Three common ores of iron are FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4. Iron ores are often reduced to elemental iron by heating in the presence of

carbon monoxide. These iron ores are all brittle and do not conduct electricity in their solid form.
a. Identify the oxidation number of the iron atoms in each of the three ores.

b. Choose one of the iron ores and write a balanced chemical equation to show its reduction reaction with carbon monoxide.

c. Considering the types of bonding involved, how and why do the properties of the ores differ from those of pure iron?

Carbon steel is an interstitial alloy of iron with a small amount of carbon which has greater strength and density than pure iron but maintains the metallic properties of iron.

d. Is the combination of iron with carbon to form steel a chemical or physical change? Explain your answer.

e. Draw a representation of the structure of this alloy.

f. As the percent carbon increases in steel, the ductility of the steel decreases. Explain why this might occur.

Answer:

Answers are explained below

Explanation:

(a)

Oxidation number of iron :

FeO = +2

Fe2O3= +3

Fe3O4 = +2 and +3 since Fe3O4 is the mixture of FeO and Fe2O3.

(b) FeO + CO ----> Fe (s) + CO2

(c) In a pure iron metallic bond is exist between the particles of Fe. But in the form of ore metals forms ionic bond with the non-metals.

Hence the properties vary.

Yes carbon steel has greater strength than that of pure iron but retains the property of iron because no chemical reaction occurs between carbon and iron.

d)

Mixing of carbon in iron is a type of physical change since there is no chemical reactions occur between the carbon and iron. Carbon atoms diffuses in the place between the iron atoms.

(f) One of the property of non-metals are brittleness. It is non ductile .

So when the percentage of carbon increases its atoms also occupying more and more free places.

And increasing the brittleness. So the iron becomes less ductile.

Calculate the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31. The mass of a phosphorus-31 nucleus is 30.973765 amu. The masses o
Nata [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.

The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:

\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M

where,

n_p = number of protons

m_p = mass of one proton

n_n = number of neutrons

m_n = mass of one neutron

M = mass number of element

We are given:

An isotope of phosphorus which is _{15}^{31}\textrm{P}

Number of protons = atomic number = 15

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16

Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=[(15\times 1.00728)+(16\times 1.00866)]-30.973765\\\\\Delta m=0.27399

Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

Which statement below about contrasting Hb and Mb is FALSE?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C. Hb binds O2 more tightly than Mb.

Explanation:

<u>Hb and Mb are both oxygen carrier protiens which contain the heme group. Hb has 4 heme units in 1 moleucle which work via coperative effect. On the other hand, Mb has only one heme unit. </u>

<u>From above theory, statement A and B are correct.</u>

<u>Although the heme group of the Mb is identical to those of Hb, Mb has a higher affinity for carrying oxygen than hemoglobin.</u>

<u>Hence, Statement C is wrong.</u>

Thats why the function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen and that of myoglobin is to store oxygen.

<u>When a curve is plotted between oxygen accepted and the pressure of the oxygen, Hb shows sigmoidal, whereas Mb shows hyperbolic oxygen saturation curves.</u><u> The statement D is correct.</u>

<u>Bohr effect and various factors decribe the statement : Hb-oxygen binding is dependent on physiological changes in pH, whereas Mb-oxygen binding is not. </u><u>The  statement E is also correct.</u>

At 63.5 C the vapor pressure of H2O is 175 torr and that of ethanol is 400 torr. A solution is made by adding equal masses of H2
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Moel fraction of ethanol in the solution = 0.28

Vapor pressure of the solution = 238 torr

Mole fraction of ethanol in the vapor = 0.47

Explanation:

Let's use 100 g of each substance as a calculus basis. Knowing that the molar mass of water is 18 g/mol and the molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol, the number of moles (n = mass/molar mass) of each one is:

nw = 100/18 = 5.56 mol

ne= 100/46 = 2.17 mol

The total number of moles is 7.73 mol, so the mole fraction of ethanol is

2.17/7.73 = 0.28

The mole fraction of water must be 0.72, so if we assume that the solution is ideal, by the Raoult's law, the solution vapor pressure is the sum of the multiplication of the mole fraction by the vapor pressure of each substance, thus:

P = 0.28*400 + 0.72*175

P = 238 torr

The partial pressure of each substance can be found by the multiplication of the molar fraction by the vapor pressure, thus:

Pw = 0.72*175 = 126 torr

Pe = 0.28*400 = 112 torr

To know the number of moles that is vaporized above the solution, we may use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P/n = RT/V

R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and V is the volume, so they are the same for both water and ethanol, thus

Pw/nw = Pe/ne

126/nw = 112/ne

ne = (112/126)*nw

ne = 0.89nw

So, the mole fraction of ethanol is:

ne/(ne + nw) = 0.89nw/(0.89nw + nw) = 0.89/1.89 = 0.47

Pick the correct products for the following reaction acid + metal reaction: 2 HNO3 + Co --&gt;
MrMuchimi

Answer:

2. Co(NO3)2 + H2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we are evidencing a simple displacement reaction wherein the cobalt is able displace the hydrogen to produce cobalt (II) nitrate and gaseous hydrogen as a result of cobalt's higher activity:

2 HNO_3 + Co\rightarrow Co(NO_3)_2+H_2

Therefore, answer is 2. Co(NO3)2 + H2.

Best regards.
