How many grams of CO are needed with an excess of Fe2O3 to produce 35.0 g Fe?

Carbon ii oxide (CO) acts as a reducing agent such that it reduces oxides of less reactive metals in the reactivity series such as lead, copper and zinc.
Therefore a reaction between carbon ii oxide and iron ii oxide will be;
Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO (g) = 3CO2 (g) + 2Fe (s)
 The mass of 35 g of Fe contains  0.625 moles  ( 35 g ÷56 g)
Using the mole ratio of CO : Fe which is 3:2 , we can get the number of mole of CO needed,
 That is 0.625 × 3/ 2 = 0.9375 moles
Therefore, 0.9375 moles are required, but 1 mole of CO = 28 g,
the mass of CO required will therefore be 0.9375 × 28 = 26.25 g
thus 26.25 g of CO are needed

Answer:

See detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

i. In this case, since the given chemical reaction is exothermic due to the negative change in the enthalpy of reaction, we infer that according to the mentioned principle, by lowering the temperature the reaction will shift rightwards and therefore the yield is increased; thus, you need a lower temperature than the specified.

ii. In this case, since the reaction has less moles at the products side, according to the mentioned principle it'd be necessary to rise the pressure in order to increase the yield, since the increase of pressure favors the reaction side with the fewest number of moles.

Best regards!

the formula of calcium oxide is CaO. What is the formula of the ionic compound containing calium abd sulfate ions
sineoko [7]

Answer:

CaS

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since calcium's oxidation state when forming ionic bonds is +2 and sulfur's oxidation state when bonding those bonds is -2, for the required formula we write:

Ca^{2+}S^{2-}

Now, since they have the same charge number, we infer the ionic compound formed when they bond is calcium sulfide:

CaS

Best regards!

Four conditions which cause a metathesis reaction to occur?
zubka84 [21]
Metathesis is a type of reaction in which the cations and anions exchange partners. this reaction is also called double replacement. Metathesis reactions are driven by the formation of a product .this reaction is classified into three different categories: formation of precipitate, f<span>ormation of a Weak or Non-electrolyte and production of the gas.</span>
