please hurry! If 3.87g of powdered aluminum oxide is placed in a container containing 5.67g of water, what is the limiting react

VikaD [51]

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 = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole

number of moles = $\frac{3.87}{102}$ = 0.04mole

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole

number of moles = $\frac{5.67}{18}$ = 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

You weigh out 0.1183 g of a complex salt to analyze for the percentage of cyanide ion in your complex salt. After dissolving the

Stels [109]

Answer:

25.35%

Explanation:

Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;

H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)

Amount of potassium permanganate reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles

If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-

8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2

= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-

Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol

= 0.03 g

Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100

= 25.35%

Margarita [4]

Answer: 12

Explanation.

This problem was recently posted and deals with the conversion of units,so I give the same answer.

You need to convert the 9 quibs of skvarnick to sleps, to determine how many sleps you have.

The conversion of units is easily undertaken once you build your conversion factors.

Conversion factors are ratios (fractions) equivalent to one, which permits use the identity property of the multiplication to change one unit to a different equivalent one.

Remember that the identity property of multiplication states that any amount multiplied by 1 remains unchanged, i.e.

$a.1=a$

Then, build your conversion factor from the definitions given:

12 sleps is equal to 9 quibs.

12 sleps = 9 quibs

in virtue of the division property of equality, you can divide both sides by 12 sleps and get:

1 = 12 sleps / 9 quibs ← conversion factor

Now you can multiply the amount 9 quibs by the conversion factor, which is equal to 1, to find the equivalent amount of sleps:

identity property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs × 1

substitution property: 9 quibs = 9 quibs × 12 sleps/ 9 quibs

You can see that the unit quibs appear in the numerator and the denominator so it cancels out, and the result will be in sleps.

So, all you have to do now is the operations with the numbers:

9 quibs = (9 × 12 / 9) sleps = 12 sleps ← answer
