Answer:
163.2g
Explanation:
First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:
4Al + 3O2 —> 2Al2O3
From the question given, were were told that 3.2moles of aluminium was exposed to 2.7moles of oxygen. Judging by this, oxygen is excess.
From the equation,
4moles of Al produced 2moles of Al2O3.
Therefore, 3.2moles of Al will produce = (3.2x2)/4 = 1.6mol of Al2O3.
Now, let us covert 1.6mol of Al2O3 to obtain the theoretical yield. This is illustrated below:
Mole of Al2O3 = 1.6mole
Molar Mass of Al2O3 = (27x2) + (16x3) = 54 + 48 =102g/mol
Mass of Al2O3 =?
Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass
Mass = number of mole x molar Mass
Mass of Al2O3 = 1.6 x 102 = 163.2g
Therefore the theoretical of Al2O3 is 163.2g
Answer:
MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.
Explanation:
Alkanes do not form hydrogen bonds and are insoluble in polar solvents e.g water. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are move away from an alkane molecule and this worsens as their Carbon chain / molecular weight increases.
MgCl2 is soluble in water. Water essentially breaks down the ionic crystal lattice and the resulting solution is slightly basic.
Alcohols are generally soluble in water and this is because of the -OH group and its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As applied to alkanes, as the carbon chain in the alkyl group increases, the solubility decreases.
From the most soluble to the least soluble,
MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.
