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

1.Explore two more isotopes and how it is useful in our day to day life.
Daniel [21]

Answer: Isotopes are useful in particular scientific fields. Theoretical astrophysicists point out that several new particles lead to new knowledge.

Explanation:

  • When science reached the fact that chemical elements exist as a set of many different isotopes, it was the cornerstone in discovering the composition of atoms, but also the formation of modern knowledge about the understanding of chemical elements. The practical significance of the discovery above has importance in physics and physical and analytical chemistry. Also, thanks to isotopes, some diagnostic methods have been developed in specific sciences such as geology and archeology. By determining certain radioactive isotopes by means using these two sciences, it is possible to decide on the age of the individual samples.
  • Theoretical physics is a viral branch of science today. This is a relatively young scientific discipline, and one of the greatest minds in the history of Stephen Hawking belonged to this discipline. The development and study of the atomic structure are significant for this scientific discipline. Some scientists point out that a large number of particles will be experimentally discovered in the future, as the atom has been found. It will undoubtedly cause new knowledge and reach for humanity. Thus, throughout history, the development of experimental physics has revealed a large number of particles that, in addition to protons, neutrons, and electrons, are contained in atoms.

HC2H3O2 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇔ C2H3O2- (aq) + H3O+ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10-5
marin [14]

The concentration of [H3O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In general, the weak acid ionization reaction  

HA (aq) ---> H⁺ (aq) + A⁻ (aq)  

Ka's value  

\large {\boxed {\bold {Ka \: = \: \frac {[H ^ +] [A ^ -]} {[HA]}}}}

Reaction

HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇔  (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

\tt Ka=\dfrac{[C_2H_3O^{2-}[H_3O^+]]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}}\\\\1.8\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{0.22\times [H_3O^+]}{0.035}

[H₃O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M

A lake has been infected by some type of new algae that is unknown. Every single day the amount of surface area that the algae t
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

It takes 86 days take to cover half of the lake

Explanation:

In the day #1, the amount of the algae is X,

In the day #2 is 2X

In the day #3 is 2*2*X = X*2²

...

In the day #n the amount of the algae is X*2^(n-1)

Assuming X = 1m³. In the day 87, the area infected was:

1m³*2^(87-1)

7.74x10²⁵m³ is the total area of the lake

the half of this amount is 3.87x10²⁵m³

The time transcurred is:

3.87x10²⁵m³ = 1m³*2^(n-1)

Multiplying for 5 in each side:

ln (3.87x10²⁵) = ln (2^(n-1))

58.9175 = n-1 * 0.6931

85 = n-1

86 = n

<h3>It takes 86 days take to cover half of the lake</h3>
