A 400g sample is found to be 27% aluminum. What is the mass percent of A1 in the sample?

1 answer:

8 0

34.59%

Explanation:
In order to calculate the mass percent of aluminum in that ionic compound, we're going to need two things:
1: The formula mass of the entire compound

2: The atomic mass of aluminum

The formula mass of aluminum hydroxide is
78.00
g
m
o
l
because:
26.98
g
m
o
l
+
3
(
16.00

)
+
3
(
1.0079
g
mol
)

=
78.00
g
m
o
l

We already know the atomic mass of aluminum since that's already given.
Now, we have to use the following equation:

The numerator represents the mass of the desired atom, which is Al in our case, and the denominator represents the mass of the entire compound. You just divide the two and multiply by 100 to obtain the percent composition:
Mass of Al
Molar Mass of Al(OH)

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.

N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

2. $TiO_2$

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide ( $Sc_2O_3$ ) is an oxide in which $Sc^{3+}$ behaves as cation and $O^{2-}$ behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation $Al^{3+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. $TiO_2$

This is because the charge on the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is greater than that of $Sc^{3+}$ and also the size of the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

Why methylene blue is blue

bixtya [17]

Methylene blue indicates the presence of oxidizing agents because it is oxidized itself by these compounds. When electrons are stripped from methylene blue, the resulting molecule imparts a blue color to the solution--giving a clear sign of a chemical change.
