Biology is the study of life
Answer:
1. Which people are in the control group? The people who received the mint without the secret ingredient
(Group B) would be the control group.
2. What is the independent variable? Secret ingredient in the breath mint
3. What is the dependent variable? Amount of breath odor (or bad breath)
4. What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be? The breath mint with the secret ingredient appears to reduce the
amount of breath odor more than half the time, but it is not 100% effective.
5. Why do you think 10 people in group B reported fresher breath? This may be due to the placebo effect.
The answer to this item depends entirely to the chemical reaction. If the compound, NH4Cl, is in the left hand side of the reaction, when it is added, the reaction will shift to the left. In the same manner, when the compound is in the right-hand side of the reaction, the reaction will shift to the right.
This happens because initially the reaction is in equilibrium and adding another compound to it will most likely lead to the shifting of the reaction.
Answer:
The balanced chemical equation: 2 Al + 3Cl2→ 2 AlCl3
Mole-mole relationship: 2 moles Al + 3 moles Cl2→ 2 moles AlCl3
Given: 0.600 moleCl2; 0.500 mole Al
Required: Excess reactant___; Number of moles of AlCl3 produced__
Solution: Use dimensional analysis using the mole-mole rel
0.600 mole Cl2 * 2 moles Al/3 moles Cl2 = 0.4 mole Al
0.5 mole Al* 3 moles Cl2/2 moles Al = 0.75 mole Cl2
Based on the given:
0.6mole Cl2 + 0.4 mole Al ( this is possible based on the given)
0.5mole Al + 0.75 mole Cl2 (this is not possible because the given is only 0.600 mole of Cl 2)
Answer: Excess reactant is Al; Limiting reactant is Cl2
The amount of AlCl3 produced = 0.6 mole Cl2 + 0.4 mole Al = 1.0 mole AlCl3
