Consider this reaction : 2Al2O3 → 4Al + 3O2

<em>The number of moles of Al2O3 can be determined from its mass →</em>

<em>Number of moles of AL2O3 = mass/molar mass</em>

                                               =51/(27x2+16x3)

                                               = 0.5 mol

Now, calculate aluminium's number of moles from the mole ratio →

<em>Mole ratio</em>  4(Al) : 2(Al2O3)

<em>Number of moles of Al</em> = (4/2) x0.5mol = 1 mol

<em>Mass</em> of Al = number of moles x molar mass

                                   = 1x27

                                   = 27kg <em>(theoretical yield)</em>

<em>Given, actual yield</em> = 17kg

<em>Therefore, percentage yield</em> = (actual yield / theoretical yield ) x 100

                             = (17/27)x100

                               = 62.96%

Write a nuclear equation for the fusion of two h−2 atoms to form he3 . how many neutrons are produced in the reaction
nika2105 [10]

A nuclear reaction involves the reaction of nuclei of atoms. This can be expressed in the form of nuclear equation in which the reactant nuclei are represented by their respective symbols carrying two numbers, the mass number denoted by A present at the top left and the atomic number (Z) written at the bottom left of the symbol of the element's nucleus.

The given nuclear reaction is the fusion of two isotopes of hydrogen, H-2 to form Helium-3 nucleus:

^{2}_{1}H  +^{2}_{1}H -->^{3}_{2}He+^{1}_{0}n

This reaction produces a single neutron.

What is the difference between an atom and an ion?<br>please.
just olya [345]

Answer: here’s the answer Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.

The following equation represents the type of reaction called
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻    →    Mn⁴⁺

Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.

Examples:

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
