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

How many atoms are in 1.6g C? Answer in units of atoms. <br><br> (no answer choices were given)
maksim [4K]

Answer:

6.022  ×10(index 23) / 7.5 = 0.8293 ×10(index 23)

Explanation:

molar mass of C =  12gmol

therefore in 12g of C there is one mole or an amount of 6.022 ×10(index 23)

∴12g/6.02210(index 23) ×1.6g

What is the configuration of all electron pairs arranged around oxygen in a water molecule?
Darina [25.2K]
I think the answer would be : Tetrahedral

Oxygen has 6 electrons and need 2 more electron to complete its octet.  In Tetrahedral, the electrons are arranged so it surround the oxygen and forming a 109 degree bond angel/

Is the law of conservative mass observed in this equation CaCO3 + 2HCI --&gt;CaCI2 +H2O + CO2
pychu [463]

Answer:

The law is observed in the given equation.

Explanation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCI → CaCI₂ +H₂O + CO₂

In order to find out if the law of conservative mass is followed, we need to <u>count how many atoms of each element are there in both sides of the equation</u>:

  • Ca ⇒ 1 on the left, 1 on the right.
  • C ⇒ 1 on the left, 1 on the right.
  • O ⇒ 3 on the left, 3 on the right.
  • H ⇒ 2 on the left, 2 on the right.
  • Cl ⇒ 2 on the left, 2 on the right.

As the numbers for all elements involved are the same, the law is observed in the given equation.

How to find hydrogen ion concentration from molarity of solution
vekshin1

The concentration of the hydrogen ions from molarity can be given with the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecular formula.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is given as the moles of the solute present in a liters of solution. The compound with the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecular formula with degradation possesses the equivalent concentration of the hydrogen ions.

The compound with molecular formula AH having molarity 2, will produce 2M of hydrogen ions.
