Answer:

2522g

Explanation:

8Fe + S8 —> 8FeS

From the question,

8moles of Fe required 1mole of S8.

Therefore, Xmol of Fe will require 5.65mol of S8 i.e

Xmol of Fe = 8 x 5.65 = 45.2moles

Now we need to covert 45.2moles to gram. This is illustrated below below:

Molar Mass of Fe = 55.8g/mol

Number of mole of Fe = 45.2moles

Mass of Fe =?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of Fe = 45.2 x 55.8

Mass of Fe = 2522g

Therefore, 2522g of Fe is needed for the reaction.

What is the molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution containing 2 moles of NaOH with a volume of .5L?

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

0.4M NaOH

Explanation:

Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration widely used defined as the ratio between moles of solute (In this case, NaOH) and volume of solution in liters.

As the solution contains 2 moles of NaOH-Moles of solute- in 5L of solution, the molarity is:

2 moles NaOH / 5L =

Suppose you were to quickly throw a ball in outer space. Would it slow down as quickly in space, as it does in Earth? Explain wh

Sholpan [36]

Answer:It would never stop until something hit the ball, to slow it down.

Explanation:

This is so because there is no gravitational pull in space.

In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation and classify its reaction type.

mihalych1998 [28]

Hey there!

C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

Put a coefficient of 2 in front of C₅H₅ on the left side because there is a subscript of 2 after C₅H₅ in parenthesis on the right.

2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

Fe (iron) is already balanced since there is one on each side, so we don't need to change anything for that.

This is a synthesis reaction because two reactants, C₅H₅ and Fe, are yielding a single product, Fe(C₅H₅)₂.

Hope this helps!

Briefly describe any example of an endothermic reaction and also mention the word equation

emmainna [20.7K]

Explanation:

$\huge{\underbrace{\overbrace{\mathfrak{\pink{Answer:}}}}}$

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. These reactions lower the temperature of their surrounding area, thereby creating a cooling effect. Physical processes can be endothermic as well – Ice cubes absorb heat energy from their surroundings and melt to form liquid water (no chemical bonds are broken or formed).

When a chemical bond is broken, it is usually accompanied by a release of energy. Similarly, the formation of chemical bonds requires an input of energy. The energy supplied/released can be of various forms (such as heat, light, and electricity). Endothermic reactions generally involve the formation of chemical bonds through the absorption of heat from the surroundings. On the other hand, exothermic reactions involve the release of heat energy generated from bond-breakage.

Endothermic Reaction Examples

Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), an important component in instant cold packs, dissociates into the ammonium cation (NH4+) and the nitrate anion (NO3–) when dissolved in water
