1) Chemical equation

16Fe(s) + 3S8(s) ---> 8Fe2S3

2) Molar ratios:

16 mol Fe : 3 mole S8 : 8 mol Fe2S3

3) Convert masses in grams to number of moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

a) iron, Fe

mass = 3.0 g
atomic mass = 55.845 g/mol

=> number of moles of Fe = 3.0g / 55.845 g/mol = 0.0537 mol

b) Sulfur, S8

mass = 2.5 g
molar mass = 8*32.065 g/mol = 256.52 g/mol

=> number of moles of S8 = 2.5g / 256.52 g/mol = 0.009746 mol

4) Limiting reactant

Theoretical ratio                           actual ratio

16 mol Fe / 3 mol S8                 0.0537 mol Fe / 0.009746 mol S8

5.33                                               5.50

So, there is a little bit more Fe than the theoretical needed to react all the S8, which means the S8 is the limiting reactant.

5) Calculate the number of moles of iron (III) produced with 2.5 g (0.009746 moles) of S8

3moles S8 / 8 moles Fe2S3 = 0.009746 moles S8 / x

=> x = 0.009746 * 8 / 3 moles Fe2S3 = 0.026 moles Fe2S3

6) Convert 0.026 moles Fe2S3 into grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of Fe2S3 = 207.9 g/mol

mass = 0.026 mol * 207.9 g/mol = 5.40 g

7) Answer: option D)

1. How many molecules of S2 gas are in 756.2 L?
AfilCa [17]

Answer: There are 2.032 \times 10^{25} molecules S_{2} gas are in 756.2 L.

Explanation:

It is known that 1 mole of any gas equals 22.4 L at STP. Hence, number of  moles present in 756.2 L are calculated as follows.

Mole = \frac{Volume}{22.4 L}\\= \frac{756.2 L}{22.4 L}\\= 33.76 mol

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} molecules.

Therefore, molecules of S present in 33.76 moles are calculated as follows.

1 mol = 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\33.76 mol = 33.76 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 2.032 \times 10^{25}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 2.032 \times 10^{25} molecules S_{2} gas are in 756.2 L.

What is the law of conservation?
frez [133]

Answer:In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. Exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of electric charge. Wikipedia

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
ycow [4]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial position and can only vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, a solid has definite shape and volume. Solids cannot be compressed.

Whereas in plasma, molecules are hot ionized which include positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. They collide much more rapidly with each other and are widely spreaded out.

Therefore, they occupy the volume of container in which they are placed. Plasma can be compressed.

Thus, we can conclude that substance X is a solid and substance Y is a plasma.
