How would you separate a mixture of water, sand, salt and iron filings into its four component parts

1 answer:

3 0

Magnet to remove the iron, filter paper (or some filter that could trap sand) to remove the sand, and heat up the salt and water, causing the water to evaporate to separate them.

Consider the following reaction.

Ivan

Answer:

162 g Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol

18.3 g C 1 mole 2 moles Fe₂O₃ 159.684 g
-------------- x ---------------- x ------------------------- x ----------------- = 162 g Fe₂O₃
12.011 g 3 moles C 1 mole

To investigate the reactivity of metals a student uses four metals. Each time they added 1 g of the metal to 25 cm³ of sulfuric

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Volume of the sulfuric acid (25cm³), same mass of each metal (1g)

Explanation:

In an experiment, the CONTROL VARIABLE also known as constant is the variable that is kept unchanged for all groups in an experiment. This is done in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment.

In this case, students are trying to investigate the reactivity of four different metals. They added 1 g of each metal to 25cm³ of sulfuric acid and recorded the temperature change. Based on the explanation of control variable above, the VOLUME OF SULFURIC ACID (25cm³) and the MASS OF EACH METAL (1g) are the CONTROL VARIABLES because they are the same or unchanged in this experiment.

What can the presence of suffixes such as -ite,-ate,or -de in a chemical name indicate?

laila [671]

Answer: Most polyatomic ions are -ate, related ions that have 1 fewer oxygen atom are -ite (must have at least 1 oxygen tho) and nonmetals are ide.

Consider this hydrocarbon. A hexagon. Is this an aromatic hydrocarbon? Why or why not? Yes, because the carbon chain is made up

grin007 [14]

Answer:

C. No, because the carbon chain is composed of only a single ring.

Polycyclicity, having more than a single ring, is a property of only aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, if the hydrocarbon is not polycyclic, it is non-aromatic

Explanation:

Cyclic Hydrocarbons

These are organic compounds which are cyclic in structure. The compound cyclohexane involves a ring of six carbon atoms, each of which is also bonded to two hydrogen atoms

Aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic ring organic compound which are based on the benzene ring structure.

A. If the hexagon contains single bonds, it is non-aromatic.

B. No. Having a ring shape does not on its own determine the aromaticity of a hydrocarbon.

C. Polycyclicity, having more than a single ring, is a property of only aromatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, if the hydrocarbon is not polycyclic, it is non-aromatic

D. Having double bonds within a ring is not a criteria for being aromatic. Both aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons have double bonds within their rings. However, aromatic hydrocarbons have alternate double and single bonds within their 6-carbon ring structure.

Note: Since the structure of the required hydrocarbon is not shown, the explanation contains attachments of hexagonal structures of three hydrocarbons; one non-aromatic and the other two are aromatic. Cyclohexane is non-aromatic while Benzene and the polycyclic compounds are aromatic.
