Answer:
Number of moles of Fe = 10 mol
Number of moles of CO₂ = 15 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of iron oxide = 5 mol
Number of moles of carbon monoxide = 25 mol
Number of moles of product = ?
Solution:
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂
Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.
Fe₂O₃ : Fe
1 : 2
5 : 2×5 = 10 mol
Fe₂O₃ : CO₂
1 : 3
5 : 3×5 = 15 mol
CO : Fe
3 : 2
25 : 2/3×25 = 16.7 mol
CO : CO₂
3 : 3
25 : 25
Less number of moles of Fe and CO₂ are formed by iron oxide thus it will act as limiting reactant while CO is inn excess.
Answer:
Option C :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Explanation:
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
For Example
C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)
Now
Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound
C : H : O
2 : 6 : 2
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H : O
2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2
1 : 3 : 1
So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O
So, Option C is correct :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
