You have 0.21 moles of Al how many atoms do you have
ZanzabumX [31]

Number of atoms : 1.26 x 10²³

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance  

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

0.21 moles of Al, so n = 0.21

Number of atoms :

\tt N=0.21\times 6.02\times 10^{23}\\\\N=1.26\times 10^{23}

It is expected that a chemical reaction will occur when copper metal is combined with aqueous zinc sulfate. Explain why there wi
REY [17]

Answer:

E_{cell}= +ve, reaction is spontaneous

E_{cell}= -ve, reaction is non spontaneous

E_{cell}= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Case 1: when copper metal is combined with aqueous zinc sulfate.

Cu+ZnSO_4\rightarrow Zn+CuSO_4

Here copper is undergoing oxidation ad thus acts as anode and zinc is undergoing reduction , thus acts as cathode.

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential =E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}= +0.34V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}= -0.76V

E^0=E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}- E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}

E^0=-0.76-(+0.34)=-1.10V

Thus as E_{cell} is negative , the reaction is non spontaneous.

Case 2: when zinc metal and aqueous copper sulfate solution are combined.

Zn+CuSO_4\rightarrow Cu+ZnSO_4

Here zinc is undergoing oxidation ad thus acts as anode and copper is undergoing reduction , thus acts as cathode.

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential =E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}= +0.34V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}= -0.76V

E^0=E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}- E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}

E^0=+0.34-(-0.76)=+1.10V

Thus as E_{cell} is positive , the reaction is spontaneous.

What is the mass percent of chlorine in magnesium chloride?
finlep [7]
The total mass of magnesium chloride is 95.21g/mol

The mass of chlorine is 35.45g/mol

To find the mass percent of chlorine, divide its molar mass by the total mass of the substance and multiply the result by 100:
(35.45/95.21)(100)= 37.2%

H. Identity of unknown metal
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

you can identify an unknown substance by measuring its density and comparing your results to a list of known densities. Density=mass/volume. Assume that you have to identify an unknown metal. You can determine the mass of the metal on a scale.
