Write the balanced symbol equation for the electrolysis of aluminium oxide to produce aluminium, and the reduction of iron oxide with carbon to produce iron.


Then use that to calculate the atom economy for each.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrolysis of Al₂O₃: 4Al³⁺ (s) + 6O²⁺ (g) → 4Al (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Reduction of Elemental Fe: 2Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C (s) → 4Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

Atom Economy for Electrolysis of Al₂O₃: 52.9227%

Atom Economy for Reduction of Fe₂O₃: 62.8534%

Explanation:

Step 1: Define Compounds

Aluminum Oxide - Al₂O₃

Iron Oxide - Fe₂O₃

Step 2: RxN

Al₂O₃ (s) → Al (s) + O₂ (g)

Fe₂O₃ (s) + C (s) → Fe (s) + CO₂ (g)

Step 3: Balance RxN

2Al₂O₃ (s) → 4Al (s) + 3O₂ (g)

We need the same number of O on both sides (6 is the LCM)We will also need to balance the number of Al on both sides due to the change of O (4 reactant/product)

This is ONLY the decomposition reaction for Aluminum oxide, NOT the electrolysis.

2Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C (s) → 4Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

We need the same number of O on both sides (6 is the LCM)We will also need to balance the number of Fe on both sides due to the change of O (4 reactant/product)We will also need to balance the number of C on both sides due to the change of O (3 reactant/product)

This is the final single-replacement reaction for the reduction of Iron Oxide to Iron.

Step 4: Electrolysis of Al₂O₃

We will have to use oxidation-reduction reactions (half-reactions). Let's break up the reaction into it's elements.

Al³⁺ + ? → Al

To make the ion Al³⁺ turn into its neutral atom, we will need to add 3e⁻ to balance the half reaction

Al³⁺ + 3e⁻ → Al

O²⁻ → O₂ + ?

Oxygen is a diatomic element, and in it's natural state is bonded to itself. We need to balance the half reaction

2O²⁻ → O₂ + ?

We need to figure out how much electrons the ion O²⁻ loses to turn into its neutral atom. We see that we will need to lose 4e⁻

2O²⁻ → O₂ + 4e⁻

Our half reactions:

Al³⁺ + 3e⁻ → Al

2O²⁻ → O₂ + 4e⁻

We now need balance the entire half reaction. Our LCM is 12

4 (Al³⁺ + 3e⁻ → Al) = 4Al³⁺ + 12e⁻ → 4Al

3 (2O²⁻ → O₂ + 4e⁻) = 6O²⁻ → 3O₂ + 12e⁻

Add the 2 half reactions

4Al³⁺ + 12e⁻ + 6O²⁺ → 4Al + 3O₂ + 12e⁻

Cancel out spectator ions/e⁻ to get our final half reaction

4Al³⁺ (s) + 6O²⁺ (g) → 4Al (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Step 5: Atom Economy

According to GCSE and my own deciphering, your equation for Atom Economy is essentially calculating for something similar to percent yield (but not quite).

[tex]Atom \hspace{3} Economy \hspace{3} = \hspace{3} \frac{Molar \hspace{3} Mass \hspace{3} of \hspace{3} Product}{Molar \hspace{3} Mass \hspace{3} of \hspace{3} All \hspace{3} Reactants} \cdot 100 \%[/tex]

4Al³⁺ (s) + 6O²⁺ (g) → 4Al (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Molar Mass of Al - 26.98 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Reactants: 4(26.98 g/mol) + 6(16.00 g/mol) = 203.92 g/mol

Products (Al as end product): 4(26.98 g/mol) = 107.92 g/mol

[tex]Atom \hspace{3} Economy \hspace{3} = \hspace{3} \frac{107.92 \hspace{3} g/mol}{203.92 \hspace{3} g/mol} \cdot 100 \%=52.9227 \%[/tex]

2Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3C (s) → 4Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

Molar Mass of Fe - 55.85 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Reactants: 4(55.85 g/mol) + 6(16.00 g/mol) + 3(12.01 g/mol) = 355.43 g/mol

Products (Fe as end product): 4(55.85 g/mol) = 223.4 g/mol

[tex]Atom \hspace{3} Economy \hspace{3} = \hspace{3} \frac{223.4 \hspace{3} g/mol}{355.43 \hspace{3} g/mol} \cdot 100 \%=62.8534\%[/tex]

Step 6: Check for significant figures

Since we are not given any values, we don't really need to change any numbers to fit sig fig rules.

Answers

A chemical property of isopropanol : D. Isopropanol is flammable.

Further explanation

There are changes that occur in the mater: physical changes and chemical changes

Classification uses the principle of the initial and final state of the substance.

Physical changes do not form new substances, so the properties of the particles remain the same.(size,volume,shape)

Example : boiling and freezing, just change its phase form from liquid to gas or from liquid to solid

 

Chemical changes/reaction form new substances(products) that are different from the initial substances(reactants)

Example : toxic, corroded

So :

Answer:

D. Isopropanol is flammable.

Explanation:

Mass, volume, temperature, phase of matter, color, texture, density, and hardness are all examples of physical properties. However, flammability is an example of a chemical property.

Chemical properties describe an object's potential to change its chemical composition. These properties depend on the types of atoms found in the object and the arrangement of those atoms (and their subatomic particles).

The density of a pure liquid at 25 degrees Celsius was calculated by determining the mass and volume of a sample of the liquid. A student measured the mass of a clean, dry 25.00 mL volumetric flask, filled the flask to its calibration mark with the liquid, and then measured the mass of the flask and liquid. The recorded measurements are shown in the table above. On the basis of this information, to how many significant figures should the density of the liquid be reported?

Answers

Answer

The density of the liquid is 0.82 g/mL.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of empty flask = 18.990 g

Mass of flask + liquid = 39.439 g

Volume of liquid = 25 mL

Density of liquid =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the liquid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of empty flask = 18.990 g

Mass of flask + liquid = 39.439 g

Mass of liquid =.?

Mass of liquid = (Mass of flask + liquid) – (Mass of empty flask)

Mass of liquid = 39.439 – 18.990

Mass of liquid = 20.503 g

Finally, we shall determine the density of the liquid as follow:

Mass of liquid = 20.503 g

Volume of liquid = 25 mL

Density of liquid =..?

Density = mass / volume

Density of liquid = 20.503 / 25

Density of liquid = 0.82 g/mL

Answers

Answer:

2.5 × 102 meters

Explanation:

Wavelength, which is denoted by λ, can be calculated using the formula:

λ = v/f

Where λ = wavelength (m)

v = speed of light (3×10^8m/s)

f = frequency (Hz)

According to the given information I n the question, f = 1.2 × 10^6 Hz, v = 3×10^8m/s

Hence;

λ = v/f

λ = 3 × 10^8 ÷ 1.2 × 106

λ = 3/1.2 × 10^ (8-6)

λ = 2.5 × 10^2

Therefore, the wavelength of the radio wave is 2.5 × 10^2 meters

Answer in units of J/g. ° C

Answers

Answer:

1.586 J/g°C

Explanation:

So, we have the formula [tex]q = mc\Delta t[/tex].

Since heat released by the metal is = to the heat absorbed by the water (because they eventually become the same temperature in solution), we can say

[tex]m_{water}C_{water}(T_{water}-T_f) = - m_{metal}C_{metal}(T_{metal} - T_f)[/tex]

Plugging in, we get:

[tex]59.2*4.184*(21- 34.9) = - 27*C_{metal}*(93 - 34.9)[/tex]

Solving, we get [tex]C_{metal} = 1.586[/tex] J/g°C.

You are using a calorimeter to calculate the specific heat capacity of a metallic ore. The calorimeter contains 0.50 kilograms of water at room temperature (22 °C). We heat the ore in boiling water and then drop the metal into the calorimeter and wait for the water and metal to reach the same temperature. The mass of the ore is 3.5 kilograms. We find that the water has increased in temperature to 24.3 °C. Recall that the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g–°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the ore.

Answers

the specific heat capacity of the ore : 0.018 J/g°C  Further explanation

In the calorimeter, the heat received is the same as the heat released  

Q abs = Q release

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Q released by a metallic ore and absorbed by water at calorimeter

Q ore = Q water

Q water

m = 0.5 kg = 500 g

c = 4.18 J/g–°C.

Δt = 24.3 - 22 = 2.3

[tex]\tt Q=m.c.\Delta t\\\\Q=500\times 4.18\times 2.3=4807~J[/tex]

the specific heat capacity of the ore.

Q ore = Q water = 4807 J

m ore = 3.5 kg = 3500 g

Δt = 100 - 24.3 = 75.7

[tex]\tt 4807=3500\times c\times 75.7\\\\c=0.018~J/g^oC[/tex]

I hope this helps!  Have a blessed day! :)

When boiling a pot of water on the stove without a lid on the pot, the energy and water molecules are free to escape into the surrounding environment.

What is boiling?

Boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the substance changes from liquid state to gaseous state where these two systems comes in equilibrium.

Thus when a liquid is boiled, the liquid molecules get more energy to move apart and they escape into gaseous state. With change in state of the substance, the energy also be transferred from the liquid to the environment.

If the pot is closed with a lid, then both energy can be transferred but molecules get trapped inside. But here the pot is open and thus the gas molecules and energy are free to move outside.

Therefore, option A is correct for the boiling of water in an open pot.
