Answer: 31.8 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Al_2O_3=\frac{60.0g}{102g/mol}=0.59moles

\text{Moles of} C=\frac{30.0g}{12g/mol}=2.5moles

Al_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 2Al+3CO  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Al_2O_3 require 3 moles of C

Thus 0.59 moles of Al_2O_3 will require=\frac{3}{1}\times 0.59=1.77moles  of C

Thus Al_2O_3 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and C is the excess reagent as it is present in more amount than required.

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 give = 2 moles of Al

Thus 0.59 moles of Al_2O_3 give =\frac{2}{1}\times 0.59=1.18moles  of Al

Mass of Al=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=1.18moles\times 27g/mol=31.8g

Thus 31.8 g of Al will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.

Are carboxylic acids of more than 10 carbons more soluble in polar or nonpolar solvents? Explain.
lina2011 [118]

Answer: Non polar solvents

Explanation:

Since with increasing the size of alkyl group hydrophobic nature increases and solubility in polar solvents decreases .

Hence Carboxylic acids with more than 10 carbon atoms, solubility is more in non polar solvents.

7 Which of the following functional groups is present in an organic compound which gives bubbles on treatment with a saturated s
Damm [24]

Answer:

A. Carboxyl group

Explanation:

The carboxyl group is an organic functional group in chemistry that consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and singly linked to a hydroxyl group. Another way to think about it is as a carbonyl group (C=O) with an attached hydroxyl group (O-H).
