Answer:

3 mol Cl₂/2 mol AlCl₃ (three over two)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the balanced equation"

2Al + 3Cl₂⟶ 2AlCl₃

The steps in the calculation are

mass of AlCl₃ ⟶ moles of AlCl₃⟶ moles of Cl₂ ⟶ mass of Cl₂

The critical step is the <em>conversion of moles</em>.

You multiply the moles of AlCl₃ by a <em>conversion factor</em> to get moles of Al:

Moles of AlCl₃ × conversion factor = moles of Al.

The conversion factor is <em>the molar ratio</em>, and it uses the coefficients of the formulas in the balanced equation.

It is either (2 mol AlCl₃/3 mol Cl₂) or (3 mol Cl₂/2 mol AlCl₃).

You choose the one that has the desired units of the answer in the numerator.

We choose the second option, because it has the correct units.

For example,

\text{0.2 mol AlCl}_{3} \times \frac{3\textbf{ mol Cl}_{2} }{ 2\text{ mol AlCl}_{3} } = 0.3\textbf{ mol Cl}_{2})

Notice how the units "mol AlCl₃" cancel and the correct units appear in the answer.

If we had used the other conversion factor, we would have gotten the wrong units.

1) Which term describes the conversion of substances into different substances?(1 point)
lara [203]

A chemical reaction occurs when substances change. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce food.

1) A chemical reaction is a process by which substances can be changed into other substances. Hence, in a chemical reaction, new substances are formed.

2) Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce food using carbon dioxide and water in the process of sunlight and chlorophyll. Glucose is produced during photosynthesis and the energy produced and stored as starch.

3) Valence electrons show the kind of bond that an atom can form. Reaction between two atoms that have many valence electrons is most likely covalent. An ionic bond is formed between an atom that has few valence electrons and an atom that has many valence electrons.

4) A carbohydrate is a compound that comprises of hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 2:1. The compound that is a carbohydrate is C3H6O3.

5) Rocks contain iron. Iron oxides form when cyanobacteria produce oxygen via photosynthesis.

When you break an iron magnet into two pieces, you get ____.
Rudiy27

Answer:

two north poles and two south poles

Explanation:

A single magnet has a north pole and a south pole. If it is broken into two pieces, then each of the two pieces will have a north pole and a south pole.

No matter how many times or into how many pieces a magnet is broken, the resulting pieces will have two poles each.
