<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

How is the Crystal lattice of an ionic compound different from the Crystal formation of a metallic compound
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation: For most longer adjectives, the comparative is made by adding the word "more" (for example, more comfortable) and the superlative is made by adding the word "most" (for example, most comfortable). If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "e", the endings are "-r" and "-st", for example: wise, wiser, wisest.

Why does hot water freeze faster than cold water?
weeeeeb [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Temperature dependency is responsible for the process that hot water freeze faster than cold water.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The effect given above is called Mpemba Effect. According to this idea hot water freezes more quickly as compared to cold water. But until now there is no convincing explanation for this strange phenomenon.  One idea is that hot containers make better thermal contact with a refrigerator and so conduct heat more efficiently because a good conductor is good fro the transfer of heat. Another idea about this effect is that warm water evaporates more quickly and since this is an endothermic process, it cools the water making it freeze more quickly.
