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

In an estuary, _____.
lapo4ka [179]

B; Seawater mixes with freshwater so the water has intermediate salinity

Explanation:

In an estuary, seawater mixes with freshwater so the water has intermediate salinity. Estuaries are usually located in transitional environments.

  • Estuary is the wide part of a river where it nears the sea.
  • This is called a transitional zone.
  • Water from continental rivers usually fresh are brought in close contact with ocean water that is salty.
  • The water here is said to be brackish as it is intermediate between salt and seawater.
  • Organisms living in such terrain must be be well adapted to changing salinity.

Calculate the time it takes for an object moving with a speed of 13m/s to travel 50 m
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3.85 s</h3>

Explanation:

The time taken can be found by using the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

d is the distance covered

v is the velocity

From the question we have

t =  \frac{50}{13}  \\  = 3.846153...

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.85 s</h3>

Imagine you needed to identify if an object has undergone a physical change or a chemical change. What information would you nee
pishuonlain [190]
How it looks. basically the thing that tells you how it change. for example if an ice cube was melted (heat), it only changed physically not chemically as the h20 molecules are still there. however lets say you burn woos— you cant get that would back. its ash now and it has changed chemically.
