Answer:

229 g Al₂O₃; 243 g Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

Step 1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

M_r: 26.98 159.69 101.96

2Al + Fe₂O₃ ⟶ Al₂O₃ + 2Fe

Mass/g: 121 601

===============

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

Moles of Al = 121 × 1/26.98

Moles of Al = 4.485 mol Al

Moles of Fe₂O₃ = 601× 1/159.69

Moles of Fe₂O₃ = 3.764 mol Fe₂O₃

===============

Step 3. Identify the limiting reactant

Calculate the moles of Al₂O₃ we can obtain from each reactant.

From Al

The molar ratio is 1 mol Al₂O₃:2 mol Al

Moles of Al₂O₃ = 4.485 × 1/2

Moles of Al₂O₃ = 2.242 mol Al₂O₃

From Fe₂O₃:

The molar ratio is 1 mol Al₂O₃:1 mol Fe₂O₃

Moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.764 × 1/1

Moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.764 mol Al₂O₃

The limiting reactant is Al because it gives the smaller amount of Al₂O₃.

The excess reactant is Fe₂O₃.

===============

Step 4. Calculate the mass of Al₂O₃ formed

Mass of Al₂O₃ = 2.242 × 101.96

Mass of Al₂O₃ = 229 g Al₂O₃

===============

Step 5. Calculate the moles of Fe₂O₃ reacted

The molar ratio is 1 mol Fe₂O₃:2 mol Al:

Moles of Fe₂O₃ = 4.485 × ½

Moles of Fe₂O₃ = 2.242 mol Fe₂O₃

===============

Step 6. Calculate the moles of Fe₂O₃ remaining

Moles remaining = original moles – moles used

Moles remaining = 3.764 – 2.242

Moles remaining = 1.521 mol Fe₂O₃

==============

Step 7. Calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ remaining

Mass of Fe₂O₃ = 1.521 × 159.69/1

Mass of Fe₂O₃ = 243 g Fe₂O₃

if a sample of ideal gas takes up 5.00 L at 300 K and 1.5 atm, what volume will it Take up at 400 K and 1.5 atm?

zysi [14]

Answer:

The volume will be 6, 67 L

Explanation:

We use the gas formula, which results from the combination of the Boyle, Charles and Gay-Lussac laws. According to which at a constant mass, temperature, pressure and volume vary, keeping constant PV / T:

P1xV1/T1 = P2 x V2/T2

V2= ((P1xV1/T1)xT2)/P2

V2=((1,5 atm x5 L/300K)x400K)/1,5 atm

V2=6, 67 L

PLEASE HURRY WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

12 Neutrons

1 Valence Electron

23 ions [11 Protons and 12 Neutrons]

22 ions [11 Electrons and Protons]

Explanation:

To find the number of neutrons in an element, you simply take its atomic number and deduct that from the atomic mass [round if necessary]. There is one valence electron because according to the Periodic Table of Elements, the first three energy levels can fit 2 - 8 electrons:

1st Energy Level → 2 Electrons

2nd Energy Level → 8 Electrons

3rd Energy Level → 8 Electrons

4th Energy Level → 18 Electrons

5th Energy Level → 18 Electrons

6th Energy Level [Lanthanide Series] → 32 Electrons

7th Energy Level [Actinide Series] → 32 Electrons

So, as you can see, 2 + 8 gives you 10. So from there, we already filled up 2 energy levels. Now going to the third one will leave us with only one electron left over. That is where that valence electron is.

** I encourage you to write this down in your Chemistry notebook somewhere, so you can keep this stored in your memory at all times. There are some pointers in the answer as well. Copy that.

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (O2) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H2O). If 28

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

68.1% is percent yield of the reaction

Explanation:

The reaction of methane with oxygen is:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Where 2 moles of oxygen react per mole of CH₄

Percent yield is:

Actual yield (28.2g CO₂) / Theoretical yield * 100

To solve this question we need to find theoretical yield finding limiting reactant :

Moles CH₄:

15.1g CH₄ * (1mol / 16.04g) = 0.9414 moles

Moles O₂:

81.2g * (1mol / 32g) = 2.54 moles

For a complete reaction of 0.9414 moles of CH₄ are needed:

0.9414 moles CH₄ * (2 mol O₂ / 1mol CH₄) = 1.88 moles of O₂. As there are 2.54 moles, O₂ is in excess and CH₄ is limiting reactant

In theoretical yield, the moles of methane added = Moles of CO₂ produced. That is 0.9414 moles CO₂. In grams = Theoretical yield:

0.9414 moles CO₂ * (44.01g / mol) = 41.43g CO₂

Percent yield: 28.2g CO₂ / 41.43g CO₂ * 100=

<h3>68.1% is percent yield of the reaction</h3>

What amount of oxygen gas in moles contains 1.8x10^22 molecules?

exis [7]

Answer:

<h2>0.03 moles </h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

We have

$n = \frac{1.8 \times {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\ = 0.02990...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.03 moles </h3>

Hope this helps you
