Consider the reaction of solid aluminum iodide and potassium metal to form solid potassium iodide and aluminum metal.The balance

d chemical equation is AlI₃(s) + 3 K(s) → 3 KI(s) + Al(s).Given the reaction has a percent yield of 67.8%, what is the mass in grams of aluminum iodide that would be required to yield an actual amount of 30.25 grams of aluminum?

Answer:

674.26 g of AlI₃

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the theoretical yield of aluminum (Al). This can be obtained as follow:

Percentage yield of Al = 67.8%

Actual yield of Al = 30.25 g

Theoretical yield of Al =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100/

67.8% = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

67.8 / 100 = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

0.678 = 30.25 / Theoretical yield

Cross multiply

0.678 × Theoretical yield = 30.25

Divide both side by 0.678

Theoretical yield = 30.25 / 0.678

Theoretical yield of Al = 44.62 g

Next, we shall determine the mass of AlI₃ that reacted and the mass of Al produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

AlI₃(s) + 3K(s) → 3KI(s) + Al(s)

Molar mass of AlI₃ = 27 + (3×127)

= 27 + 381 = 408 g/mol

Mass of AlI₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 408 = 408 g

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 1 × 27 = 27 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

408 g of AlI₃ reacted to produce 27 g of Al.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of

AlI₃ required to produce 44.62 g of Al. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

408 g of AlI₃ reacted to produce 27 g of Al.

Therefore, Xg of AlI₃ will react to produce 44.62 g of Al i.e

Xg of AlI₃ = (408 × 44.62)/27

Xg of AlI₃ = 674.26 g

Thus, 674.26 g of AlI₃ is needed for the reaction.

A sample of chlorine gas is held at a pressure of 1023.6 kPa. When the pressure is decreased to 8114 kPa the
eduard

Answer:

T₁  = 39 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 1023.6 kpa

Final pressure = 8114 kpa

Final temperature = 36°C (36+ 273= 309K)

Initial temperature = ?

Solution:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

T₁  = P₁×T₂ /P₂

T₁  = 1023.6 kpa × 309 K /8114 kpa

T₁  = 316292.4 K. Kpa /8114 kpa

T₁  = 39 K

Thus original pressure was 39 k.

What happens when gasoline is used to power a vehicle?
Romashka [77]
The answer should be A. Because the energy in gasoline is called chemical. When burned it is heat, Then to power a vehicle, it is mechanical energy. But I don't know whether the question wants to mean that the energy in the gasoline will not convert totally to the heat, so it will lose. But if think like this, when heat energy transform to mechanical, it will lose again. So I think the answer is A.
