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

1 answer:

7 0

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

What is the concentration (M) of sodium ions in 4.57 L of a 0.398 M Na3PO4 solution?

____ [38]

0.398=mol/4.57L. mol= 1.818. 1.818*3=5.456. 5.456/(4.57L)=1.19 M

2-naphthol, based on its structure will be least soluble in water.

2-Naphthol, or β-naphthol, is a fluorescent, colorless (or occasionally yellow) crystalline solid with the formula C10H7OH. It is an isomer of 1-naphthol, differing by the location of the hydroxyl group on the naphthalene ring. The naphthols are naphthalene homologues of phenol, but more reactive. Both isomers are soluble in simple alcohols, ethers, and chloroform. 2-Naphthol is a widely used intermediate for the production of dyes and other compounds.

Which of the following effect increases the solubility of Ca(OH)2?

mash [69]

Answer:

adding an acidic solution

Explanation:

Strong acids dissociate completely in water and the H⁺ ions react with the OH⁻ ions to make H₂O. If we add an acid to our solution of Ca(OH)₂, the acid protons would react with some of the OH⁻ ions and drive the equilibrium to the right. More of the solid Ca(OH)₂ should dissolve.
