A) because spontaneous means in an instant
Answer:
17.76g
Explanation:
We need to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction:
2Al(OH)3 + 3Ca(NO3)2 ——> 3Ca(OH)2 + 2Al(NO3)3
In the reaction above, it can be seen that 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide yielded 3 moles of calcium hydroxide. This is the theoretical viewpoint.
Now we need to know what actually happened. We need to calculate the actual number of moles of aluminum hydroxide reacted l. We can get this by dividing the mass by the molar mass.
The molar mass of aluminum hydroxide is 27+ 3( 16+1)
= 27 + 51 = 78g/mol
The number of moles is thus: 12.55/78 = 0.16 moles
Now if 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide gave 3 moles of calcium hydroxide, 0.16moles will give : (0.16*3)/2 = 0.24moles
Now we can calculate the mass of calcium hydroxide formed. The mass of calcium hydroxide formed is the number of moles multiplied by the molar mass.
The molar mass of calcium hydroxide is; 40 + 2(17) = 74g/mol
The mass is thus =74 * 0.24 = 17.76g
<span>Neutrons to protons.
Neutrons and protons are tiny particles that are within the nucleus. Neutrons and protons make up the nucleus of the cell and the ratio of neutrons determine the stability of the atomic nuclei. The nucleus will become unstable if the ratio of neutrons to protons are not within the appropriate amount.</span>
