Consider the reaction between iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3 and carbon monoxide, CO.

1 answer:

3 0

Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2

m(Fe2O3)=213 g
m(CO)=140 g
_______________

n(Fe2O3)=?
m(Fe)=?
n(Fe2O3)=?
n(CO)=?
n(CO2)=?

n(Fe2O3)=m(Fe2O3) / M(Fe2O3)
n(Fe2O3)= 213 g / 159,7 gmol-1 = 1,33 mol

n(CO)= m(CO) / M(CO) n(CO)= 140 g / 28,01 gmol-1 = 4,99 mol

Given 3.4 grams of x compound with a molar mass of 85 g and 4.2 grams of y compound with a molar mass of 48 g How much of compou

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$4.36~g~XY$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the reaction:

$2X + Y_2~->~2XY$

If we check the reaction, we will have 2 X and Y atoms on both sides. So, the reaction is balanced. Now, the problem give to us two amounts of reagents. Therefore, we have to find the limiting reagent. The first step then is to find the moles of each compound using the molar mass:

$3.4~g~X\frac{1~mol~X}{85~g~X}=0.04~mol~X$

$4.2~g~Y_2\frac{1~mol~Y_2}{48~g~Y_2}=0.0875~mol~Y_2$

Now, we can divide by the coefficient of each compound (given by the balanced reaction):

$\frac{0.04~mol~X}{1}=~0.04$

$\frac{0.0875~mol~Y_2}{2}=0.04375$

The smallest value is for "X", therefore this is our limiting reagent. Now, if we use the molar ratio between "X" and "XY" we can calculate the moles of XY, so:

$0.04~mol~X\frac{2~mol~XY}{2~mol~X}=0.04~mol~XY$

Finally, with the molar mass of "XY" we can calculate the grams. Now, we know that 1 mol X = 85 g X and 1 mol $Y_2$ = 48 g $Y_2$ (therefore 1 mol Y = 24 g Y). With this in mind the molar mass of XY would be 85+24 = 109 g/mol. With this in mind:

$0.04~mol~XY\frac{109~g~XY}{1~mol~XY}=4.36~g~XY$

I hope it helps!

Does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy just before it hits the ground? Why?

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Equal

Explanation:

When the bowling ball is first dropped, it has a maximum potential energy but minimum kinetic energy. The height is max, so the potential energy will be greatest. Velocity is 0, so kinetic energy will be 0.

9. How many moles are in 6.022 x 1024 atoms of oxygen?

ra1l [238]

Answer:

1 mole

Explanation:

The mole (mol) is the amount of a substance that contains the same number of entities as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12. One mole (1 mol) contains 6.022x1023 entities (to four significant figures).
