Answer:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂ → 3Zn + 2AlCl₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Al + ZnCl₂ → Zn + AlCl₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂ → 3Zn + 2AlCl₃

This is the example of single displacement reaction. Al displace the zinc and form aluminium chloride and zinc metal.

There are two Al three zinc and six chlorine atoms on both side of equation so it is correctly balanced.

Thus it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

What amount of carbon dioxide (in moles) is produced from the reaction of 2.24 moles of ethanol with excess oxygen?

algol13

Answer : The amount of carbon dioxide produced is, 197.12 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of ethanol = 2.24 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

First we have to calculate the moles carbon dioxide.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of ethanol react to give 2 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 2.24 mole of ethanol react to give $2\times 2.24=4.48$ moles of carbon dioxide

Now we have to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide.

$\text{Mass of }CO_2=\text{Moles of }CO_2\times \text{Molar mass of }CO_2$

$\text{Mass of }CO_2=4.48mole\times 44g/mole=197.12g$

Therefore, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is 197.12 grams.

How many moles of carbon are in 7.00 x 1023 atoms of carbon?

Andru [333]

Answer:

<h2>1.16 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{7 \times {10}^{23} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } = \frac{7}{6.02} \\ = 1.162790....$

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.16 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
