Answer:

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster.

Solid aluminum (AI) and oxygen (O_2) gas react to form solid aluminum oxide (Al_2O_3). Suppose you have 7.0 mol of Al and 9.0 mo

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

There will be formed 3.5 moles of Al2O3 ( 356.9 grams)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Numbers of Al = 7.0 mol

Numbers of mol O2 = O2

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Al2O3(s)

Step 3: Calculate limiting reactant

For 4 moles Al we need 3 moles O2 to produce 2 moles Al2O3

Al is the limiting reactant, it will be consumed completely (7 moles).

O2 is in excess. There will react 3/4 * 7 = 5.25 moles

There will remain 9-5.25 = 3.75 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles Al2O3

For 4 moles Al we'll have 2moles Al2O3

For 7.0 moles of Al we'll have 3.5 moles of Al2O3 produced

Step 5: Calculate mass of Al2O3

Mass Al2O3 = moles Al2O3 * molar mass Al2O3

Mass Al2O3 = 3.5 moles* 101.96 g/mol

Mass Al2O3 = 356.9 grams

There will be formed 3.5 moles of Al2O3 ( 356.9 grams)

Calculate the reaction quotient Qp for the following redox reaction: 14H+ + Cr2O72- + 6Cl- ----> 2Cr3+ + 3Cl2 + 7H2O The reac

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Value of $Q_{p}$ for the given redox reaction is $1.0\times 10^{-8}$

Explanation:

Redox reaction with states of species:

$14H^{+}(aq.)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq.)+6Cl^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3Cl_{2}(g)+7H_{2}O(l)$

Reaction quotient for this redox reaction:

$Q_{p}=\frac{[Cr^{3+}]^{2}.P_{Cl_{2}}^{3}}{[H^{+}]^{14}.[Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}].[Cl^{-}]^{6}}$

Species inside third braket represent concentration in molarity, P represent pressure in atm and concentration of $H_{2}O$ is taken as 1 due to the fact that $H_{2}O$ is a pure liquid.

$pH=-log[H^{+}]$

So, $[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}$

Plug in all the given values in the equation of $Q_{p}$ :

$Q_{p}=\frac{(0.10)^{2}\times (0.010)^{3}}{(10^{-0.0})^{14}\times (1.0)\times (1.0)^{6}}=1.0\times 10^{-8}$

If you are supposed to put in 2/4 a cup sugar for a recipe, can you just put in a half cup of sugar?

natta225 [31]

I would assume so.

Given $\frac{2}{4}$ , we can simplify the fraction to $\frac{1}{2}$

Both would obtain the same proportions, so I don't see why putting a half cup of sugar would make things any different.

Hope this is the answer you are looking for.
