Answer:

16 moles

Explanation:

from the equation:

4Fe + 3O2 -----> Fe2O3

the mole ratio of Fe to O2 follows,

3 moles O2 reacts with 4 moles Fe.

therefore,

1 mole O2 reacts with 4/3 moles Fe

and 12 moles O2 reacts with (4/3) × 12 moles Fe = 16 moles

Answer:

9.0 moles of O2 and produce 6.0 moles of Fe2O3

Explanation:

Fe→Fe3++3e− iron. Is oxidised: it's losing electrons

O2+4e−→2O2− oxygen Is reduced, it's gaining electrons

Balance for the electrons.

The smallest common product of 3 and 4 Is 12.

So we get:

4Fe→4Fe3++12e−

3O2+12e−→6O2−

Adding:

4Fe+3O2+12e−→4Fe3++12e−+6O2−

The electrons balance so they cancel out:

4Fe+3O2→4Fe3++6O2−

Since Fe and O can combine in a ratio of 2:3

4Fe+3O2→4Fe3++6O2−→2Fe2O3

Extra :

Pure iron. won't rust, because the oxide layer would form a protective skin (as aluminium does). It needs some impurities (mainly carbon) and, apart from the oxygen, some moisture -- even carbondioxide 'helps'. In that case iron.-hydroxy-oxides and -carbonates are formed, and these flake, no longer protecting the iron. underneath.

Which of the following reasons best explains why it is possible to separate a 1:1 mixture of 1-chlorobutane and 1-butanol by fra

KatRina [158]

Answer:

The boiling point of 1-chlorobutane is substantially lower than that of 1-butanol

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is a separation process based on difference in boiling point of two compounds.

1-chlorobutane is a polar aprotic molecule due to presence of polar C-Cl bond. Hence dipole-dipole intermolecular force exists in 1-chlorobutane as a major force.

1-butanol is a polar protic molecule. Hence dipole-dipole force along with hydrogen bonding exist in 1-butanol.

Therefore intermolecular force is stronger in 1-butanol as compared to 1-chlorobutane.

So, boiling point of 1-butanol is much higher than 1-chlorobutane.

Hence mixture of 1-chlorobutane and 1-butanol can be separated by fractional distillation based on difference in boiling point.

So, option (D) is correct.

Ill give the brainliest answer to whoever helps me with this equation

vampirchik [111]

Answer: The percent yield for the $NaBr$ is, 86.7 %

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $FeBr_3$ = 2.36 mol

Moles of $NaBr$ = 6.14 mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $NaBr$

The balanced chemical equation is:

$2FeBr_3+3Na_2S\rightarrow Fe_2S_3+6NaBr$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $FeBr_3$ react to give 6 moles of $NaBr$

So, 2.36 moles of $FeBr_3$ react to give $\frac{6}{2}\times 2.36=7.08$ mole of $NaBr$

Now we have to calculate the percent yield for the $NaBr$ .

$\text{Percent yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 6.14 moles

Theoretical yield = 7.08 moles

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Percent yield}=\frac{6.14mol}{7.08mol}\times 100=86.7\%$

Therefore, the percent yield for the $NaBr$ is, 86.7 %

Some students were building models of solids, liquids, and gases by gluing plastic balls to a sheet of cardboard. which of their

JulsSmile [24]

Below picture contains the given models.

Answer:
Option-B is the correct model.

Explanation:
Solid is a state of matter in which the particles are closely packed, has definite volume and shape. Like liquids they don't flow, either they occupy the volume of container as that occupied by both gases and liquids. The inter-molecular forces between solid particles are very strong as compared to liquids ans gases. So, the model B has a particles very closely packed to each other.

What would happen if a hot piece of iron were placed in a bucket of water at room temperature? How do you know?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: Eventually, the metal will cool down and warm up. Overtime the metal and the water will come to the same temperature. This happens because the hot metal is giving energy to the water.

Explanation:This process is called thermal equilibrium. It's the same thing as when you put a spoon in hot tea the spoon gets hot and the tea cools down. Hope this helps!!
