So that we have the right answer once we do the addition
Say that I measure my self at 12 feet with one measuring stick, and go on with another measuring stick that tells me I'm 3 meters tall, if I added those, I would be at something like 15/46 or something like that. See that would be wrong. We would want the right denominator so that it could be easier and also correct.

In the lab, you added an excess of acetic acid to drive the reaction forward, favoring products at equilibrium according to Le C
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Remove exess water

Explanation:

The reaction involved is an esterification reaction. Esterification is a reaction in which alcohol and carboxylic acid reacts to yield an ester and water. It is analogous to the inorganic neutralization reaction.

According to Le Chatelier's principle , one method of driving the equilibrium towards the forward reaction is by removal of one of the products. In this case, if water is removed, the forward reaction is favoured.

Consider the following reaction: 4Fe + 302 → 2Fe2O3. What mass of iron(III) oxide would
frutty [35]

Answer:

Mass = 357.7 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Fe =  250 g

Mass of oxygen = 120 g

Mass of iron(III) oxide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4Fe + 3O₂        →     2Fe₂O₃

Number of moles of Fe:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 250 g/ 55.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 4.48 mol

Number of moles of O₂ :

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 120 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of reactants with product.

        Fe          :          Fe₂O₃

        4            :             2

      4.48         :        2/4×4.48 = 2.24

        O₂          :          Fe₂O₃

        3            :             2

      3.75         :        2/3×3.75= 2.5

Less number of moles of Fe₂O₃ are produced by Fe thus it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of Fe₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.24 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 357.7 g

An alloy of bronze is manufactured by melting 51.2 g of copper with 6.84 g of tin. What is the percent copper in the bronze?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Percentage of copper = 88%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper = 51.2 g

Mass of tin = 6.84 g

Percentage of copper = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percentage of copper = mass of copper / total mass × 100

Now we will determine the total mass:

Total mass = mass of copper + mass of  tin

Total mass = 51.2 g + 6.84 g

Total mass = 58.04 g

Now we will calculate the percentage of copper.

Percentage of copper = 51.2 g / 58.04 g × 100

Percentage of copper = 0.88 × 100

Percentage of copper = 88%

Is condensation of ethanol a physical change or a chemical change
tigry1 [53]

Answer: Physical change

Explanation: Condensation is the phase change of a gas to the liquid state. There is no formation of new products so it does not undergoes chemical change. Any phase change is considered a physical change.
