For the following reaction, 89.5 grams of iron are allowed to react with 36.9 grams of oxygen gas. iron (s) oxygen (g) iron(III)

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

122.3 g of Fe₂O₃ is the maximum amount formed

Explanation:

Our reactants for the reaction:

89.5 g of Fe

36.9 g of O₂

We convert the mass of each to moles:

89.5 g of Fe . 1 mol / 55.85 g = 1.60 moles

36.9 g of O₂ . 1mol / 32g = 1.15 moles

The reaction is 4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃ (s)

We determine the limiting reactant:

4 moles of Iron can react with 3 moles of O₂

Therefore 1.60 moles of Iron will react with (1.60 .3) / 4 = 1.2 moles

Oxygen is the limiting reactant; we need 1.2 moles, and we only have 1.15.

Then we work with the stoichiometry again.

3 moles of oxygen can produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃

1.15 moles of oxygen may produce (1.15 . 2) / 3 = 0.766 moles of Fe₂O₃

We convert the moles to mass: 0.766 mol . 159.7 g /1mol = 122.3 g of Fe₂O₃

A sample of carbon dioxide at RTP is 0.50 dm3. How many grams of carbon dioxide do we have?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

0.924 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of CO2 at RTP = 0.50 dm³

Mass of CO2 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CO2 that occupied 0.50 dm³ at RTP (room temperature and pressure). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of gas = 24 dm³ at RTP

Thus,

1 mole of CO2 occupies 24 dm³ at RTP.

Therefore, Xmol of CO2 will occupy 0.50 dm³ at RTP i.e

Xmol of CO2 = 0.5 /24

Xmol of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Thus, 0.021 mole of CO2 occupied 0.5 dm³ at RTP.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO2 as follow:

Mole of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2×16) = 13 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.021 = mass of CO2 /44

Cross multiply

Mass of CO2 = 0.021 × 44

Mass of CO2 = 0.924 g.

When a 5.00-g metal piece, A, was immersed in 38.0 mL of water, the water level rose to 50.0 mL. Similarly, when a 5.00-g metal

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A is denser than B as it's volume for the same mass is smaller.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we first need to take into account that the density of each metal A and B is computed by dividing the mass over the volume of each metal which is actually computed by substracting the volume of water from the volume of the water and the solid:

$V_A=50.0mL-38.0mL=12.0mL\\\\V_B=60.0mL-38.0mL=22.0mL$

Next, we compute the densities as shown below:

$\rho_A=\frac{m_A}{V_A}=\frac{5.00g}{12.0mL}=0.42g/mL\\ \\\rho_B=\frac{m_B}{V_B}=\frac{5.00g}{22.0mL}=0.23g/mL$

In such a way, A is denser is B as it's volume for the same mass is smaller.

Best regards.

Which term best describes the role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule?

Alex Ar [27]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The term that would best describe the <span>role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule would be a reactant. Water has a formula of H2O where it contains water so it should be that hydrogen is a reactant. </span>
