Molar mass of copper chloride is 134.45 g/mole, so the mole of 10.5 g copper chloride is 10.5/134.45 = 0.078 mole.  Molar mass of aluminum is 27 g/mole, so the mole of 12.4 g aluminium is 12.4/27 = 0.46 mole.  The formula of this reaction is as follows, 2Al + 3CuCl2 ⇒ 2AlCl3 + 3Cu. Thus the molar ratio of the reactants is Al:CuCl2 = 2:3. So to react with 0.078 mole of copper chloride, will need 0.078 x 2/3 = 0.052 moles of aluminum which is less than the given amount (0.46mole).  Therefore, copper chloride is the limiting reactant.

Answer: copper chloride

Explanation:

3CuCl_2+2Al\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

{\text {moles of copper chloride}=\frac{10.5g}{134g/mol}=0.08

{\text {moles of copper aluminium}=\frac{12.4g}{27g/mol}=0.46

From the balanced equation. it can be seen that 3 moles of copper chloride reacts with 2 moles of Al.

Thus 0.08 moles of copper chloride reacts with=\frac2}{3}\times 0.08=0.05 moles of Al.

Thus copper chloride is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and aluminium is the excess reagent as it is left unused. (0.46-0.05)=0.41 moles are in excess.

What is the pH of a solution with an [H+] of (a) 5.4 x 10-10, (b) 4.3 x 10-5, (c) 5.4 x 10-7?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

a. 9.2

b. 4.4

c. 6.3

Explanation:

In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2

Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.

(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.

(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.

1. a.) Calculate the wavelength of light which has a frequency of 5.25 x 10 14 Hz.
Scilla [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.71 × 10² nm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The product of wavelength and frequency of a wave gives the speed of the wave.

Therefore;

Velocity of wave = Wavelength × Frequency

c = f ×λ

In our case;

Frequency = 5.25 × 10^14 Hz

Speed of light = 2.998 × 10^8m/s

But;

λ = c ÷ f

  = 2.998 × 10^8m/s ÷  5.25 × 10^14 Hz

  = 5.71 × 10^-7 m

But; 1 M = 10^9 nm

Therefore;

wavelength = 5.71 × 10^-7 × 10^9

                  = 5.71 × 10² nm

The wavelength of light wave 5.71 × 10² nm

A medical research lab in Europe is studying a drug’s absorption in the blood. Another lab in Japan is trying to delay the elimi
ladessa [460]

The correct answer is From different social and ethnic backgrounds.

Explanation:

The purpose of science studies is to gain an understanding of specific phenomena and use this in the benefit of the world or humanity. Moreover, science is guided by objective methods and these are applied all around the world. This feature allows scientists from all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds to study the same phenomena and obtain similar results, which is essential for the progress of scientific knowledge. This is exemplified by two different labs in two different countries studying drug absorption because the results of these two studies can be analyzed together to understand drug absorption.

In this context, one factor that contributes to the progress of scientific knowledge is the effort of scientists "from different social and ethnic backgrounds".
