Interpretation: The mass percentage of aluminum in the alloy should be found out if 0.3284 g of
Concept introduction:
Iron- aluminum alloys possess a property of getting magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field and to get demagnetized in its absence.
When metals above Hydrogen in the reactivity series are reacted with hydrochloric acid, it will result in the metal chloride with bubbles of hydrogen gas.
Answer to Problem 4.86PAE
Solution:
Percentage of aluminum in alloy = 12.6 %
.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Total mass of Alloy = 7.264 g
Total mass of
Aluminum and iron react with HCl as shown below.
Assuming that,
Mass of Aluminum = m g
Mass of Iron = 7.264 - m g
Stoichiometry of,
Al: H2 = 1: 3/2
Fe: H2 = 1: 1
Because of excess HCl, it is assumed that total alloy reacted.
Therefore,
According to given data,
Evolved H2(g) moles = 0.3284 g / 2 gmol-1
Stoichiometric
Mass percentage of a metal in an alloy can be found out when the total mass of alloy and the mass of hydrogen gas released out when the alloy is reacted with hydrochloric acid is known.

- Consider the reaction: CH 4( g) + 2O 2( g) → CO 2( g) + 2H 2O( g) Which of the following statements is correct? Oxygen is the reducing agent. The reaction is not an oxidation-reduction reaction. Oxygen is oxidized. Carbon is oxidized. Carbon is the oxidizing agent.arrow_forwardwhy are neutrons preferred to protons when preparing new isotopes of the lighter elements?If a salt bridge contains KNO3 as its electrolyte, which ions diffuse into solution in the cathode compartment of the galvanic cell? explain your answer.arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test. 4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals. Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.arrow_forward
