The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

4Al + 3O2 = 2Al2O3

To determine the mass of oxygen gas that would react with the given amount of aluminum metal, we use the initial amount and relate this amount to the ratio of the substances from the chemical reaction. We do as follows:

moles Al = 16.4 g ( 1 mol / 26.98 g ) = 0.61 mol Al
moles O2 = 0.61 mol Al ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol Al ) = 0.46 mol O2
mass O2 = 0.46 mol O2 ( 32.0 g / mol ) = 14.59 g O2

Therefore, to completely react 16.4 grams of aluminum metal we need a minimum of 14.59 grams of oxygen gas.

Describe how to use Le Chatelier’s principle to predict the possible ways a chemical system can respond to changes.

Andre45 [30]

Le Chatelier's principle simply explains how equilibria change as you change the conditions of a reaction. If you have a reaction that is at equilibrium lets say (A + 2B <--> C + D) by removing C or D we can drive the reaction forward and products more products. I can provide a more in-depth description if needed.

If PbI2(s) is dissolved in 1.0MNaI(aq) , is the maximum possible concentration of Pb2+(aq) in the solution greater than, less th

fredd [130]

Answer:

$\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}$

Less than the concentration of Pb2+(aq) in the solution in part ( a )

Explanation:

From the question:

A)

We assume that s to be the solubility of PbI₂.

The equation of the reaction is given as :

PbI₂(s) ⇌ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq); Ksp = 7 × 10⁻⁹

[Pb²⁺] = s

Then [I⁻] = 2s

$K_{sp} =\text{[Pb$^{2+}$][I$^{-}$]}^{2} = s\times (2s)^{2} = 4s^{3}\\s^{3} = \dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}\\\\s =\mathbf{ \sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}\\\\\text{The mathematical expressionthat can be used to determine the value of }\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}$

B)

The Concentration of Pb²⁺ in water is calculated as :

$\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{K_{sp}}{4}}}$

$\mathbf{s =\sqrt [3]{\dfrac{7*10^{-9}}{4}}}$

$\mathbf{s} =\sqrt[3]{1.75*10^{-9}}$

$\mathbf{s} =\mathbf{1.21*10^{-3} \ mol/L }$

The Concentration of Pb²⁺ in 1.0 mol·L⁻¹ NaI

$\mathbf{PbCl{_2}} \leftrightharpoons \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{Pb^{2+}} \ \ \ \ \ + \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{2 I^-}$

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf0} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{1.0}$

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{+x} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{+2x}$

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{+x} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{1.0+2x}$

The equilibrium constant:

$K_{sp} =[Pb^{2+}}][I^-]^2 \\ \\ K_{sp} = s*(1.0*2s)^2 =7*1.0^{-9} \\ \\ s = 7*10^{-9} \ \ m/L$

It is now clear that maximum possible concentration of Pb²⁺ in the solution is less than that in the solution in part (A). This happens due to the common ion effect. The added iodide ion forces the position of equilibrium to shift to the left, reducing the concentration of Pb²⁺.

Hydrochloric acid (75.0 mL of 0.250 M) is added to 225.0 mL of 0.0550 M Ba(OH)2 solution. What is the concentration of the exces

Shalnov [3]

Answer: The concentration of excess $[OH^-]$ in solution is 0.017 M.

Explanation:

1. $Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text {Volume in L}}$

moles of $HCl=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.250\times 0.075=0.019moles$

1 mole of $HCl$ give = 1 mole of $H^+$

Thus 0.019 moles of $HCl$ give = 0.019 mole of $H^+$

2. moles of $Ba(OH)_2=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.0550\times 0.225=0.012moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $Ba(OH)_2$ gives = 2 moles of $OH^-$

Thus 0.012 moles of $Ba(OH)_2$ give = $2 \times 0.012=0.024$ moles of $OH^-$

$H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O$

As 1 mole of $H^+$ neutralize 1 mole of $OH^-$

0.019 mole of $H^+$ will neutralize 0.019 mole of $OH^-$

Thus (0.024-0.019)= 0.005 moles of $OH^-$ will be left.

$[OH^-]=\frac{\text {moles left}}{\text {Total volume in L}}=\frac{0.005}{0.3L}=0.017M$

Thus molarity of $[OH^-]$ in solution is 0.017 M.

The volume of a single strontium atom is 4.15×10-23 cm3. What is the volume of a strontium atom in microliters

Ivenika [448]

Answer:- $4.15*10^-^2^0\mu L$

Solution:- It is a volume unit conversion problem where we are asked to convert the volume from $cm^3$ to microliters.

We know that:

$1cm^3$ = 1 mL

$1mL=10^-^3L$

and, $1L=10^6\mu L$

Let's use these conversions factors for the desired conversion using dimensional as:

$4.15*10^-^2^3cm^3(\frac{1mL}{1cm^3})(\frac{10^-^3L}{1mL})(\frac{10^6\mu L}{1L})$

= $4.15*10^-^2^0\mu L$

So, the answer is $4.15*10^-^2^0\mu L$ .

Which postulate of Dalton's theory is consistent with the following observation concerning the weights of reactants and products

hram777 [196]

<u>Answer:</u> This illustrates law of conservation of mass.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Dalton's theory is based on mainly two laws which are law of conservation of mass and law of constant proportion.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The chemical equation for the decomposition of calcium carbonate follows:

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

We are given:

Mass of calcium carbonate = 100 grams

Mass of calcium oxide = 56 grams

Mass of carbon dioxide = 44 grams

Total mass on reactant side = 100 g

Total mass on product side = 56 + 44 = 100 g

As, the total mass on reactant side is equal to the total mass on product side.

Thus, this illustrates law of conservation of mass.
