<u>Answer:</u> The mass of iron in the ore is 10.9 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of iron (III) oxide = 15.6 g

We know that:

Molar mass of Iron (III) oxide = 159.69 g/mol

Molar mass of iron atom = 55.85 g/mol

As, all the iron in the ore is converted to iron (III) oxide. So, the mass of iron in iron (III) oxide will be equal to the mass of iron present in the ore.

To calculate the mass of iron in given mass of iron (III) oxide, we apply unitary method:

In 159.69 g of iron (III) oxide, mass of iron present is (2\times 55.85)=111.7g

So, in 15.6 g of iron (III) oxide, mass of iron present will be = \frac{111.7g}{159.69g}\times 15.6g=10.9g

Hence, the mass of iron in the ore is 10.9 g

Answer:

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069  ≈ 3.87 kg

Explanation:

From the question the chemical reaction can be written as follow :

Fe2O3 + C → Fe + CO  

Balance the equation

Fe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO  

compute the molecular mass of Fe2O3 and atomic mass of Iron(Fe)

Molecular mass of Fe2O3 = 55.845(2) + 15.999(3) = 111.69 + 47.997 = 159.687 g

Atomic mass of iron = 55.845 g

From the balanced equation

159.687 g of Fe2O3  produces 2 ×  55.845 = 111.69 g of Fe(iron)

Convert the 5.53 kg to gram

1 kg = 1000 g

5.53 kg  = 5.53 × 1000 = 5530 g

since,

159.687 g of Fe2O3  produces 2 ×  55.845 = 111.69 g of Iron(Fe)

5530 g of  Fe2O3  will produce  

cross multiply

Mass of Fe produced =5530 × 111.69/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 617645.7

/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 3867.85211069  g

convert to kg

1000 g = 1 kg

3867.85211069   = 3867.85211069/1000

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069  ≈ 3.87 kg

#1. An element or ion that has lost two electrons must have a net charge of 2+, because it has two more protons than electrons, therefore the answer is Mg2+

#2. aluminum ions have an oxidation state of 3+ and fluoride has an oxidation state of 1-, therefore I’m order for the charges to cancel you need 3 fluoride ions.
Therefore, the answer is AlF3
