What is the percent of oxygen by mass in a pure sample of fecr2o4? 1. 52% 2. 13% 3. 37% 4. 7.1% 5. 29%?

1 answer:

6 0

Let us suppose that we have 1 mol of FeCr2O4. I'm going to use approximate masses because I have no idea what your periodic table will say. Just put in the exact masses from your periodic table.

Fe = 56
Cr*2 = 2*52 = 104
O4 = 4*16 = 64
===========
Total = 56 + 104 + 64 = 224
The % oxygen = (64 / 224) * 100 = 28.5 % but none of your answers match this. Perhaps you are talking about Fe2(Cr2O4)3 The brackets make all the difference in the world.

Without going through all the detail I did before, The molecular mass is
Fe * 2 = 112
Cr * 6 = 312
O * 12 = 192
The total molecular mass = 616

The % Oxygen = (192 / 616) * 100 = 31% roughly. That answer isn't there either.

Let's wait and see who else answers.

Briefly describe any example of an endothermic reaction and also mention the word equation

Explanation:

$\huge{\underbrace{\overbrace{\mathfrak{\pink{Answer:}}}}}$

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. These reactions lower the temperature of their surrounding area, thereby creating a cooling effect. Physical processes can be endothermic as well – Ice cubes absorb heat energy from their surroundings and melt to form liquid water (no chemical bonds are broken or formed).

When a chemical bond is broken, it is usually accompanied by a release of energy. Similarly, the formation of chemical bonds requires an input of energy. The energy supplied/released can be of various forms (such as heat, light, and electricity). Endothermic reactions generally involve the formation of chemical bonds through the absorption of heat from the surroundings. On the other hand, exothermic reactions involve the release of heat energy generated from bond-breakage.

Endothermic Reaction Examples

Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), an important component in instant cold packs, dissociates into the ammonium cation (NH4+) and the nitrate anion (NO3–) when dissolved in water
