Answer:

Explanation:

The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.

Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.

Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.

The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.

Which is the limiting reagent in the following reaction given that you start with 15.5 g of Na2S and 12.1 g CuSO4? Reaction: Na2

NemiM [27]

Answer:

CuSO4

Explanation:

Na2S + CuSO4 → Na2SO4 + CuS

The reaction is balanced (same number of elements in each side)

To determine limiting reagent you need to know the moles you have of each.

Molar mass Na2S = 23 * 2 + 32 = 78

Molar mass CuSO4 = 63.5 + 32 + 16 * 4 = 159.5

Na2S mole = 15.5 / 78 = 0.2

CuSO4 mole = 12.1/159.5 = 0.076

*Remember mole = mass / MM

With that information now you have to divide each moles by its respective stoichiometric coefficient

Na2S stoichiometric coefficient : 1

Na2S : 0.2 / 1 = 0.2

CuSO4 stoichiometric coefficient: 1

CuSO4: 0.076 / 1 = 0.076

The smaller number between them its the limiting reagent, CuSO4

Chlorine is a halogen and has 7 valence electrons, which is represented by crosses on the left

makkiz [27]

There are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.

Chlorine is the second member of the halogen group which are form of family of elements that resemble one another very closely.

The electronic configuration of chlorine shows the arrangement of chlorine electrons within it's atom.

At the outer most shell of the atom is seven electrons, therefore requires only one electron each to attain the octet arrangement.

The overlapping of the orbitals indicates the chemical bond formed by sharing of electrons between atoms called covalent bonding.

To complete it's outer most shell, it will need to share electron with another chlorine atom.

Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.

One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, in which iron ore is converted to cast iron, is Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 Su

Tpy6a [65]

Answer : The percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample is 87.94 %

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

$Fe_2O3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2$

First we have to calculate the mass of Fe.

$\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe}{\text{Molar mass of }Fe}$

Molar mass of Fe = 55.8 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{1.79\times 10^3kg}{55.8g/mole}=\frac{1.79\times 10^3\times 1000g}{55.8g/mole}=3.15\times 10^4mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Fe_2O_3$

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of Fe produced from 1 mole of $Fe_2O_3$

So, $3.15\times 10^4mole$ of Fe produced from $\frac{3.15\times 10^4}{2}=15750$ mole of $Fe_2O_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $Fe_2O_3$

$\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{ Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3$

Molar mass of $Fe_2O_3$ = 159.69 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(15750moles)\times (159.69g/mole)=2.515\times 10^6g=2.515\times 10^3kg$

Now we have to calculate the percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample.

Mass of original sample = $2.86\times 10^3kg$

$\text{Percent purity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$

$\text{Percent purity}=\frac{2.515\times 10^3kg}{2.86\times 10^3kg}\times 100=87.94\%$

Therefore, the percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample is 87.94 %
