What is the stoichiometry behind making aluminum oxide?

The stoichiometry for making aluminum oxide (Al2O3) involves the reaction between aluminum metal and oxygen gas. The balanced chemical equation is 4Al + 3O2 -> 2Al2O3, which means that 4 moles of aluminum react with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of aluminum oxide.

How do you solve mole to mole Stoichiometry problems?

To solve mole to mole stoichiometry problems, first write a balanced chemical equation. Convert the given amount of the starting substance (in moles) to moles of the desired substance using the mole ratio from the balanced equation. Finally, convert the moles of the desired substance to the desired unit, such as grams or volume, if necessary.

What is stoichiometry insufficient to determine rate of a reaction?

Stoichiometry provides information about the quantities of reactants and products in a reaction, but it does not provide information about the speed at which the reaction occurs. The rate of a reaction is influenced by factors like temperature, concentration, and presence of catalysts, which are not directly determined by stoichiometry. Therefore, additional experimental data and kinetic studies are needed to determine the rate of a reaction.

Why do you need to use moles to slove stoichiometry problems?

You don't need moles to solve stoichiometry problems. What you do need to do is to turn things (amounts) into the same nomenclature. If you want to turn grams into liters you need to go through several steps to get from grams to liters. For example if you have 20 grams of a substance and the atomic weight (from the periodic table) of one molecule of the substance is 40 grams, you need to convert to milligrams. 40 grams = 40,000 mg (1gm=1000mg). So divide 40,000mg by 40 gm. 20gm = 40,000 mg / 40 mg. The grams cancel each other out and you're left with 20 x 40,000 mg / 40. Now you need to get rid of the milligrams. 1 mg = 1 ml so continue with your problem by dividing 40,000 ml by 40,000 mg. Now the mg's cancel each other out and you have 20 x 40,000 x 40,000 ml divided by 40 x 40,000. Now turn ml into liters. 1000 ml = 1 liter so add to your equation 40,000 ml = 10 liters. The ml cancel each other out and you have: 20 x 40,000 x 40,000 x 10 divided by 40 x 40,000 x 40,000. The two 40,000's on top cancel out the two 40,000's on the bottom so you have 20 x 10 divided by 40 which = 200 divided by 40 which equals 5 liters. Divide by 5 and you get 1 liter. The trick is to draw a long line and put the multipliers on top and the divisors below with up and down lines between the sections. If there is something on top that is also on the bottom, they cancel each other out. That can be numbers or units of measurements. This method allows you to convert almost anything to anything else. All you have to know are the conversion numbers (like how many killograms = 1 pound). As you can see, you can even go from metric to US numbers and from solids to liquids. Good luck!

How many grams of 02(g) are needed to completely burn 23.7 g of C38H(g)?

The balanced equation is C3H8 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O

moles C3H8 = 23.7 g x 1 mol/44 g = 0.539 moles

moles O2 needed = 5 x 0.539 moles = 2.695 moles O2 (it takes 5 moles O2 per mole C3H8)

grams O2 needed = 2.695 moles x 32 g/mole = 86.2 grams O2 needed (3 sig figs)

How can stoichiometry be used in tandem with heats of formations to calculate the energy of a reaction?

Through the application of Hess's Law (of Constant Heat Summation) one can use heats of formation to find the overall energy release or requirement. The overall reaction energy is equal to the difference between total heats of formation of the products and the total heats of formation of the reactants.

Is pentanol man made or naturally made?

There are 8 different pentanols, (also called amyl alcohols), some of which, including pentan-1-ol, occur in fusel alcohol. Fusel alcohol is a by product of the fermentation process which produces ethanol. Thus at least some of the penanols are likely to occur in natural fermentation processes. Others are largely produced synthetically.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyl_alcohol

What is the equation of the decomposition of potassium manganate k2mno4?

At low pH value this decomposition takes place:

3 K2MnO4 + 2 H2O → 2 KMnO4 + MnO2 + 4 KOH

What are the two small particles that make up matter?

Actually there are 3 small particles that are normally listed: neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom and electrons that exist in "orbitals" tied to the nucleus.

How many grams of phosphorus are in 500 grams of calcium phosphate?

The mass of phosphorus of any sample of calcium phosphate is the mass of the same multiplied by the percentage that phosphorus makes up of that sample.

(mass of sample) x (mass of phosphorus/total mass)

Therefore we must look at the chemical formula of the substance in question: Ca3(PO4)2. From this we can see that there are 2 phosphorus atoms attributing mass to the total molecule. The formula becomes:

500 g x 2x30.97 g/mol/310.17 g/mol = 99.8 g

molar mass of phosphorus: 30.97 g/mol

molar mass of calcium phosphate: 310.17 g/mol

total mass: 500 g

How many grams of Cu(OH)2 can be produced from the reaction of 0.500g Cu with 30.0mL of 3.0M NaOH?

Cu + 2NaOH ---> Cu(OH)2 + 2NaSince we have a finite amount of two reactants we must first determine which is the limiting reactant.

For Cu: n= m/M = 0.500 g/63.53 g/mol = 7.87E-3 mol

For NaOH: n = CV = (3.0 mol/L)(0.0300 L) = 9.00E-2 mol

Copper is by far the limiting reactant therefore we will use its amount to find the maximum Cu(OH)2 that can be yielded from the reaction. Since the above reaction scheme indicates that Cu and Cu(OH)2 are in a 1 to 1 ratio, their molar amounts are the same ie. at the end of the reaction there will be 7.87E-3 mol of Cu(OH)2

To find the mass that corresponds to this molar amount we multiply by the molar mass of Cu(OH)2 (97.56 g/mol):

m=nM = (7.87E-3 mol)(97.56 g/mol) = 0.7678 g

Therefore 0.500 g of Cu will yield 0.768 g (3 sig fig) of Cu(OH)2.

How does Sherlock Holmes use stoichiometry?

This is one of my favourite quotes from the books, and it is in 'The Naval Treaty':

__"You come at a crisis, Watson," said he[Holmes]. "If this paper remains blue, all is well. If it turns red, it means a man's life." He dipped it into the test-tube, and it flushed at once into a dull, dirty crimson.

How do you get ions of Cu and Br in CuBr?

Cu donates electrons to Br to form CuBr. It is a crystalline compound. The bonds have mixed ionic and covalent characters.

What does stoichiometry use to relate moles to one molecule to moles of another?

Stoichiometry uses coefficient ratios to relate moles of one molecule to moles of another

What is the net ionic equation for iron metal oxidizes in air?

The net ionic equation for iron metal oxidizing in air is:

Fe(s) + O2(g) -> Fe2O3(s)

What volume (in mL) of 0.25M NaSO4 solution is needed to precipitate all the barium as BaSO4(s) from 12.5mL of 0.15M Ba(NO3)2 solution?

The chemical equation is:
Ba(NO3)2 + Na2SO4 = BaSO4 + 2 NaNO3
The volume (in mL) of 0,25M Na2SO4 solution needed to precipitate all the barium as BaSO4(s) from 12,5mL of 0,15M Ba(NO3)2 solution is 7,5 mL.

How do you solve stoichiometry questions?

To solve stoichiometry problems, follow these steps: 1. Write and balance the chemical equation, 2. Convert the given quantity to moles, 3. Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation to find the moles of the desired substance, 4. Convert the moles of the desired substance to the desired quantity. Remember to double-check your work and units throughout the process.

What type of stoichiometry defect is shown by KCl and why?

KCl shows Frenkel defect, where a cation is displaced from its lattice site into interstitial spaces. This occurs due to the large size difference between K+ and Cl- ions, making it easier for the smaller K+ ion to move into interstitial spaces without disturbing the overall charge balance of the crystal.

Why does carbon does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Carbon does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid because carbon is a non-metal and is relatively unreactive with acids. In this case, carbon is inert to the acid, meaning it does not undergo a chemical reaction with it.

How do you the stoichiometry problem 2 NaOH plus H2SO4---2 H2O plus Na2SO4how many grams of sodium sulfate will be formed if you start with 200 grams of sodium hydroxide and you have an excessofsulfur?

To solve this stoichiometry problem, first calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) present in 200 grams. Then, using the balanced equation, determine the moles of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) that will be formed. Finally, convert the moles of Na2SO4 to grams using the molar mass of sodium sulfate.
