Mass using grams because of the balance scale is evenly weighted not from springs and gravity like a normal scale.
Answer:
2.4 moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 g of aluminium.
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
4Al(s) + 3O₂(l) → 2AlO₃(s)
Given data:
Mass of aluminium = 87 g
Moles of oxygen needed = ?
Solution:
Moles of aluminium:
Number of moles of aluminium= Mass/ molar mass
Number of moles of aluminium= 87 g/ 27 g/mol
Number of moles of aluminium= 3.2 mol
Now we will compare the moles of aluminium with oxygen.
Al : O₂
4 : 3
3.2 : 3/4×3.2 = 2.4 mol
2.4 moles of oxygen are needed to react with 87 g of aluminium.
No, it is very unlikely for that to happen.
They discovered this since S waves don’t travel through the earth but P waves do. P waves tend to travel faster than S waves in speed, 1&14km/s vs 1&8km/s
