Answer: 66.2 g
Explanation:
1) The ratio of Al in the molecule is 1 mol to 1 mol .
2) The mass of 1 mol of molecules of Al (CH2H3O2)3 is the molar mass of the compound.
3) You calculate the molar mass of the compound using the atomic masses of each atom, in this way:
Al: 27 g/mol
C: 2 * 3 * 12 g/mol = 72 g/mol
H: 3 * 3 * 1 g/mol = 9 g/mol
O: 2 * 3 * 16 g/mol = 96 g/mol
Molar mass = 27 g/mol + 72 g/mol + 9 g/mol + 96 g/mol = 204 g/mol
4) Set a proportion:
27 g/mol x
-------------------- = ----------
204 g/mol 500 g
5) Solve for x:
x = 500 g * 27 g/mol / 204 g/mol = 66.2 g
The metal component of the given compound, CrCl3, is chromium. The number of moles per 1 g of chromium is calculated through the equation below,
n = (1 g Cr)(1 mol Cr/51.996 g Cr)
n = 0.0192 mol Cr(3 electrons/1 mol Cr)
n = 0.0577 e-
Determine the number in charge by multiplying with Faraday's constant,
C = (0.0577 mol Cr)((1 F/1 mol e-)(96485 C/ 1F)
C = 5,566.87 C
Then, calculate time by dividing the charge with the current,
t = 5566.87 C/1.5 A
t = 3711.25 minutes
t = 61.84 hours
