ALS = shorthand for aluminium sulfate which has a molar mass of 342.15 g/mol
[tex]ALS: \frac{0.250mols}{1} *\frac{1g}{342.15mols} = \frac{0.250g}{342.15}=0.0007307 g[/tex]
NH3 has a molar mass of 17.031 g/mol
[tex]NH3: \frac{2.70g}{1} *\frac{17.031mols}{1g} = \frac{0.250g}{342.15}=45.9837 mols[/tex]
Aluminium sulphate (AlS) whose molar mass is= [tex]\sf{ 342.15\dfrac{g}{mol} }[/tex]
we have to find the 0.250 moles of aluminum sulphate.
[tex]\implies AlS=\dfrac{1g}{342.15~mole}×0.250~mole \\\\\implies AlS=\dfrac{0.250}{342.15}\\\\\implies \dfrac{\frac{250}{1000}}{\frac{34215}{100}}\\\\\implies \dfrac{250}{1000}×\dfrac{100}{34215}\\\\=0.00073067\approx{0.0007307~g}[/tex]
[tex]\\\\\\[/tex]
Ammonia(NH3) whose molar mass is =[tex]\sf{17.031\dfrac{mol}{g} }[/tex]
We have to find 2.70 grams of ammonia
[tex]\implies NH_{3}=\dfrac{17.031~mol}{1g}×2.70g\\\\ 17.031×2.70\\\\\dfrac{17031}{1000}×\dfrac{270}{100}\\\\ \dfrac{4598370}{100000}\\\\=45.9837\approx{46~mole}[/tex]

The mass of a crucible and lid is 23.422 g. After adding a sample of hydrate compound the crucible, cover, and contents weigh 24.746 g. After heating with a Bunsen burner to remove the water of hydration, the mass of the crucible, cover, and sample was 24.213 g. How many moles of water did the hydrate compound contain
Answer:
0.030 mole
Explanation:
Mass of crucible + lid = 23.422 g
Mass of crucible + lid + compound = 24.746 g
Mass of crucible + lid + compound - water = 24.213
Mass of water = Mass of crucible + lid + compound + heat
= 24.746 - 24.213
= 0.533 g
Mole of water in the hydrated compound = mass of water in the compound/molar mass of water
= 0.533/18
= 0.0296 mole = 0.030 mole
A student attempts to separate 4.656 g of a sand/salt mixture just like you did in this lab. After carrying out the experiment, she recovers 2.775 g of sand and 0.852 g of salt.a. What was the percent composition of sand in the mixture according to the student's data? b. What was the percent recovery?
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Total mixture = 4.656 g
Sand recovered = 2.775 g
percent composition of sand in the mixture
= (2.775 g / 4.656 g ) x 100
= 59.6 % .
b )
Total of sand and salt recovered = 2.775 g + .852 g = 3.627 g .
Total mixture = 4.656 g
percent recovery = (3.627 / 4.656 ) x 100
= 77.9 % .
For a given fluorophore, select the choice that correctly lists the processes of fluorescence, absorption, and phosphorescence in order from shortest to longest wavelength.
a. absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence
b. Fluorescence = phosphorescence, absorption
c. fluorescence, phosphorescence, absorption
d. phosphorescence, fluorescence, absorption
e. absorption, phosphorescence, fluorescence
f. absorption, fluorescence = phosphorescence
Answer:
absorption, fluorescence = phosphorescence
Explanation:
Given a particular fluorophore, the wavelength of absorption of the fluorophore is always shorter. Both fluorescence and phosphorescence are kinds of photoluminescence.
Recall that both fluorescence and phosphorescence occur at a longer wavelength. The difference between the two is only in the time taken during the process. While fluorescence takes a shorter time to occur, phosphorescence takes a longer time to occur.
The major difference between fluorescence and phosphorescence is that change of spin occurs during phosphorescence but not fluorescence.

What is the quantity of heat evolved, in kilojoules, when a 180 g mixture containing equal parts of H₂ and O₂ by mass is burned?
in kj
Answer:
1360kJ are evolved
Explanation:
When 1mole of H2 reacts with 1/2 moles O2 producing 1 mole of water and 241.8kJ.
To solve this question we need to find the limiting reactant knowing were added 90g of H2 and 90g of O2 as follows:
Moles H2 -Molar mass: 2g/mol-
90g H2 * (1mol / 2g) = 45 moles
Moles O2 -Molar mass: 32g/mol-
90g * (1mol / 32g) = 2.81moles
For a complete reaction of 2.81 moles of O2 are needed:
2.81 moles O2 * (1mol H2 / 1/2 mol O2) = 5.62 moles H2
As there are 45 moles, H2 is the excess reactant and O2 the limiting reactant.
As 1/2 moles O2 produce 241.8kJ, 2.81 moles will produce:
2.81 moles O2 * (241.8kJ / 1/2moles O2) =
1360kJ are evolvedThe quantity of heat evolved when 180 g mixture containing equal parts of H₂ and O₂ burned is
The equation for the combustion of hydrogen is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{H_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to H_2O \ \ \ \ \Delta H_r^0 = -241.8\ kJ/mol}[/tex]
Recall that:
number of moles = mass/molar mass:Since the mass of 180 g is equally shared by H₂ and O₂, then:
mass of H₂ = 90 gmass of O₂ = 90 gThe number of moles of the reactant can be determined as follows:
For H₂:
[tex]\mathbf{no \ of \ moles = \dfrac{mass }{molar \ mass}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{no \ of \ moles = \dfrac{90 \ g }{2.016 \ g/mol}}[/tex]
no of moles = 44.6 mol
For O₂:
[tex]\mathbf{no \ of \ moles = \dfrac{90 \ g }{32 \ g/mol}}[/tex]
no of moles = 2.8 mol
Here, since O₂ has a lesser amount of mole, then O₂ is regarded as the limiting reagent here:
If 1/2 moles of O₂ produces -241.8 kJ/mol of water;
Then, the quantity of heat that will evolve when 180 g mixture containing equal parts of H₂ and O₂ burned is:
[tex]\mathbf{= \Big (\dfrac{2.81 \ mol}{\dfrac{1}{2 } \ mol }\Big) \times (-241.8 \ kJ) }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{= \Big (5.62\Big) \times (-241.8 \ kJ) }[/tex]
= - 1358.91 kJ
≅ - 1360 kJ
Therefore, we can conclude that the quantity of heat evolved is - 1360 kJ

Convert 192 grams of phosphorus pentabromide to molecules.
Convert 3.42 kilograms of table sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) to molecules.
Answer:
1) 2.69 * 10²³ PBr₅
2) 6.02 * 10²⁴ C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
Explanation:
Question 1)
We want to convert 192 grams of phosphorus pentabromide to molecules. Note that 192 is three significant figures.
Phosphorus pentabromide is given by PBr₅.
To convert from grams to molecules, we can convert from grams to moles first, and then from moles to molecules.
To convert from grams to moles, we will find the molar mass of PBr₅.
Since the molar mass of P is 30.974 g/mol and the molar mass of Br is 79.904 g/mol, the molar mass of PBr₅ is:
[tex](30.974)+5(79.904) = 430.494\text{ g/mol}[/tex]
And since we want to convert from grams to moles, we can write the following ratio:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1 \text{ mol PBr$_5$}}{430.494\text{ g PBr$_5$}}[/tex]
Where grams is in the denominator, which allows us to cancel them out, leaving us with only moles.
To convert from moles to molecules, we can use the definition of the mole: a mole of one substance has 6.022 * 10²³ amount of that substance.
So, a mole of PBr₅ has 6.022 * 10²³ molecules of PBr₅. Since we want to cancel out the moles, we can write the ratio:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ PBr$_5$}}{1\text{ mol PBr$_5$}}[/tex]
In combination, starting with 192 grams of PBr₅, we will acquire:
[tex]\displaystyle 192\text{ g PBr$_5$} \cdot \displaystyle \frac{1 \text{ mol PBr$_5$}}{430.494\text{ g PBr$_5$}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ PBr$_5$}}{1\text{ mol PBr$_5$}}[/tex]
Cancel like units:
[tex]\displaystyle = 192 \cdot \displaystyle \frac{1 }{430.494}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ PBr$_5$}}{1}[/tex]
Multiply. Hence:
[tex]=2.6858...\times 10^{23}\text{ PBr$_5$}[/tex]
Since the final answer should have three significant digits, our final answer is:
[tex]= 2.69\times 10^{23} \text{ PBr$_5$}[/tex]
So, there are about 2.69 * 10²³ molecules of PBr₅ in 192 grams of the substance.
Question 2)
We want to convert 3.42 kilograms of table sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) to molecules. Note that this is three significant figures.
3.42 kilograms is equivalent to 3420 grams of table sugar.
Again, we can convert from grams to moles, and then from moles to molecules.
First, we will find the molar mass of table sugar. The molar mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol, hydrogen 1.008 g/mol, and oxygen 15.999 g/mol. Thus, the molar mass of table sugar will be:
[tex]12(12.011)+22(1.008)+11(15.999) = 342.297\text{ g/mol}[/tex]
To cancel units, we can write our ratio as:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}{342.297\text{ g C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}[/tex]
With grams in the denominator.
And by definition:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6.022\times 10^{23} \text{ C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}{1\text{ mol C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}[/tex]
Combining the two ratios and the starting value, we acquire:
[tex]3420 \text{ g C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}{342.297\text{ g C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{6.022\times 10^{23} \text{ C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}{1\text{ mol C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}[/tex]
Cancel like units:
[tex]=3420 \cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{342.297}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{6.022\times 10^{23} \text{ C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}{1}[/tex]
Multiply:
[tex]\displaystyle = 60.1677... \times 10^{23} \text{ C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}[/tex]
Rewrite:
[tex]\displaystyle = 6.01677... \times 10^{24} \text{ C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}[/tex]
The resulting answer should have three significant digits. Hence:
[tex]=6.02\times 10^{24} \text{ C$_{12}$H$_{22}$O$_{11}$}}[/tex]
So, there are about 6.02 * 10²⁴ molecules of table sugar in 3.42 kilograms of the substance.
Answer:
2.69×10²³ molecules of PBr₅
6.02×10²⁴ molecules of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
Explanation:
To solve the first problem, we want to first find formula for phosphorus pentabromide, which is PBr₅. Now, we need to know the molar mass of PBr₅, which is about 430.49 g/mol. To get to molecules, we need to use Avogadro's number, which is 6.022×10²³ molecules/mol.
[tex]192g*\frac{1mol}{430.49g} *\frac{6.022*10^{23}molecules}{1mol} =2.69*10^{23} molecules[/tex]
Now, we know that there are about 2.69×10²³ molecules of PBr₅.
To solve the second problem, we need to use Avogadro's number, along with finding the molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁, and converting kilograms to grams.
[tex]3.42 kg*\frac{1000g}{1kg} *\frac{1mol}{342.3g} *\frac{6.022*10^{23} molecules}{1mol} =6.02*10^{24} molecules[/tex]
Now, we know that there are about 6.02×10²⁴ molecules of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

When the metals react with steam it produces the solid metal oxide and hydrogen gas. On the surface o metals, a protective layer of aluminium oxide is formed that keeps water away from the metal so we can say that silver oxide and hydrogen are formed from the reaction of silver metal and steam.
Based on their acid and base properties, naphthalene, benzoic acid and ethyl 4-aminobenzonate mixed in ether solution could be separated using separation funnel. One student initially used HCl solution for this separation. Which compound he may find in the lower layer upon the addition of HCl solution
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
When using a separating funnel to separate a mixture of substances, we expect that the system will consist of an organic phase and an aqueous phase. The organic phase is usually found on top while the aqueous phase is found below.
When naphthalene, benzoic acid and ethyl 4-aminobenzonate mixed in ether solution is separated using HCl, the ethyl 4-aminobenzonate is found in the lower aqueous layer.
This is because, the ethyl 4-aminobenzonate can react with HCl to form an ionic hydrochloride salt which dissolves in the lower aqueous layer.

Double replacement reaction.
It is in agreement with the law of conservation of mass because we have two potassium atoms, two iodine atoms, one lead atom, two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms on both sides of the chemical equation (count them).
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns possible for us to solve this problem by firstly considering that this reaction occurs between potassium iodide and lead (II) nitrate to yield potassium nitrate and lead (II) iodide which is clearly not balanced since we have one iodine atom on the reactants and two on the products, that is why the balance implies the placement of a coefficient of 2 in front of both KI and KNO3 as shown below:
[tex]2KI +Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow 2KNO_3 + Pbl_2[/tex]
Thus, we infer this is a double replacement reaction due to the exchange of both cations, K and Pb with both anions, I and NO3. Moreover, we can tell this balanced reaction is in agreement with the law of conservation of mass because we have two potassium atoms, two iodine atoms, one lead atom, two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms on both sides of the chemical equation (count them).
