dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The mass of cryolite produced is 51.48 kg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For aluminium oxide:

Given mass of aluminium oxide = 12.5 kg = 12500 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

Molar mass of aluminium oxide = 101.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium oxide}=\frac{12500g}{101.96g/mol}=122.6mol$

For NaOH:

Given mass of NaOH = 55.4 kg = 55400 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{55400g}{40g/mol}=1389mol$

For HF:

Given mass of HF = 55.4 kg = 55400 g

Molar mass of HF = 20 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of HF}=\frac{55400g}{20g/mol}=2770mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Al_2O_3(s)+6NaOH(l)+12HF(g)\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide reacts with 6 moles of sodium hydroxide and 12 moles of HF.

So, 122.6 moles of aluminium oxide will react with $(6\times 122.6)=735.6mol$ of sodium hydroxide and $(12\times 122.6)=1471.2mol$ of HF

As, given amount of NaOH and HF is more than the required amount. So, they are considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium oxide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide produces 2 moles of cryolite

So, 122.6 moles of aluminium oxide will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 122.6=245.2mol$ of cryolite

Now, calculating the mass of cryolite by using equation 1:

Molar mass of cryolite = 209.94 g/mol

Moles of cryolite = 245.2 mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$245.2mol=\frac{\text{Mass of cryolite}}{209.94g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of cryolite}=(245.2mol\times 209.94g/mol)=51477.3g$

Converting this into kilograms, we use the conversion factor:

1 kg = 1000 g

So, $51477.3 g\times (\frac{1kg}{1000g})=51.48kg$

Hence, the mass of cryolite produced is 51.48 kg

You have 0.5 L of air at 203 k in an expandable container at constant pressure. You heat the container to 273 k. What is the vol

Jobisdone [24]

You can use P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 but since pressure is constant is becomes V1/T1=V2/T2

V1=0.5 L
T1=203 K
T2=273 K
V2=unknown

0.5L/203 = V2/273
V2= 0.67 L so C

Hope this helps :)

2. Which of the following is true about the total number of reactants and the total number of

Soloha48 [4]

9 moles of reactants chemically change into 11 moles of product.

Explanation:

In the reaction above, 9 moles of reactants chemically change into 11 mole of products. The coefficients in a reaction is the number of moles of the reacting atoms .

For example 8O₂ depicts 8 moles of two oxygen atoms.
The number of moles is a unit for quantifying particles.
You can liken it to a dozen, gross or a score.
Since a mole of a substance contains avogadro number of particles. We can relate the number of moles to other parameters.
