Answer:

1258 g HNO3

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the grams of Fe we have using the density and the volume given. For this, use the definition of density which is:

Density = mass / volume

So

Mass = Density x volume

For the statement, the volume of Fe will be:

Volume = (4.5 cm)(3.0 cm)(3.5 cm) = 47.2 cm^3

And as 1 cm^3 is equal to 1 mL, then:

Volume = 47.2 mL

So the mass of Fe we have is:

Mass = (7.87 g/mL)(47.2 mL) = 371.9 g Fe

To find the amount of nitic acid that reacts we need to work with moles, then:

Moles of Fe = 371.9gFe (\frac{1 mole Fe}{55.85 gFe})=6.658 moles Fe

And as the balanced reaction is  2Fe + 6HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3H2, then the moles of nitric acid that reacts with the given amount of iron is:

Moles of HNO3 = 6.658moleFe (\frac{6 moles HNO3}{2 moles Fe} )=19.97 moles HNO3

But they are asking for the grams that react, so we need the molecular mass of HNO3 to do the conversion

Molecular mass of HNO3 = 1.008 g H + 14.01 g N + 3(16.00 g O) = 63.02 g HNO3

Finally, the mass of HNO3 that reacts with the amount of iron given is:

mass HNO3 = 19.97molesHNO3 (\frac{63.02 g HNO3}{1 mole HNO3} ) = 1258 g HNO3

Balance the equation first: 

2 Fe+6 HNO3→2 Fe(NO3)3+3H2

Then calculate mass of Iron :

4.5×3.0×3.5 cm3(1 mL1 cm3)(7.87 g Fe1 ml)=371.86 g Fe

Now use Stoichiometry:

371.86 g Fe×(1 mol Fe55.85 g Fe)×(6 mol HNO32 mol Fe)=19.97 mol HNO3

Convert moles of nitric acid to grams

19.97 mol HNO3×(63.01 g HNO31 mol HNO3)=1258.3 g HNO3

How many milligrams of product can be produced from the complete Diels-Alder reaction of 180. mg of anthracene and 100. mg of ma
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: It will be produced 276,3 mg of product

Explanation: The reaction of anthracene (C14H10) and maleic anhydride (C4H2O3) produce a compound named 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic anhydride (C18H12O3), as described below:

C14H10 + C4H2O3 → C18H12O3

The reaction is already balanced, which means to produce 1 mol of C18H12O3 is necessary 1 mol of anthracene and 1 mol of maleic anhydride.

1 mol of C14H10 equals 178,23 g. As it is used 180 mg of that reagent, we have 0,001 mol of anthracene. With it, the reaction produces 0,001 mol of C18H12O3.

As 1 mol of C18H12O3 equals 276,3 g, the mass produced is 276,3 mg.
