The law of definite proportions would state that a hydrate always contain exactly the same proportion of salt and water by mass.
strictly speaking, the law of definite proportion states that a compound always
contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.
But the law is often applied to groupings of elements in compound.
Hydrates are salt that have a certain amount of water asa part of their structure.
The water is chemically combined with the compound in a definite ratio.

The following two reactions are important in the blast furnace production of iron metal from iron ore (Fe2O3):2C(s) + O2(g) -&gt

Inga [223]

Answer: A) 67.1 moles

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is :

$2C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO(g)$

$Fe_2O_3+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2$

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles of iron}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{5.00\times 1000g}{56g/mol}=89.3moles$

According to stoichiometry;

2 moles of iron is produced by 3 moles of carbon monoxide

89.3 moles of iron is produced by= $\frac{3}{2}\times 89.3=134$ moles of carbon monoxide

2 moles of carbon monoxide is produced by = 1 mole of oxygen

Thus 134 moles of carbon monoxide is produced by = $\frac{1}{2}\times 134=67.1$ moles of oxygen

Which of the reactions below are catalyzed? Check all that apply.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

B. Salt, NaCl, is produced by the process of evaporation of seawater or brine. If the surface area of the water is increased, the same volume of water evaporates faster.

C. The Haber process combines hydrogen and nitrogen to make ammonia. The two gases are passed through a reactor under pressure and at high temperatures. If iron is added to the reactor, the yield of ammonia increases.

Explanation:

Evaporation of water is responsible for the production of sodium chloride also known as table salt. Sodium and chlorine are present in water. When more evaporation of water occurs, sodium and chlorine come close together forming sodium chloride. Haber process is responsible for the production of ammonia which is used as fertilizer. For speed up the process, catalyst is used such as iron in order to complete the reaction in less time. Iron binds hydrogen and nitrogen with each other.

A student who is performing this experiment pours an 8.50 mL sample of the saturated borax solution into a 10 mL graduated cylin

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

ksp = 0,176

Explanation:

The borax (Na₂borate) in water is in equilibrium, thus:

Na₂borate(s) ⇄ borate²⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq)

When you add just borax, the moles of Na²⁺ are twice the moles of borate²⁻, that means 2borate²⁻=Na⁺ (1)

The ksp is defined as:

ksp = [borate²⁻] [Na⁺]²

Then, borate²⁻(B₄O₇²⁻) reacts with HCl thus:

B₄O₇²⁻ + 2HCl + 5H₂O → 4H₃BO₃ + 2Cl⁻

The moles of HCl that reacts with B₄O₇²⁻ are:

0,500M×0,01200L = 6,00x10⁻³ mol of HCl

As two moles of HCl react with 1 mol of B₄O₇²⁻, the moles of B₄O₇²⁻ are:

6,00x10⁻³ mol of HCl× $\frac{1molB_{4}O_{7}^{2-}}{2molHCl}$ = 3,00x10⁻³ mol of B₄O₇²⁻

For (1), moles of Na⁺ are 3,00x10⁻³ mol ×2 = 6,00x10⁻³ mol of Na⁺

The [borate²⁻] is 3,00x10⁻³ mol of B₄O₇²⁻/0,00850L = 0,353M

And [Na⁺] is 6,00x10⁻³ mol of Na⁺ / 0,00850L = 0,706M

Replacing in the expression of ksp:

ksp = [0,353] [0,706]²

ksp = 0,176

I hope it helps!
