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

If an atom has three shell and number of valence electrons are two. Is this element metal
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Metal

Element: Calcium

Valency: 2

Explanation:

To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)

We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.

Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right

We end up at Calcium.

Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.

Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
