Who uses holmium? I need to know for a science project.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tanzania [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Holmium can absorb neutrons, so it is used in nuclear reactors to keep a chain reaction under control. Its alloys are used in some magnets. Holmium has no known biological role, and is non-toxic. Holmium is found as a minor component of the minerals monazite and bastnaesite.

Explanation:

this is basically used in industries

A chemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chloride solution. The chemist places 0.50 grams of aluminum foil in a solut
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometry problem.
  • We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:

<em>2Al + 3CuCl₂ → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃.</em>

  • It is clear that 2.0 moles of Al foil reacts with 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ to produce 3.0 moles of Cu metal and 2.0 moles of AlCl₃.
  • Also, we need to calculate the number of moles of the reported masses of Al foil (0.50 g) and CuCl₂ (0.75 g) using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>

  • The no. of moles of Al foil = mass / atomic mass = (0.50 g) / (26.98 g/mol) = 0.0185 mol.
  • The no. of moles of CuCl₂ = mass / molar mass = (0.75 g) / (134.45 g/mol) = 5.578 x 10⁻³  mol.
  • <em>From the stichiometry Al foil reacts with CuCl₂ with a ratio of 2:3.</em>

∴ 3.85 x 10⁻³  mol of Al foil reacts completely with 5.578 x 10⁻³  mol of CuCl₂ with <em>(2:3)</em> ratio and CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant while Al foil is in excess.

  • From the stichiometry 3.0 moles of  CuCl₂ will produce the same no. of moles of copper metal (3.0 moles).
  • So, this reaction will produce 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of copper metal.
  • Finally, we can calculate the mass of copper produced using:

mass of Cu = no. of moles x Atomic mass of Cu = (5.578 x 10⁻³  mol)(63.546 g/mol) = 0.354459 g ≅ 0.36 g.

  • <u><em>So, the answer is:</em></u>

<em>Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.</em>
