Hello!

A) The balanced chemical reaction is

Fe₂O₃(s)+ 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

We can use the following conversion factor to go from kg of Fe₂O₃ to moles of CO, in the following way:

5kg Fe_2O_3* \frac{1000 g}{1 kg}* \frac{1 mol Fe_2O_3}{159,69 g Fe_2O_3}* \frac{3 mol CO}{1 mol Fe_2O_3} =93,93 moles CO

So, the required amount of CO is 93,93 moles.

B) To calculate the moles of each product we'll use the following conversion factors to go from moles of CO to moles of product, using the reaction coefficients:

93,93 moles CO* \frac{2 moles Fe}{3 moles CO}=62,62 moles Fe \\ \\ 93,93 moles CO* \frac{3 moles CO_2}{3 moles CO}=93,93 moles CO_2

So, the moles of Fe are 62,62 and the moles of CO₂ are 93,93.

Have a nice day!

The products of a chemical reaction have different properties than the reactants.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The products of a chemical reaction have different properties than the reactant because they underwent a chemical change by definition of a chemical reaction. The products are new combinations atoms forming different molecules.

Which of dalton's postulates about atoms are inconsistent with later observations? do these inconsistencies mean that dalton was
Neporo4naja [7]

1)  Dalton stated that atom is matter that can not be divided, but it is proved that the atom can be divided into subatomic particles  (electrons, protons and neutrons).

2) He stated that atoms of one element can not be changed into atoms of other  elements, but now that is possible by nuclear reactions.

Today we still use his postulate: Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form stable compounds, for example H₂O.

A sample of water contains 5.24x10^22 molecules. How many moles are in this sample?
Helga [31]

Answer:

0.087 moles of water

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of water = 5.24×10²² molecules

Number of moles of water = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

5.24×10²² molecules × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.87×10⁻¹ mol

0.087 mol

Avogadro number:

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.
