Answer:

394.76g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Phosphorus = 172.1g

Unknown:

Mass of P₂O₅ = ?

Solution:

We should work from the known specie to the unknown in this problem. The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply and it determines the extent of the reaction. This is the given phosphorus.

Oxygen is in the excess.

The balanced reaction equation:

            4P + 5O₂   →   2P₂O₅

let us find the number of moles of phosphorus first,

 Number of moles of phosphorus = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of phosphorus = 31g/mole

Number of moles = \frac{172.1}{31}  = 5.55mole

   4 moles of phosphorus gives 2 moles of P₂O₅

 5.55 mole of P will produce \frac{5.55 x 2}{4}   = 2.78moles

Mass of P₂O₅  = number of moles x molar mass

 Molar mass of P₂O₅  = (31 x 2)  +  (16 x 5)  = 142g/mole

Mass of P₂O₅  = 2.78moles x 142g/mole = 394.76g

Explain why aluminum does not react with potassium nitrate (KNO3) although it reacts with copper nitrate
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Potassium is more reactive than aluminium, so no reaction takes place. But aluminium is more reactive than copper, so it replaces the copper in copper nitrate

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

More reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

-> no reaction

However

Less reactive metal compound + more reactive metal

-> more reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

This is called substitution reaction where the more reactive metal replaces the less reactive metal in the compound.

Electrical energy is used to turn the blades of a fan. The amount of energy transformed is seen here: 750 J electrical energy is
Alchen [17]

B) It was transformed into 350 J of heat energy.

Explanation:

The remaining 350J of energy must have been transformed into 350J of heat energy.

A fan works by converting electrical energy into heat energy.

  • According to the third law of thermodynamics "no system is 100% efficient". The conversion of the energy from one form to another involves a lost in energy.
  • Heat is one very familiar way by which energy can be lost.
  • Some component energy is used to heat the fan in the process and it is a wasted energy.
  • Friction surfaces a heat energy in this process.
