Answer:

3) About 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas.

4) About 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide.

Explanation:

Question 3)

We are given that 7.9 grams of sodium is dropped into a bathtub of water, and we want to determine how many grams of hydrogen gas is released.

Since sodium is higher than hydrogen on the activity series, sodium will replace hydrogen in a single-replacement reaction for sodium oxide. Hence, our equation is:

\displaystyle \text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}

To balance it, we can simply add another sodium atom on the left. Hence:

\displaystyle 2\text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}

To convert from grams of sodium to grams of hydrogen gas, we can convert from sodium to moles of sodium, use the mole ratios to find moles in hydrogen gas, and then use hydrogen's molar mass to find its amount in grams.

The molar mass of sodium is 22.990 g/mol. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}

From the chemical equation, we can see that two moles of sodium produce one mole of hydrogen gas. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}

And the molar mass of hydrogen gas is 2.016 g/mol. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}

Given the initial value and the above ratios, this yields:

\displaystyle 7.9\text{ g Na}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}

Cancel like units:

=\displaystyle 7.9\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{22.990}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1}

Multiply. Hence:

=0.3463...\text{ g H$_2$}

Since we should have two significant values:

=0.35\text{ g H$_2$}

So, about 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas will be released.

Question 4)

Excess oxygen gas is added to 34.5 grams of aluminum and produces aluminum oxide. Hence, our chemical equation is:

\displaystyle \text{O$_2$} + \text{Al} \rightarrow \text{Al$_2$O$_3$}

To balance this, we can place a three in front of the oxygen, four in front of aluminum, and two in front of aluminum oxide. Hence:

\displaystyle3\text{O$_2$} + 4\text{Al} \rightarrow 2\text{Al$_2$O$_3$}

To convert from grams of aluminum to grams of aluminum oxide, we can convert aluminum to moles, use the mole ratios to find the moles of aluminum oxide, and then use its molar mass to determine the amount of grams.

The molar mass of aluminum is 26.982 g/mol. Thus:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}

According to the equation, four moles of aluminum produces two moles of aluminum oxide. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}

And the molar mass of aluminum oxide is 101.961 g/mol. Hence: \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}

Using the given value and the above ratios, we acquire:

\displaystyle 34.5\text{ g Al}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}

Cancel like units:

\displaystyle= \displaystyle 34.5\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{26.982}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2}{4}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1}

Multiply:

\displaystyle = 65.1852... \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}

Since the resulting value should have three significant figures:

\displaystyle = 65.2 \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}

So, approximately 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide is produced.

The molar mass of sodium is 22.990 g/mol. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}

22.990 g Na

From the chemical equation, we can see that two moles of sodium produce one mole of hydrogen gas. Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}

2 mol Na

So, about 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas will be released.

To convert from grams of aluminum to grams of aluminum oxide, we can convert aluminum to moles, use the mole ratios to find the moles of aluminum oxide, and then use its molar mass to determine the amount of grams.

If the velocity of a wave is 12 m/s and its frequency is 600 hertz, what would be its wavelength?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<em>»</em><em> </em><em>λ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>2</em><em>m</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of the wave {v}= 12 m/s

Frequency {f} = 600 Hz

Apply Wavelength formula :

• λ =  \frac{v}{f}

→ λ = \frac{12}{600}

→ λ = \frac{1}{50}

→ λ = 0.02m

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object's velocity can be described by it's direction. Because velocity is a vector. Besides velocity and acceleration are different units they can't be described by each other.

Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol required to prepare 540 grams of C4H6, if the reaction follows the scheme:
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

2C₂H₅OH    =   C₄H₆  +  2H₂O  +  H₂

2 mole               1 mole

molecular weight of ethyl alcohol

mol weight of C₂H₅OH = 46 gm            

mol weight of C₄H₆  54 gm

540 gm of C₄H₆ = 10 mole

10 mole of C₄H₆ will require 20 mol of ethyl alcohol .

20 mole of ethyl alcohol = 20  x 46

= 920 gm

ethyl alcohol required = 920 gm .
