Answer:

<u><em>This answer assumes that the strated "16.0g of iron" was meant to be 16.0 grams of iron(III) oxide.</em></u>

Explanation:

To start, the thermite equation must be balanced.

I find:

1Fe2O3 + 2Al = 1Al2O3 + 2Fe

This tells us we need 2 moles of Al for every 1 mole of Fe2O3.  

Now calculate the moles of each reactant:

Moles Fe2O3:  16.0 g/159.7 g/mole = <u>0.100 moles Fe2O3</u>

Moles Al:  8.1 /26.98 g/mole = <u>0.300 moles Al</u>

The balanced equation says that in order to react all of the Fe2O3 we'd need twice that amount (in moles) of the Al.  (0.100 moles Fe2O3)*(2) = 0.200 moles Al.

<u>Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent?</u>

We have more than enough moles of Al to react with 0.10 moles of Fe2O3.  (We have 0.300 moles Al and all we need is 0.200 moles to react with the 0.10 moles of Fe2O3.  <em>Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent.</em>

<u><em>Calculate the maximum mass of iron of iron that could be formed using these quantities of reactants.</em></u>

The balanced equation tells us that we will obtain 2 moles of Fe for every 1 mole of Fe2O3 consumed.  Since Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent, we will assume that it completely reacts.  That means 0.1 moles of Fe2O3 is reacted.  Since we expect twice that many moles of Fe, we should obtain 0.200 moles of Fe.  At 55.85 g/mole, we should obtain:

(0.200 moles Fe)*(55.85 g Fe/mole Fe) = 11.2 grams Fe

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

Compare What do infrared technologies, fiber optic
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

ptic fiber communication and satellite communication are the leading technologies which are revolutionizing the world of telecommunications. Both technologies have their advantages and limitations which make them suitable for certain type of applications. This article will provide an overview of optic fiber and satellite communication technologies and present a comparison of the features and related issues.

Optic Fiber Communication

Optic Fiber communication transmits information by sending pulses of light (using laser) through an optic fiber. The low signal loss in optic fibers and high data rate of transmission systems, allow signals with high data rates (exceeding several Gbps) to travel over long distances (more than 100 km) without a need of repeater or amplifier. Moreover, using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) allows a single fiber to carry multiple signals (upto 10 different signals) of multi-Gbps transmissions. Optic Fiber communication offers extremely high bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, non-existent delays and immunity from interception by external means. In the 1980s and 1990s, the continents were linked together using undersea optic fiber bringing about a paradigm shift in the global telecommunications.

These advancements in optic fiber communication has resulted in decrease of satellite communications for several types of communications. For instance, transmission between fixed locations or point-to-point communications, where large bandwidths are required (such as transoceanic telephone systems) are made through optic fiber instead of using satellite communication. Optic Fiber communication is also used to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, LAN (Gigabit LAN) and cable television signals.

Satellite Communication

Satellite communications use artificial satellites as relays between a transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth. Satellite systems allow users to bypass typical carrier offices and to broadcast information to multiple locations. Communications satellites are used for radio, TV, telephone, Internet, military and other applications. There are more than 2,000 satellites around Earth’s orbit, being used for communication by both government and private organizations.

Communication Satellites are LOS (line-of-sight) microwave systems with a repeater. These satellites rotate around the earth with the speed of earth and are known as geostationary satellites. The limitations of antenna size also limits focusing capability making the coverage for a single satellite transmitter very large. This makes satellite communication ideal for TV and radio services as the signal has to flow from a single point to many points in a single direction. The large distance of satellites from the earth (about 22,300 miles) results in delays which adversely effects two-way communication like mobile conversations. Low earth orbit satellites can be used for two-way mobile communication because less power is required to reach those satellites.

Two objects are brought into contact Object 1 has mass 0.76 kg, specific heat capacity 0.87) g'c and initial temperature 52.2 'C
taurus [48]

Answer:

T_F=77.4\°C

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible to set up the following energy equation for both objects 1 and 2:

Q_1=-Q_2

In terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change is:

m_1C_1(T_F-T_1)=-m_2C_2(T_F-T_2)

Now, solve for the final temperature, as follows:

T_F=\frac{m_1C_1T_1+m_2C_2T_2}{m_1C_1+m_2C_2}

Then, plug in the masses, specific heat and temperatures to obtain:

T_F=\frac{760g*0.87\frac{J}{g\°C} *52.2\°C+70.7g*3.071\frac{J}{g\°C}*154\°C}{760g*0.87\frac{J}{g\°C} +70.7g*3.071\frac{J}{g\°C}} \\\\T_F=77.4\°C

Yet, the values do not seem to have been given correctly in the problem, so it'll be convenient for you to recheck them.

Regards!
