not always but I guess it could be heavier than iron if their was a lot more of it.
The amount of protons in the nucleus of an iron atom is greater than in that of an aluminum atom.
Greater in what way? They both have the same mass. Aluminium, being less dense will have a greater volume, but being more abundant will have a smaller value.
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than water
To determine the mass of aluminum that reacts to produce 1.00 g of iron, we first need to use the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between aluminum and iron oxide (usually represented as Fe₂O₃). The reaction typically follows this stoichiometry: 2Al + Fe₂O₃ → 2Fe + Al₂O₃. The molar mass of iron (Fe) is approximately 55.85 g/mol, so 1.00 g of iron corresponds to about 0.0179 mol. According to the stoichiometry, 2 moles of aluminum produce 2 moles of iron, meaning 0.0179 mol of iron requires 0.0179 mol of aluminum. The molar mass of aluminum (Al) is about 26.98 g/mol, which gives us a mass of approximately 0.482 g of aluminum that reacts to produce 1.00 g of iron.
If both balls have the same dimensions, then the bouyency, or upward thrust, will be the same. This is equal to the weight of water displaced (assuming the liquid is less dense than the aluminum and iron). Iron has a higher density than aluminum, so the iron ball will have a greater mass. It will therefore sink at a faster rate in the fluid as the aluminum ball.
Not necessarily. The mass of an object is determined by its volume and the density of the material it is made of. While iron is denser than aluminum, an object made of aluminum can still be more massive if it has a larger volume compared to an object made of iron.
To calculate the mass of aluminum (Al) needed to completely react with 135 g of iron, you first need to determine the molar ratio between them from the balanced chemical equation. The balanced equation for the reaction between aluminum and iron is 2Al + 3Fe2O3 -> 3Fe + Al2O3. From this ratio, you can calculate that 2 moles of aluminum (Al) react with 3 moles of iron (Fe). Next, calculate the molar mass of aluminum (Al) and use it to convert the given mass of iron to moles. Finally, use the molar ratio to find the mass of aluminum needed.
When a nail rusts, iron in the nail reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust), which has a greater mass than iron alone. As a result, the overall mass of the nail increases when it rusts because the mass of the iron in the nail combines with the mass of the oxygen in the air to form iron oxide.
1.0 gram of steel has a greater volume than 1.0 gram of aluminum. This is because steel has a higher density than aluminum, meaning it has more mass packed into a smaller volume.
Iron wrecking ball
The molar mass of aluminum is 26.98 g/mol, and the molar mass of iron is 55.85 g/mol. Using the balanced chemical equation for the reaction, you can calculate the mass of aluminum using stoichiometry to be approximately 0.605 g.
The given data (mass and volume) corresponds to aluminum, as the density of aluminum is approximately 2.7 g/ml, which results in a mass of 75g for a volume of 3.8 ml. Gold, iron, and plutonium have much higher densities compared to aluminum, so they would not have the same mass and volume measurements.
