Which quantity can vary among atoms of the same element?

Fe2O3 + CO --> Fe + CO2

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

1.-Fe₂O₃

2.- 280 g

3.- 330 g

Explanation:

Data

mass of CO = 224 g

mass of Fe₂O₃ = 400 g

mass of Fe = ?

mass of CO₂

Balanced chemical reaction

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and CO

Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 160 g

CO = 12 + 16 = 28 g

2.- Calculate the proportions

theoretical proportion Fe₂O₃ /3CO = 160/84 = 1.90

experimental proportion Fe₂O₃ / CO = 400/224 = 1.78

As the experimental proportion is lower than the theoretical, we conclude that the Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reactant.

3.- 160 g of Fe₂O₃ --------------- 2(56) g of Fe

400 g of Fe₂O₃ --------------- x

x = (400 x 112) / 160

x = 280 g of Fe

4.- 160 g of Fe₂O₃ --------------- 3(44) g of CO₂

400 g of Fe₂O₃ -------------- x

x = (400 x 132)/160

x = 330 gr

Which has more atoms, 12.0 mol of C or 12.0 mol of Ca?

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

they are equal.

Explanation:

1 mol = 6.022 × 10^23 (Avogadro's constant), which is the number of atoms in 1 mol of any element. Doesn't matter what their atomic mass is, although, of course, 1 mol of carbon weighs less than 1 mol of calcium, but its because their mass is different, but the point is, in 1 mol of any element there is 6.03*10^23 atoms

This is like saying, what weighs more, 10 kg of feathers or 10 kg of metal

Certain hydrocarbon is 92.3 % carbon and 7.7 % hydrogen by mass.If the molar mass of the hydrocarbon is approximately 40 g/mol,

zimovet [89]

Answer:

The hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C3H3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of the compound is 100 grams

A hydrocarbon contains:

⇒ 92.3 % carbon = 92.3 grams

⇒ 7.7 % hydrogen = 7.7 grams

Molar mass of the compound is 40 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles carbon = 92.3 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 7.69 moles

Moles hydrogen = 7.70 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles hydrogen = 7.62

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

Carbon: 7.69/7.62 = 1

Hydrogen: 7.62/7.62 = 1

The empirical formula is CH

The molar mass is 13.02 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate the molecular formula

n = 40 g/mol / 13.02 g/mol

n ≈ 3

We need to multiply the empirical formula by 3 to get the molecular formula

Molecular formula = 3*(CH) = C3H3

The hydrocarbon is C3H3
