<span>It describes the true ratio of atoms in a formula unit. An empirical formula is a formula that gives the proportions of the elements present in a certain compound however it does not give the actual numbers or the arrangement of the atoms.</span>

<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Empirical formulas, are the simplest types of chemical formulas that indicate the ratio of each element in the molecule.
  • <em><u>The empirical formula shows or describes the simplest whole number ratio of all the atoms present in a molecule.</u></em>
  • <em><u>For example the empirical formula of glucose is CH2O</u></em>,while the molecular formula is C6H12O6.
  • Empirical formula is converted to molecular formula by multiplying it with a whole number.

An important reaction that takes place in a blast furnace during the production of iron is the formation of iron metal and CO2 f
ladessa [460]

Answer: Mass of Fe_2O_3 required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

For iron:

Given mass of iron = 930 kg = 930000 g  (1kg=1000g)

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{930000g}{56g/mol}=16607mol

The chemical equation for the  production of iron  follows:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron are  produced by =  1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 16607 moles of iron will be produced by = \frac{1}{2}\times 16607=8303moles of Fe_2O_3

Now, calculating the mass of Fe_2O_3 from equation 1, we get:

Mass of Fe_2O_3 = moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=8303\times 160=1328480g=1328kg

Thus mass of Fe_2O_3 required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg

How many grams of HF are needed to react with 3.0 moles of Sn? *
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

120g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Sn + 2HF —> SnF2 + H2

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of HF needed to react with 3 moles of Sn.

From the balanced equation above, 1 mole of Sn reacted with 2 moles of HF.

Therefore, 3 moles of Sn will react with = 3 x 2 = 6 moles of HF.

Finally, we shall convert 6moles of HF to grams

This is illustrated below:

Number of mole of HF = 6moles

Molar Mass of HF = 1 + 19 = 20g/mol

Mass of HF =..?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of HF = 6 x 20

Mass of HF = 120g

Therefore, 120g of HF is needed to react with 3 moles of Sn
