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.

Calculate the number of molecules in a deep breath of air whose volume is 2.15 L at body temperature, 37 ∘C, and a pressure of 7
Zinaida [17]
PV = nRT 
R = 0.0821 L * atm / mol * K 
(ideal gas constant) 

First, convert 735 torr to atm. Divide by 760. 
(1 atm = 760 torr) 

735 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 0.967 atm 
Then, convert 37 C to Kelvin. Just add 273. 
37 C = 310K 

n = PV / RT 
= (0.967)(2.07) / (0.0821)(310) 
= 0.0786 mol 

<span>0.0786 mol * 6.02 * 10^23 molecules / 1 mol = 4.73 * 10^22 molecules </span>

Determine which law is appropriate for solving the following problem. Carbon dioxide is in a steel tank at 20°C, 10 liters and 1
patriot [66]

<u>Answer:</u>

Law used: Combined Gas Law

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the following problem:

Carbon dioxide is in a steel tank at 20°C, 10 liters and 1 atm. What is the pressure on the gas when the tank is heated to 100°C?

To solve this, the most appropriate law that can be used it Combined Gas Law, which is the result of combining the Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Gay-Lussac's law together.

There is a gas pressure in a container that is 123kPa what is the pressure in atmospheres ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

In strict SI units (highly recommended), express n in moles, R is the universal gas constant R=8.314Jmol−K , T is the temperature in Kelvins, and the volume V is in m3 . The resulting pressure P will be in Pa. R=0.082054L−atmmol−K , in which case the pressure is calculated in atm.
