Answer:

45.95 grams of iron

Explanation:

The reaction between FeO and magnesium metal is

Fe^{II}O + Mg^{0} -> Fe^{0} + Mg^{II}O

1. The first step is verify that the equation is balanced. In this case it is balanced since the numbers of atoms of each element are equal in both sides of equation (for example we have 1 Fe atom in reactants and 1 Fe atom in products)

2. We need to calculate the limiting reactant

  • for that we need to calculate the number of moles of each reactant dividing the mass that we have by the respective molecular weight of the compound. moles FeO = \frac{80 g}{71.55 g/mol}=1.118 and moles Mg = \frac{20}{24.305} =0.823 the molecular weight of Mg (24.305) can be readed in the periodic table of elements.
  • so we divide the moles by stoichiometry number (number in front of each compound in the equation) in this case is 1 for both reactants (that is we need 1 mol of FeO and 1 mol of Mg to produce 1 mol of Fe).
  • The lower number obtained was 0.823 for Mg, so Mg is the limiting reactant.

3.  We calculate the moles and the mass of Fe produced.  The maximum number of moles of Fe that can be produced is given by the limit reactant. So we would use the moles of Mg to calculate the Fe produced.

  • We have 0.823 mol of Mg and the chemical equation shown above say that we need 1 mol of Mg to produce 1 mol of Fe, so with 0.823 mol of Mg we woud produce 0.823 mol of Fe (0.823 mol Mg *\frac{1 mol Fe}{1 mol Mg} = 0.823 mol Fe).
  • To convert from mol of Fe to grams of Fe we would multiply by the molecular weight of Fe 0.823mol*55.845 g/mol=45.95 g (molecular weight of Fe is readed in the periodic table of elements). So it is produced 45.95 g of iron

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following: The destruction of a marble statuary by acid rain: aqueous nitric acid r
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The coefficient in front of nitric acid is 2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).

The balanced chemical reaction is :

CaCO_3(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

True or false? During a change of state the temperature of the substance does not change.​
irakobra [83]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

the temperature of a substance can not remain constant as the substance changes from solid to liquid then finllay from liquid to gas. This is so because as a solid is heated it changes state and once it rechanges it boiling point it changes to gas or vapour.

sing any data you can find in the ALEKS Data resource, calculate the equilibrium constant K at 25.0°C for the following reaction
prisoha [69]

Answer:

2.76 × 10⁻¹¹  

Explanation:

I don’t have access to the ALEKS Data resource, so I used a different source. The number may be different from yours.

1. Calculate the free energy of formation of CCl₄

                         C(s)+ 2Cl₂(g)→ CCl₄(g)

ΔG°/ mol·L⁻¹:       0         0         -65.3

ΔᵣG° = ΔG°f(products) - ΔG°f(reactants) = -65.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

2. Calculate K

\text{The relationship between $\Delta G^{\circ}$ and K  is}\\\Delta G^{\circ} = -RT \ln K

T = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

\begin{array}{rcl}-65 300 & = & -8.314 \times 298.15 \ln K \\65300& = & 2479 \ln K\\26.34 & = & \ln K\\K& = & e^{26.34}\\&= & \mathbf{2.76 \times 10}^{\mathbf{11}}\\\end{array}
