The chalk particles embed themselves into the small pores on the surface.
Although a chalkboard seems smooth to the touch, it is quite rough at the microscopic level, with <em>pores</em> that reach below the surface.
When you drag chalk across the board, friction causes small particles of chalk to rub off onto the surface.
If you leave the markings for a long time, some of the chalk particles will work their way into the pores.
A brush will remove the surface particles, but <em>it will not be able to get at the particles in the pores</em>.
198 g of Glucose Is the answer.
Answer:
185.05 g.
Explanation
Firstly, It is considered as a stichiometry problem.
From the balanced equation: 2LiCl → 2Li + Cl₂
It is clear that the stichiometry shows that 2.0 moles of LiCl is decomposed to give 2.0 moles of Li metal and 1.0 moles of Cl₂, which means that the molar ratio of LiCl : Li is (1.0 : 1.0) ratio.
We must convert the grams of Li metal (30.3 g) to moles (n = mass/atomic mass), atomic mass of Li = 6.941 g/mole.
n = (30.3 g) / (6.941 g/mole) = 4.365 moles.
Now, we can get the number of moles of LiCl that is needed to produce 4.365 moles of Li metal.
Using cross multiplication:
2.0 moles of LiCl → 2.0 moles of Li, from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
??? moles of LiCl → 4.365 moles of Li.
The number of moles of LiCl that will produce 4.365 moles of Li (30.3 g) is (2.0 x 4.365 / 2.0) = 4.365 moles.
Finally, we should convert the number of moles of LiCl into grams (n = mass/molar mass).
Molar mass of LiCl = 42.394 g/mole.
mass = n x molar mass = (4.365 x 42.394) = 185.05 g.
