Answer: A) 67.1 moles

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is :

2C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO(g)

Fe_2O_3+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles of iron}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{5.00\times 1000g}{56g/mol}=89.3moles

According to stoichiometry;

2 moles of iron is produced by 3 moles of carbon monoxide

89.3 moles of iron is produced by=\frac{3}{2}\times 89.3=134 moles of carbon monoxide

2 moles of carbon monoxide is produced by = 1 mole of oxygen

Thus 134 moles of carbon monoxide is produced by = \frac{1}{2}\times 134=67.1 moles of oxygen

Compare the costs of using renewable resources to the costs of using nonrenewable resources.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Sample response:

The costs of using both renewable and nonrenewable resources depend on the extent of the use. If renewable resources are managed wisely, the use of the resource will not exceed the rate at which it is replenished. In this instance the cost of using renewable resources can be minimized, if not entirely eliminated. The cost of using nonrenewable resources is harder to minimize because nonrenewable resources cannot be replenished at the rate at which they are used. The environmental impact of using nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuels is greater than just the loss of the resource itself. Other impacts such as acid rain, global warming, and atmospheric pollution can result from the use of nonrenewable resources.
