How many moles of carbon dioxide, CO2, can be formed by the decomposition of 10 moles of aluminum carbonate, Al2(CO3)?

30 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Al₂(CO₃)₃ —> Al₂O₃ + 3CO₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Al₂(CO₃)₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of CO₂ produced from the decomposition of 10 moles of Al₂(CO₃)₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Al₂(CO₃)₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of CO₂.

Therefore, 10 moles of Al₂(CO₃)₃ will decompose to produce = 3 × 10 = 30 moles of CO₂.

Thus, 30 moles of CO₂ were obtained from the reaction.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
