The yield of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

<h3>What is a Percent yield</h3>

A percent yield of a substance measures the amount of the substance actually obtained as a percentage ratio of expected yield.

Percent yield = actual yield / expected yield × 100%

<h3>How to calculate the mass of aluminium obtained from bauxite </h3>

From the data given:

40 % of the bauxite is converted to aluminium oxide.

Volume of bauxite = 1 m^3

40 % of 1 m^3 = 0.4 m^3

volume of aluminium oxide = 0.4 m^3

density of aluminium oxide = 3965 kg/m^3

  • Using mass = density × volume

mass of aluminium oxide = 0.4 × 3965 kg

mass of aluminium oxide = 1586 kg

Formula of aluminium oxide is Al203

molar mass of aluminium oxide = 102 g

  • percentage mass of aluminium in one mole of aluminium oxide = mass of aluminium / mass of aluminium oxide × 100 %

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 54/102 × 100

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 52.94 %

Expected mass of aluminium from aluminium oxide = 52.94 × 1586

Expected mass of aluminium = 839.62 kg

Actual yield = 40 % × 839.62

Actual yield of aluminium = 419.81 kg

mass of aluminium in grams = 419810 g

Therefore, mass of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

The four major attractive forces between particles are ionic bonds, dipole-dipole attractions, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion fo
natima [27]

Answer with Explanation:

Ionic bond:It is that type of bond which formed between negative and positive ions.

Hydrogen bonding:Hydrogen bonding formed between hydrogen and high electronegative elements.

Dispersion force:It is weakest intermolecular force.It is temporary attractive force.When electrons of two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms temporary dipoles.

NaCl: In which Na is positive ion and Cl is negative ion.

Therefore, NaCl is ionic.

HF:F is highest electronegativ elements.

HF:Hydrogen bonding

HCl: Hydrogen bonding

F_2:Dispersion

If the ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 1.2 × 10-6, what is the ph of a 0.40 m solution of this acid?
frez [133]
First, we write out a balanced equation.
HA <--> H(+) + A(-)

Next, we create an ICE table

        HA     <-->      H+     +    A-
[]i     0.40M            0M           0M
Δ[]    -x                   +x            +x
[]f     0.40-x             x              x

Next, we write out the Ka expression.

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

Ka = x*x/(0.40-x) 

However, because Ka is less than 10^-3, we can assume the amount of dissociation is negligible. Thus,

Assume 0.40-x ≈ 0.40

Therefore, 1.2x10^-6 = x^2/0.40

Then we solve for the [H+] concentration, or x

\sqrt{0.40(1.2*10^{-6})} =x

x=6.93x10^-4

Next, to find pH we do 

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log[6.93x10^-4]

pH = 3.2
