If 16.9 kg of Al2O3(s), 57.4 kg of NaOH(l), and 57.4 kg of HF(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produc
hodyreva [135]

Answer: 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

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

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of Al_2O_3 = \frac{16.9\times 1000g}{102g/mol}=165.7moles

moles of NaOH = \frac{57.4\times 1000g}{40g/mol}=1435moles

moles of HF = \frac{57.4\times 1000g}{20g/mol}=2870moles

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 reacts with 6 moles of NaOH

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{6}{1}\times 166=996 moles of NaOH

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 reacts with 12 moles of HF

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{12}{1}\times 166=1992 moles of HF

Thus Al_2O_3 is the limiting reagent.

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 produces = 2 moles of cryolite

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{2}{1}\times 166=332 moles of cryolite

Mass of cryolite (Na_3AlF_6) = moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=332mol\times 210g/mol=69720g=69.72kg

Thus 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

In the SI system of units, the mole is one of seven base units. It is frequently used in chemical calculations. However, a mole
Debora [2.8K]

We have to discuss here whether mole should be considered as a base unit in SI system or not.

The answer is-   mole is considered as base unit in SI system.

There are seven base units in the SI system. They are- kilogram (kg) for mass, second (s) for time, kelvin (K) for temperature, ampere (A) for electric current, mole (mol) for the amount of substance, candela (cd) for luminous intensity and meter (m) is for distance.

Mole is defined as the amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12. One mole contains exactly 6.022 X 10²³ elementary entities.

This number  6.022 X 10²³ is the fixed numerical value which is called Avogadro number which is universally accepted number. Hence mole is also base unit in the SI system.

What is the new freezing point for a 0.811m solution of Li2O in water?
rewona [7]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution = - 4.52°C

Explanation:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

That's the formula for colligative property about freezing point depression.

Li₂O is an oxide that can not be dissociated but, if we see it's a ionic compound.

Li₂O →  2Li⁺  +  O⁻²

3 moles of ions have been formed. Ions dissolved in solution are i, what we call Van't Hoff factor.

m is molality → 0.811 m, this is data

Kf →Cryoscopic constant, for water is 1.86 °C/m

and ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution

We replace: 0°C - Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C/m . 0.811 m . 3

Freezing T° of solution = - 4.52°C
