Answer:

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069  ≈ 3.87 kg

Explanation:

From the question the chemical reaction can be written as follow :

Fe2O3 + C → Fe + CO  

Balance the equation

Fe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO  

compute the molecular mass of Fe2O3 and atomic mass of Iron(Fe)

Molecular mass of Fe2O3 = 55.845(2) + 15.999(3) = 111.69 + 47.997 = 159.687 g

Atomic mass of iron = 55.845 g

From the balanced equation

159.687 g of Fe2O3  produces 2 ×  55.845 = 111.69 g of Fe(iron)

Convert the 5.53 kg to gram

1 kg = 1000 g

5.53 kg  = 5.53 × 1000 = 5530 g

since,

159.687 g of Fe2O3  produces 2 ×  55.845 = 111.69 g of Iron(Fe)

5530 g of  Fe2O3  will produce  

cross multiply

Mass of Fe produced =5530 × 111.69/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 617645.7

/159.687

Mass of Fe produced = 3867.85211069  g

convert to kg

1000 g = 1 kg

3867.85211069   = 3867.85211069/1000

Mass of Fe produced = 3.86785211069  ≈ 3.87 kg

What is the molar ratio for the following equation after it has been properly balanced?
slava [35]
The answer 
<span>the molar ratio for the following equation 
____C3H8 + ____O2 Imported Asset ____CO2 + ____ H2O

</span>after it has been properly balanced:
__1_C3H8 + ____5O2 Imported Asset ____3CO2 + ____ 4H2O

proof:
number of C =3  (C3H8;   3CO2)
number of H =8 (C3H8 ; 4H2O)
number of O = 10(5x2) or (2x3+4)  (5O2;4H2O)

the answer is 
<span>Reactants: C3H8 = 1, O2 = 8; Products: CO2 = 3 and H2O = 4</span>

Why increasing the temperature of a gas would increase the volume of its container in gas law?
Zarrin [17]

When the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases. Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
