Answer:
2.645
Explanation:
Rate of diffusion formula:
Sqrt(mass2/mass1)
>>sqrt(14/2)
(Note:Hydrogen must exist in dwiatomic, [H2])
Answer:
H₂O is the limiting reactant
Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂
Explanation:
Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.
6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O
We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al. But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O. Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.
Now find the theoretical yield:
7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃
7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂
Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.
Elements that form diatomic molecules, or molecules of two atoms each, are commonly found on the right side of the periodic table.
