever it was before the change, it will be the same after the change. So, 200 should be correct.
