1) Chemical equation
16Fe(s) + 3S8(s) ---> 8Fe2S3
2) Molar ratios:
16 mol Fe : 3 mole S8 : 8 mol Fe2S3
3) Convert masses in grams to number of moles
number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
a) iron, Fe
mass = 3.0 g
atomic mass = 55.845 g/mol
=> number of moles of Fe = 3.0g / 55.845 g/mol = 0.0537 mol
b) Sulfur, S8
mass = 2.5 g
molar mass = 8*32.065 g/mol = 256.52 g/mol
=> number of moles of S8 = 2.5g / 256.52 g/mol = 0.009746 mol
4) Limiting reactant
Theoretical ratio actual ratio
16 mol Fe / 3 mol S8 0.0537 mol Fe / 0.009746 mol S8
5.33 5.50
So, there is a little bit more Fe than the theoretical needed to react all the S8, which means the S8 is the limiting reactant.
5) Calculate the number of moles of iron (III) produced with 2.5 g (0.009746 moles) of S8
3moles S8 / 8 moles Fe2S3 = 0.009746 moles S8 / x
=> x = 0.009746 * 8 / 3 moles Fe2S3 = 0.026 moles Fe2S3
6) Convert 0.026 moles Fe2S3 into grams
mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass
molar mass of Fe2S3 = 207.9 g/mol
mass = 0.026 mol * 207.9 g/mol = 5.40 g
7) Answer: option D)
Answer:
Element Symbol Atomic Mass # of Atoms Mass Percent
Chlorine Cl 35.453 2 29.670%
Calcium Ca 40.078 1 16.770%
Oxygen O 15.9994 8 53.559%
Explanation:
The two strands must be separated like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- A double helix structure formed by two polypeptide chains is separated like the two sides of a zipper. A zipper is formed by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. During replication, an enzyme "Helicase" travels down the DNA and splits the chain and it forms 2 separate strands.
- The two DNA strand which has the same sequence must be separated like the two sides of a zipper by breaking weak hydrogen bases. During base pair-rule, the strand are unzipped and each strands is copied.
Answer :By the time thermal equilibrium is attained in the system, ice is completely converted to water.
What is tehrmal equilibrium?
Thermal equilibrium is a situation in which two substances are exactly at the same temperature. That is. Heat is no longer flowing beween the bodies.
Recall that an insulated thermos flask implies that heat does not eneter or leave the system. Heat will flow from the water to the ice untill the both attains the same temperature and the ice is completely converted to water.
Have a good day
