<h2>Answer:  kilograms of cryolite ≈ 50.23 kg</h2>

Explanation:

<u><em>Write the balanced equation</em></u>

Let's start off by writing the reaction for the formation of cryolite:

Al₂O₃  +  6NaOH  +  12HF    →    2Na₃AlF₆  +  9H₂O

<em><u>Determine the limiting factor</u></em>

moles = mass ÷ molar mass

moles of Al₂O₃ = 12200 g ÷ 101.96 g/mol = 119.65 mol

moles of NaOH = 57400 g ÷  39.997 g/mol = 1435.11 mol

moles of HF = 57400 g ÷ 20.01 g/mol = 2868.57 mol

Since Al₂O₃ has the smallest number of moles in the reaction, it is the limiting factor. As such we will have to use the moles of Al₂O₃ to determine the moles of cryolite that will be produced.

<em><u>Find the mole ratio between the limiting factor and the cryolite</u></em>

The mole ratio of Al₂O₃ : Na₃AlF₆ based on the balanced equation is 1 : 2

∴ since the moles of Al₂O₃ = 119.65 mol

        the moles of Na₃AlF₆ = 119.65 mol × 2 = 239.3 mol

<u><em>Calculate the mass of the Cryolite</em></u>

Mass cryolite = moles × molar mass

                      = 239.3 mol × 209.9 g/mol

                      =  50229.07 g

      ∴ kilograms of cryolite ≈ 50.23 kg

otez555 [7]

Answer:

C) It will accelerate.  

Explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will accelerate.

An unbalanced force will change the speed or direction (or both) of an object. A change in speed and/or direction is acceleration.

A) is wrong. The object will stop moving only if there is a balanced force in the opposite direction.

B) is wrong. The object will decrease speed only if the unbalanced force has a component opposite to the direction of motion.

d) is wrong. The object will increase speed only if the unbalanced force has a component in the direction of motion.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Carbonated drinks in cans have a headspace to avoid explosion

Explanation:

  • When we see in carbonated drinks in cans we can see there is a small amount of space above the liquid level known as the headspace. This space is not a wasted space. The gas filled in the can is compressed highly which when opened comes out with a high pressure with an explosion.
  • Therefore, to avoid the carbonated drinks not to explode when shaken the carbonated drinks and the bottled juices have headspace. This means the headspace is not wasted.
