Answer:
d. 12.3 grams of Al2O3
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation of this chemical reaction is as follows:
4Al + 3O2 --> 2Al2O3
Based on the balanced equation, 4 moles of aluminum (limiting reagent) reacts to form 2 moles of aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
First, we need to convert the mass of aluminum to moles using the formula;
mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of Al = 27g/mol
mole = 6.50/27
= 0.241mol of Al.
Hence, if 4 moles of aluminum (limiting reagent) reacts to form 2 moles of aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
Then, 0.241mol of Al will produce (0.241 × 2/4) = 0.241/2 = 0.121mol of Al2O3.
Convert this mole value to molar mass using mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of Al2O3 = 27(2) + 16(3)
= 54 + 48
= 102g/mol
mass = molar mass × mole
mass = 102 × 0.121
mass of Al2O3 = 12.34grams.
Rate of reaction can be understood as the rate of change of the materials, such as the rate of depletion of the reactants or the rate of production of products. Therefore, if a graph of concentration and time is plotted, the rate of reaction is simply the slope of the graph.
Explanation:
First I'm going to draw the structure of the neutral calcium atom and the structure of the chlorine atom.
Now I'm going to draw only the valence shells of ions that participate in ionic bonding:
So Ca2+ will donate 2 electrons for both 2 atoms of Chlorine, forming CaCl2.
The reaction is
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O (l) -----> Ca(OH)₂ (s) + C₂H₂ (g)
As we have data of gas ethyne (or acetylene), C₂H₂
We can calculate the moles of acetylene and from this we can estimate the mass of calcium carbide taken
the moles of acetylene will be calculated using ideal gas equation
PV =nRT
R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/molK
T = 385 K
V = volume = 550 L
P = Pressure = 1.25 atm
n = moles = ?
n = PV /RT = 1.25 X 550 / 0.0821 X 385 = 21.75 mol
As per balanced equation these moles of acetylene will be obtained from same moles of calcium carbide
moles of calcium carbide = 21.75mol
molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + 24 = 64
mass of CaC₂ = moles X molar mass = 21.75 X 64 = 1392g
