Fe2O3 + 2Al ---> Al2O3 + 2Fe 
Mole ratio Fe2O3 : Al = 1:2 
No. of moles of Fe2O3 = Mass/RMM = 250 / (55.8 * 2 + 16 * 3) = 1.56641604 moles 
No. of moles of Al = 150/27 = 5.555555555 moles. 
Mole ratio 1 : 2. 1.56641604 * 2 = 3.13283208 moles of Al, but you have 5.555555555 moles of Al. So Al is in excess. All of it won't react. 

So take the Fe2O3 and Fe ratio to calculate the mass of iron metal that can be prepared. 
RMM of Fe2O3 / Mass of Fe2O3 = RMM of 2Fe / Mass of Fe 159.6 / 250 = 111.6 / x x = 174.8 g of Fe

Answer : The mass of iron metal needed are, 87.4 grams

Solution : Given,

Mass of Al = 150 g

Mass of Fe_2O_3 = 250 g

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mole

Molar mass of Fe_2O_3 = 160 g/mole

Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Al and Fe_2O_3.

\text{ Moles of }Al=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Al}{\text{ Molar mass of }Al}=\frac{150g}{27g/mole}=5.55moles

\text{ Moles of }Fe_2O_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3}=\frac{250g}{160g/mole}=1.56moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe_2O_3+2Al\rightarrow Al_2O_3+2Fe

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Al react with 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 1.56 moles of Al react with \frac{1.56}{2}=0.78 moles of Fe_2O_3

From this we conclude that, Fe_2O_3 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Al is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of Fe

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Al react to give 2 mole of Fe

So, 1.56 mole of Al react to give 1.56 mole of Fe

Now we have to calculate the mass of Fe

\text{ Mass of }Fe=\text{ Moles of }Fe\times \text{ Molar mass of }Fe

\text{ Mass of }Fe=(1.56moles)\times (56g/mole)=87.4g

Thus, the mass of iron metal needed are, 87.4 grams

You heat 3.869 g of a mixture of fe3o4 and feo to form 4.141 g fe2o3. What is the mass of oxygen reacted?
Lostsunrise [7]

The reaction is  

FeO + Fe3O4 + 1/2 O2---> 2Fe2O3

Thus as shown in the balanced equation two moles of Fe2O3 are formed when 0.5 moles of O2 reacted with mixture of FeO and Fe3O4

moles of Fe2O3 = MAss / Molar mass = 4.141 / 159.69 = 0.0259 moles

So moles of O2 needed = 0.5 X 0.0259 = 0.01295

Mass of O2 = moles X molar mass = 0.01295 X 32 = 0.4144 grams

If 20.0 g acetylene is allowed to completely react with oxygen, how many grams of o2 are reacted? 2c2h2(g 5o2(g → 4co2(g 2h2o(g
KATRIN_1 [288]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

We are given the amount of acetylene to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations.

20.0g C2H2 ( 1 mol / 26.04 g) ( 5 mol O2 / 2 mol C2H2 ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 61.44 g O2 is needed</span>

What do you think is the reason for an increasing atomic radius within one group?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

As you go down a group on the periodic table, you get more electron shells and therefore a larger atomic radius.
