Answer:

D.) 4

Explanation:

Al + 3 O₂ --> 2 Al₂O₃

In the equation, there are:

Reactants: 1 Al and 6 O

Products: 4 Al and 6 O

To determine how many atoms there are of each, you multiply the coefficients by the subscripts attached to the atoms. While the question doesn't ask, as you can see, the oxygen atoms are balanced because there is an equal amount on both sides. To balance the aluminum atoms, you can get 4 aluminum atoms on the reactants side by using a coefficient of 4.

The new equation would look this this:

4 Al + 3 O₂ --> 2 Al₂O₃

There are now:

Reactants: 4 Al and 6 O

Products: 4 Al and 6 O

If you have 16 g of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate, how much water is required to prepare 0.16 M solution from this amount

Schach [20]

Answer: The amount of water required to prepare given amount of salt is 398.4 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of solution, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.16 M

Given mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 16 g

Molar mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 251 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.16M=\frac{16\times 1000}{251\times \text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{16\times 1000}{251\times 0.16}=398.4mL$

Volume of water = Volume of solution = 398.4 mL

Hence, the amount of water required to prepare given amount of salt is 398.4 mL

Can a substance be a lewis acid without being a bronsted-lowry acid?argue

storchak [24]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, A substance can be a lewis acid without being a Bronsted-Lowery acid because there are some substances which cannot donate protons(Bronsted-Lowery acid) but can accept a pair of electron.

For Example:

Let us take the example of BF₃

BF₃ contains no proton so it is not a Bronsted Lowery Acid

However, BF₃ has an incomplete octet with 6 electrons. It needs an electron pair to complete its octet. It accepts a pair of electron to become a Lewis Acid

If a reaction vessel initially contains 5 mol S and 10 mil O2, how many moles of S will be in the reaction vessel once the react

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

2S + 3O₂ = 2SO₃

2moles 3 moles

2 moles of S react with 3 moles of O₂

5 moles of S will react with 3 x 5 / 2 moles of O₂

= 7.5 moles of O₂ .

O₂ remaining unreacted = 10 - 7.5 = 2.5 moles .

All the moles of S will exhausted in the reaction and 2.5 moles of oxygen will be left .

Choose the statement below that is TRUE. A weak acid solution consists of mostly insoluble acid molecules. The term 'strong elec

lora16 [44]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A weak acid is defined as a substance which dissociates partially into a solvent. This also means that most of the molecules of a weak acid solution remain insoluble in nature.

A solution in which solute particles completely dissociate into ions in a solvent is known as a strong electrolyte.

Whereas a solution in which solute particles partially dissociate into ions is known as a weak electrolyte.

A molecular compound is a covalent compound and as like dissolves like. So, molecular compounds are not soluble in polar solvent like water.

Therefore, we can conclude that the true statement is weak acid solution consists of mostly insoluble acid molecules.
