Given:

7.20 g sample of Al2(SO4)3

Required:

Mass of oxygen

Solution:

Since you are not given a chemical reaction, just base your solution to the chemical formula given.

Molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 = 342.15 g/mol

7.20 g Al2(SO4)3 (1 mol/342.15g)(3mol O/2 mol Al)(1 mol O2/1/2 mol O2)(32g O2/1mol O2) = 4.04 g O2

7.20 g of a sample of Al2(SO4)3 contains 4.04 g of oxygen.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A compound </h3>

A compound is a substances that contains two or more different atoms that are bonded together. When the atoms are similar the substance is known as a molecule, therefore not all molecules are compounds.

<h3>Molar mass </h3>

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a compound or a substance. The molar mass of a compound is the mass that is equivalent to the sum of relative atomic masses of the atoms of elements making up the compound.

<h3>Mass percent composition of a compound </h3>

Mass percent composition of a compound is calculated by dividing the mass of element in one mole of the compound by the molar mass of the compound and multiplying by 100%.

In this case we are require to calculate the mass of Oxygen in 7.2 g of Al2(SO4)3

Therefore; the molar mass of Al2(SO4)3 will be; 342.15 g/mol
Al2(SO4)3 is made up of two Al atoms, three sulfur atoms, and 12 oxygen atoms.

Therefore;

1 mole of Al2(SO4)3 contains a mass of 192 g of Oxygen

Thus; A sample of 7.20 g Al2(SO4)3 will contain;

= ((7.2 g Al2(SO4)3x(192 g O))/ 342.15 g/mol Al2(SO4)3

= 4.04 g Oxygen

as a 15.1-gram sample of a metal absorbs 48.75 j of heat its temperature increases 25.0 k what is the specific heat capacity of

Leviafan [203]

Specific heat capacity (c) of a material is related to the Energy Absorbed (Q), mass of the material (m) and the change in temperature (T) by the following equation:

$c= \frac{Q}{mT}$

Substituting the values of Q, m and T in the above equation, we get:

$c= \frac{48.75}{15.1*25}=0.129$

So the specific heat capacity of the metal with given conditions will be 0.129 J/g.K

How much energy is required to decompose 612 g of pcl3, according to the reaction below? the molar mass of pcl3 is 137.32 g/mol

Assoli18 [71]

The reaction is:

4 PCl3 (g) ---> P4(s) + 6 Cl2(g).

Now, you need to convert the mass of PCl3 into number of moles, for which you use the molar mass of PCl3 in this way:

number of moles = number of grams / molar mass =>

number of moles of PCl3 = 612 g / 137.32 g/mol = 4.4567 moles of PCl3.

Now use the proportion with the ΔH rxn given.

4 mol PCl3 / 1207 kJ = 4.4567 mol / x => x = 4.4567 mol * 1207 kJ / 4 mol = 1,344.8 kJ = 1.34 * 10^3 kJ.

Answer: 1.34 * 10 ^3 kJ (option d)
