Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g
Mass of water = 5.67g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.
Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;
Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃
Number of moles;
Number of moles = 
molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole
number of moles = 
= 0.04mole
molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole
number of moles = 
= 0.32mole
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O
0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O
But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.
This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant
Answer:
9.29 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles = ?
Mass = 148.6 g
Solution:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mol
Now we will put the values in formula.
Number of moles = 148.6 g/ 16 g/mol
Number of moles = 9.29 mol
Thus 148.6 g have 9.29 moles.
Answer:
By the result of the formation of positive and negative ions, Ionic compounds are formed.
Explanation:
Electrons are actually transferred from one atom to another to form rare gas electron structures for each ion. The atom which forms a positive ion loses electrons to the atom which gains electrons to form a negative ion. A compound is not stable unless the number of electrons which are lost and gained are equal
Answer:
Bi (Bismuth)
Ag (Silver)
Li (Lithium)
Explanation:
Xe (Xenon) and I (Iodine) are non-metals. They cannot from a metallic bond because metallic bonds are bonds between metals only.
