Percent composition by mass of oxygen =
((16.0*6)/(40.1+2*(14.0+16.0*3)))*100%
= 58.5%
therefore, the answer is D

Answer:

A. 9.8%

Explanation:

Percentage Composition = (Mass of element / Mass of compound) * 100

Mass of oxygen = 16g

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2

Where;

Ca = 40

N = 14

O =16

Molar mass = 40 + 2[14 + 3(16)] = 164

Substituting into the formular;

Percentage composition = (16 / 164) * 100

Percentage Composition = 0.0975 * 100

Percentage Composition = 9.75% ≈ 9.8 %

Correct option = A

2Fe(OH)3 Fe2O3+3H2O how many grams of Fe2O3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe (OH)3 react in this way

sasho [114]

Answer: 7.98 grams of $Fe_2O_3$ are produced if 10.7 grams of $Fe(OH)_3$ are reacted.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of} Fe(OH)_3=\frac{10.7g}{106.87g/mol}=0.100mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction is

$2Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of $Fe(OH)_3$ produce = 1 mole of $Fe_2O_3$

So, 0.100 moles of $Fe(OH)_3$ produce= $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.100=0.05mol$ of $Fe_2O_3$

Mass of $Fe_2O_3$ = $moles\times {\text{Molar Mass}}=0.05mol\times 159.69g/mol=7.98g$

Hence 7.98 grams of $Fe_2O_3$ are produced if 10.7 grams of $Fe(OH)_3$ are reacted.

In the important industrial process for producing ammonia (the Haber Process), the overall reaction is:

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here we have to use stoichiometry.

First of all, we have to calculate the mass of 100% of yield:

1.7 g ------- 98%

X -------- 100%

X = 1.73 g (approximately)

Second, we have to calculate the mass of N2 that is necessary to react to produce the mass of 1.73g of NH3. To do that, we have to use the Molar mass of N2 and NH3 and don't forget the stoichiometric relationship between them.

Molar Mass N2 : 14x2 = 28 g/mol

Molar Mass NH3: 14 + 3 = 17 g/mol

28g (N2) ------- 17x2 (NH3)

X ------------ 1.73 g

X = 1.42 g (approximately)
