Explanation / Answer

1.

Consider the equation

2 AgNO3 + K2CrO4 ---> Ag2CrO4(s) + 2 KNO3(Aq) ....... (1)

2 mole of AgNO3 produces 1 mole of Ag2CrO4

Calculate moles of AgNO3 pressent available upon mixing 0.623 L of 1.345 M AgNO3 with 245 mL of 1.89 M K2CrO4

(Initial concentration of AgNO3) X (Initial volume in L) = (Final concentration of AgNO3) X (Final volume in L)

(1.345 M) X (0.623 L) =  (Final concentration of AgNO3) X (0.623 L of AgNO3 + 245 mL of K2CrO4)

Converting al volumes in Liters

(1.345 M) X (0.623 L) =  (Final concentration of AgNO3) X (0.623 L of AgNO3 + 0.245 L of K2CrO4)

(1.345 M) X (0.623 L) =  (Final concentration of AgNO3) X (0.868 L of total solution)

(Final concentration of AgNO3) = (1.345 M) X (0.623 L) /  (0.868 L of total solution)

(Final concentration of AgNO3) = 0.965 M of AgNO3

2 AgNO3 + K2CrO4 ---> Ag2CrO4(s) + 2 KNO3(Aq) --- 1

2 mole of AgNO3 produces 1 mole of Ag2CrO4

0.965 mole of AgNO3 will produce 0.965/2 mole of Ag2CrO4

0.965 mole of AgNO3 will produce 0.483 mole of Ag2CrO4

0.483 mole of Ag2CrO4 is converted to grams of Ag2CrO4 by multiplying with molecular weight of Ag2CrO4

Molecular weight of Ag2CrO4 = 331.7 g/mole

0.483 mole of Ag2CrO4 = (331.7 g/mole X  0.483 mole) of  Ag2CrO4

0.483 mole of Ag2CrO4 = 160.2 g of Ag2CrO4

Mass of Ag2CrO4 produced upon mixing 0.623 L of 1.345 M AgNO3 with 245 mL of 1.89 M K2CrO4 = 160.2 g

2.

Consider the equation

4 Al (s) + 3O2 ---> 2 Al2O3 (s)

4 mole of Al produces 2 mole of Al2O3

The yield of the reaction is 84.4 %

Therefore to get 18.2 Kg of Al2O3 total produce of Al2O3 = (18.2 Kg X 100) / 84.4

18.2 Kg of Al2O3 total produce of Al2O3 = 21.6 Kg

Calculate the mole of Al2O3 in 21.6 Kg of Al2O3

Molecular weight of Al2O3 = 101.96 g/mole

mole of Al2O3 in 21.6 Kg of Al2O3 = (21.6 Kg) / 101.96 g/mole

mole of Al2O3 in 21.6 Kg of Al2O3 = (21.6 X1000 g) / 101.96 g/mole

mole of Al2O3 in 21.6 Kg of Al2O3 = 211.85 mole of Al2O3

In the equation

4 Al (s) + 3O2 ---> 2 Al2O3 (s)

2 mole of Al2O3 (s) is produced from 4 mole of Al (s)

Therefore 211.85 mole of Al2O3 will be produced from 4/2 X 211.85 mole of Al (s)

211.85 mole of Al2O3 will be produced from 423.7 mole of Al (s)

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mole

Mass of Al in 423.7 mole of Al (s) = 26.98 g/mole X 423.7 mole of Al

Mass of Al in 423.7 mole of Al (s) = 11431.4 g of Al

Mass of Al in 423.7 mole of Al (s) = 11.4 Kg of Al

3.

Consider the equation

4 Al (s) + 3O2 ---> 2 Al2O3 (s)

Al2O3 (s) + 6NaOH (aq) + 12 HF (g) ---> 2 Na3AlF6 (s) + 9 H2O (l)

4 mole of Al produces 2 mole Na3AlF6

Calculate number of mole of Al in 2.6 mg of Al

Molecular weight of Al = 26.98 g/mole

Number of mole of Al in 2.6 mg of Al = 2.6 mg / (26.98 g/mole) of Al

Number of mole of Al in 2.6 mg of Al = 0.0026 g /  (26.98 g/mole) of Al

Number of mole of Al in 2.6 mg of Al = 9.6 X 10-5 mole of Al

In the equation

Consider the equation

4 Al (s) + 3O2 ---> 2 Al2O3 (s)

Al2O3 (s) + 6NaOH (aq) + 12 HF (g) ---> 2 Na3AlF6 (s) + 9 H2O (l)

4 mole of Al produces 2 mole Na3AlF6

Therefore

9.6 X 10-5 mole of Al will produce 2/4 X 9.6 X 10-5 mole of Na3AlF6

9.6 X 10-5 mole of Al will produce 4.8 X 10-5 mole of Na3AlF6

Calculate the mass of 4.8 X 10-5 mole of Na3AlF6

Molar mass of Na3AlF6 = 209.94 g/mole

Mass of 4.8 X 10-5 mole of Na3AlF6 = 4.8 X 10-5 mole X 209.94 g/mole Na3AlF6

Mass of 4.8 X 10-5 mole of Na3AlF6 = 0.01 g Na3AlF6

2.6 mg of Al will produce 0.01 g Na3AlF6

2.6 mg of Al will produce 10 mg of Na3AlF6
