The balanced equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO = 2 Fe + 3 CO₂.
Next step is to convert everything to moles.
12.6g Fe₂O₃ x (1 mol Fe₂O₃ / 159.7g Fe₂O₃) = 0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃
9.65g CO x (1 mol CO / 28.01g CO) = 0.3445 mol CO
The third step is to determine the limiting and excess reactants.
0.07890 mol Fe₂O₃ x (3 mol CO/1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.2367 mol CO
Therefore Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reagent while CO is in excess.
0.07890 mol Fe x (2 mol Fe(s) / 1 mol Fe₂O₃) = 0.1578 mol Fe(s)
0.1578 mol Fe x (55.84g Fe / mole Fe) = 8.812g Fe is the theoretical yield
%yield = (7.23g / 8.812g) x 100% = 82.0% is the percent yield
3.65 X 10 to the power of 8
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The purpose of the periodic table was to organize elements as they were discovered into periods and groups, according to their properties. It was not just a naming of elements, as a list.
Answer:
a. Methanol remains the same
b. Methanol decreases
c. Methanol increases
d. Methanol remains the same
e. Methanol increases
Explanation:
Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.
a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.
b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.
c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.
e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
