Answer:

2.75g

Explanation:

Firstly, we write a balanced equation of the reaction.

Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)-->2Fe(s)+3CO2(g).

Now, we write the formula for the percentage yield.

Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield * 100%

From the equation, we can see that we have one unknown

We convert the 5kg to g. It must be known that 5kg is 5000g as 1kg equals 1000g.

Now, we are asked to calculate the mass of the iron iii oxide required.

From the balanced equation we can see that 1 mole of iron trioxide yielded 2 moles of Fe.

Now, let’s calculate the mass required. We calculate the actual number of moles of iron produced. This is the mass of iron divided by the molar mass. The atomic mass of iron is 56 amu. The number of moles of iron produced is 5000/56 moles

Since the mole ratio is 1 to 2, the number of moles of iron trioxide thus used is 5000/56 divided by 2 which equals 5000/112 moles.

Now, we proceed to calculate the mass of iron trioxide used. The mass is equal the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles. The molar mass of iron trioxide is 2(56) + 3(16) = 112 + 48 = 160g/mol

The mass thus required to produce 5kg of iron is 5000/112 * 160 which is 3,500g or 3.5kg. We know this to be the theoretical mass, the actual mass is calculated using the formula given above.

78.5 = actual mass/3.5 * 100

Actual mass = (3.5 * 78.5) /100

= 2.75g

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚C inside a freezer for a night. When he took it out, its new volu
ad-work [718]

Initial volume of the balloon = V_{1}= 348 mL

Initial temperature of the balloon T_{1} = 25.0^{0}C + 273 = 298 K

Final volume of the balloon V_{2} = 322 mL

Final temperature of the balloon = T_{2} = ?

According to Charles law, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.

\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

On plugging in the values,

\frac{348mL}{298 K} =\frac{322 mL}{T_{2} }

T_{2} =276 K

Therefore, the temperature of the freezer is 276 K

Calculate the concentration in mol L^-1 of ammonium ions in a solution prepared by mixing 360 mL of 0.250 mol L^-1 ammonium sulf
Mnenie [13.5K]

In order to determine the concentration of ammonium ions in the solution prepared by mixing solutions of ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, and ammonium nitrate, first calculate the amount of ammonium ions for each solution.<span>

<span>For ammonium sulfate sol'n: 0.360 L x 0.250 mol(NH4)2SO4/ L x 2 mol NH4+ /1 mol(NH4)2SO4 = 0.18 mol NH4+
<span>For ammonium nitrate sol'n: 0.675 x 1.2 mol NH4NO3/L x 1 mol NH4+ /1 molNH4NO3 = 0.81 mol NH4+

Thus, the amount of NH4+ ions is (0.18 + 0.81) mol or 0.99 mol NH4+. To get the concentration, multiply this to the volume of solution which is assumed to be additive, such that:</span></span></span>

M NH4+ in sol’n = 0.99 mol NH4+/1.035 L = 0.9565 mol NH4+/ L sol’n

Limestone stalactites and stalagmites are formed in caves by the following reaction: Ca2 (aq) 2HCO−3(aq)→CaCO3(s) CO2(g) H2O(l)
Vesna [10]

Answer : The value of \Delta E for this reaction is 36.18 kJ

Explanation :

First law of thermodynamic : It states that the energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only change or transfer from one state to another state.

As per first law of thermodynamic,

\Delta E=q+w

where,

\Delta E = internal energy  of the system

q = heat added or rejected by the system

w = work done

As we are given that:

q = 38.65 kJ

w = -2.47 kJ (system work done on surrounding)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\Delta E=38.65kJ+(-2.47kJ)

\Delta E=36.18kJ

Therefore, the value of \Delta E for this reaction is 36.18 kJ
