Blast furnaces extra pure iron from the Iron(IIl)oxide in iron ore in a two step sequence. In the first step, carbon and oxygen

react to form carbon monoxide:
2C(s)+O2(g) arrow 2CO(g)
In the second step, iron(lll) oxide and carbon monoxide react to form Iron and carbon dioxide:
Fe203(s) + 3CO(g) arrow 2Fe(s)+ 3CO2(g)
Suppose the yield of the first step is 71.% and the yield of the second step is 72.%. Calculate the mass of oxygen required to make 7.0 kg of iron.
Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and is rounded to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

5.9 kg  

Explanation:

We must work backwards from the second step to work out the mass of oxygen.

1. Second step

Mᵣ:                                     55.84

            Fe₂O₃ + 3CO  ⟶  2Fe  +  3CO₂

m/kg:                                    7.0

(a) Moles of Fe

\text{Moles of FeO} = \text{7000 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.84 g Fe}} = \text{125 mol Fe}

(b) Moles of CO

\text{Moles of CO} = \text{125 mol Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol CO}}{\text{2 mol Fe}} = \text{188 mol CO}

However, this is the theoretical yield.

The actual yield is 72. %.

We need more CO and Fe₂O₃ to get the theoretical yield of Fe.

(c) Percent yield

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent yield} &=& \dfrac{\text{ actual yield}}{\text{ theoretical yield}} \times 100 \, \%\\\\ 72. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.72 &= &\dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{0.72}\\& = & \textbf{261 mol}\\\\\end{array}

We must use 261 mol of CO to get 7.0 kg of Fe.

2. First step

Mᵣ:                32.00

            2C   +  O₂   ⟶  2CO

n/mol:                             261

(a) Moles of O₂

\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{261 mol CO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{2 mol CO}} = \text{131 mol O}_{2}

(b) Mass of O₂

\text{Mass of O}_{2}= \text{131 mol O }_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol  O}_{2}} = \text{4180 g O}_{2}

However, this is the theoretical yield.

The actual yield is 71. %.

We need more C and O₂ to get the theoretical yield of CO.

(c) Percent yield

\begin{array}{rcl}71. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.71 &= &\dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{0.71}\\\\& = & \text{5900 g}\\& = & \textbf{5.9 kg}\\\end{array}

We need 5.9 kg of O₂ to produce 7.0 kg of Fe.

How many liters of solution would it take to make a 0.250 M solution when you have 3.52 moles of solute?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The volume of solution in liters required to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute is 14.08 liters of solution

Explanation:

The question relates to the definition of the concentration of a solution which is the number of moles per liter (1 liter = 1 dm³) of solution

Therefore we have;

The concentration of the intended solution = 0.250 M

Therefore, the number of moles per liter of the required resolution = 0.250 moles

Therefore, the concentration of the required solution = 0.250 moles/liter

The volume in liters of the required solution that will have 3.52 moles of the solute is given as follows;

The required volume of solution = The number of moles of the solute/(The concentration of the solution)

∴ The required volume of solution = 3.52 moles/(0.250 moles/liter) = 14.08 liters

The required volume of solution to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute = 14.08 liters.

Therefore the number of liters required to make a 0.250 M solution from 3.52 moles of solute = 14.08 liters.

slamgirl [31]

Answer: You would need 1 mole of Fluorine

Explanation:The equation is already balanced so just looking at the coefficients in the equation we can see that Sodium Chloride (2NaCl) needs two moles for this equation and fluorine (F2) only needs one.
