Answer:

Option A. FeCl3

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Mass of the compound formed = 18g

From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The compound therefore contains:

Iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112

Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest

Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1

Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3

The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3

Moles of phosphorous in 15-35-15 fertilizer in 10g

guapka [62]

<span>The composition of a fertilizer is usually express in NPK number. NPK number is in terms of Percent by mass of the said element which are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. A 15-35-15 fertilizer has 15% Nitrogen, 35% Phosphorous, and 15% Potassium by mass. If you have 10 g of this fertilizer, to get the number of moles of phosphorus, you multiply the mass by 35%, which is equal to 10*0.35 or 3.5 g phosphorus. Then you divide the calculated mass of phosphorous by its molar mass which is 30.97 g/mol. Therefore, you have 3.5/30.97 which is equal to 0.1130 mol Phosphorus. This is the amount of Phosphorus in moles in the fertilizer.</span>

In the equation CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2 What is the mass of CO2 produced when 35g of O2 reacts?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

24.06 g of CO₂

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> 2H₂O + CO₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of O₂ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)

= 12 + 32

= 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 35 g of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of O₂ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 35 g of O₂ will react to produce = (35 × 44)/64 = 24.06 g of CO₂.

Thus, 24.06 g of CO₂ were produced from the reaction.

The Kp for the reaction below is 1.49 × 108 at 100.0°C:

Anna007 [38]

Kp= (COCl2)/[(CO)(Cl2)]= 1.49 x 10^8

1.49 x 10^8= (COCl2/((2.22x10-4)(2.22x10-4))

COCl2= 1.49x10^8 x ((2.22x10-4)(2.22x10-4))= 7.34 atm
