What mass of aluminum is needed to produce 0.500 mole of aluminum chloride?

Chemistry
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:  " 13.5 g Al " ;

                    →  that is:  "13.5 grams of aluminum."

<u>____________________________</u>

Explanation:

<u>____________________________</u>

<u>Note</u>: What is missing from the question is the "balanced chemical equation" for the "chemical reaction" that contains:

 The reactants:  "aluminum (Al) " ;  and "chlorine (Cl) " ;  and:

 The product:    "aluminum choloride (AlCl₃) " .

____________________________

The "balanced chemical equation" is:

____________________________

        2 Al   +   3 Cl₂   →   2 AlCl₃   ;

_____________________________

<u>Note</u>: The molecular weight of "aluminum (Al)" is:   " 26.98 g /mol " .

____________________________

So:  We call solve using a technique known as:  "dimensional analysis" :

____________________________

  0.500 mol AlCl₃ * (\frac{2mol Al}{2mol AlCl_{3} }) * (\frac{26.98g Al}{1 mol Al}) = ?

____________________________

<u>Note</u>:  The units of "mol AlCl₃" cancel out to "1' ; and:

          The  units of "mol Al" cancel out to "1" ; and we are left with:

____________________________

 " \frac{(0.500 * 2 * 26.98)}{2}   g Al ["grams of aluminum"] ;

____________________________

<u>Note</u>: We can "cancel out the "2's" ; since "2/2 = 1 " ; and we have:

 →  (0.500 * 26.98) g Al ;

    = 13.49 g Al ;

         →  Round to 3 (Three) significant figures;

         →  Since:  "0.500" has 3 (Three) significant figures:

____________________________

   =  13.5 g Al ; that is:  "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

 Hope this is helpful!  

      Best wishes to you in your academic pursuits—and within the "Brainly" community!

If the mass of 293nv is 293.10 amu and that of 295nv is 295.45 amu , what is the atomic weight of nv?
ycow [4]

Answer;

294.13 amu

Solution;

-293nv is 293.10 amu and that of 295nv is 295.45 amu

293.05+295.2=588.25

588.25/2= 294.13 amu

an amu of 294.13 using significant figures

How many significant figures does 546.000 have
choli [55]
This has only only three sig figs because it is 546.000 the zeros are just place holders so thus meaning they are not significant. It is just another way to write 546 because in that number there is also 3 sig figs. They are just trying to throw you off. Just watch out because if the example is 540 then it is just two significant digits, and it were to be 540. then it be three cause that "." makes the zero significant.  <span />

As you have seen in this lab, the density of water is near 1 g/cm3. Anything with a density lower than this will float in water,
hammer [34]
The third answer is the one you want. You have to have an adjustable density. All other things being equal, if the tanks you use for holding just water when filled with water will let the sub sink, because the sub is made of a dense metal like iron or steel.

If on the other hand you fill these tanks with air, the net density will be below one and the sub will rise.
