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.

When doing a recrystallization what observations would prompt
Volgvan
<h2>Observation of purified crystals.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Recrystallization is the process in which a compound is dissolved in a hot solvent and then allowed to cool which forms the crystals.
  • It is a technique used for purification of solids.
  • Recrystallization mainly depends on the solubility of the solvent that means the solid should be soluble in the solvent when it is hot and should be insoluble in the same solvent when it is cool.
  • The observations while doing recrystallization is to observe the purified crystals obtained and to filter it out.

Is beeswax a mineral, a rock or neither
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Pretty sure its a mineral

Explanation:

Beeswax is a naturally occurring wax secreted mainly by honeybees A. mellifera, for constructing honey combs (Tulloch, 1970a). Unhydrolyzed beeswax consists of approximately 71% esters, 15% hydrocarbons, 8% free fatty acids, and 6% other components (Tulloch, 1970b).

Zn + 2 HCl --&gt; ZnCl2 + H2 How many moles of hydrochloric acid (HCl) are used (assume a complete reaction) if 8.3 moles of zin
uysha [10]

Answer:

E. 16.6 mol HCl

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is;

Zn + 2 HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2

From the reaction 2 moles of HCl produces 1 mole of ZnCl2

Therefore; 8.3 moles of ZnCl2 will be produced by;

  = 8.3 moles ×2

  = 16.6 Moles of HCl

  Therefore;  E.  16.6 mol HCl

Zn + 2HCI --&gt; ZnCl2 + H2
Elena-2011 [213]
Moles= mass\ relative formula mass(Ar)
moles of zinc= 7.9/30= 0.263
so we have 0.263 moles of zinc, and you need twice the amount of chlorine so therefore 0.526moles of chlorine= 0.526x 17=8.942g of chlorine
i cba to work the rest out but the most reasonable answer is 0.24 mol however if you need to use working outs, use the formula i provided earlier
