Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal

Iron and carbon monoxide are made by heating 5.53 kg of iron ore, Fe₂O₃, and carbon. What is the theoretical yield of iron in ki
vfiekz [6]

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
