Answer:

In the chemical bonds.

Explanation:

There are different types of chemical bonds, some store a TON of energy while others do not store as much. You can think of it like this: for bonds with low energy, it takes a LOT of force to pull them apart, meaning they are strong bonds. However, this way, you have to put energy into them to break the bonds and form a chemical reaction. This is an endothermic reaction, a reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings.

Instead, bonds in exothermic reactions are BEGGING to form a more stable bond, and hence store a lot of potential energy. Due to the difficulty of maintaining these bonds, there is a lot of energy put into them. If you break them, however, (exothermic reaction) the energy is released, and hence the exothermic reaction happens.

Calculate the molarity of a solution containing 2.66 moles of KOH in 750 mL of solution?

ASHA 777 [7]

Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.

There are 2.66 moles of KOH, the solute, and the volume of the solution is 0.750 L.

The molarity of this solution would thus be (2.66 moles KOH)/(0.750 L) = 3.55 M KOH.

Answer:

1 - e, 2 - k, 3 - a, 4 - i, 5 - b,

Explanation:

The ratio of the amount of analyte in the stationary phase to the amount in the mobile phase. --- Retention factor.

Time it takes after sample injection into the column for the analyte peak to appear as it exits the column. -- Retention time

The process of extracting a component that is adsorbed to a given material by use of an appropriate solvent system. -- Elution

Measure of chromatographic column efficiency. The greater its value, the more efficient the column. -- Theoretical plate number

Gas, liquid, or supercritical fluid used to transport the sample in chromatographic separations. -- Mobile phase

Immiscible and immobile, it is packed within a column or coated on a solid surface. -- Stationary phase

Answer:

d. 12.3 grams of Al2O3

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of this chemical reaction is as follows:

4Al + 3O2 --> 2Al2O3

Based on the balanced equation, 4 moles of aluminum (limiting reagent) reacts to form 2 moles of aluminum oxide (Al2O3).

First, we need to convert the mass of aluminum to moles using the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Al = 27g/mol

mole = 6.50/27

= 0.241mol of Al.

Hence, if 4 moles of aluminum (limiting reagent) reacts to form 2 moles of aluminum oxide (Al2O3).

Then, 0.241mol of Al will produce (0.241 × 2/4) = 0.241/2 = 0.121mol of Al2O3.

Convert this mole value to molar mass using mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of Al2O3 = 27(2) + 16(3)

= 54 + 48

= 102g/mol

mass = molar mass × mole

mass = 102 × 0.121

mass of Al2O3 = 12.34grams.
