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.

"A crosslinked copolymer consists of 57 wt% ethylene (C2H4) repeat units and 43 wt% propylene (C3H6) repeat units. Determine the
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = \frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol

Moles of propylene = \frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol

1 mole = N_A =6.022\times 10^{23} molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = 2.036 mol\times N_A

Units of propylene = 1.024 mol\times N_A

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}

An 8 N force is applied to a 2 kg object. What is the magnitude of the object's acceleration? A. 0.25 m/s² B. 4 m/s² C. 6 m/s² D
mel-nik [20]

Answer: 4m/s2 (B)

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

Force given is 8N

Mass=2kg

Acceleration =?

Substitute into the formula

F=ma

8=2a

A=8/2

A=4m/s2

Acceleration used is 4m/s2 (B)
