Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:

vfiekz [6]

6NaC₂H₃O₂ + Fe₂O₃ → 2Fe(C₂H₃O₂)₃ + 3Na₂O

Explanation:

Given equation;

NaC₂H₃O₂ + Fe₂O₃ → Fe(C₂H₃O₂)₃ + Na₂O

To find the coefficient that will balance this we equation, let us set up simple mathematical algebraic expressions that we can readily solve.

Let us have at the back of our mind that, in every chemical reaction, the number of atom is usually conserved.

aNaC₂H₃O₂ + bFe₂O₃ → cFe(C₂H₃O₂)₃ + dNa₂O

a, b, c and d are the coefficients that will balance the equation.

conserving Na; a = 2d

C: 2a = 6c

H: 3a = 9c

O; 2a + 3b = 6c + d

Fe: 2b = c

let a = 1

solving:

2a = 6c

2(1) = 6c

c = $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

2b = c

b = $\frac{1}{2} x \frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

d = 2a + 3b - 6c = 2(1 ) + (3 x $\frac{1}{6}$ ) - (6 x $\frac{1}{3}$ ) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Now multiply through by 6

a = 6, b = 1, c = 2 and d = 3

6NaC₂H₃O₂ + Fe₂O₃ → 2Fe(C₂H₃O₂)₃ + 3Na₂O

a 1.25g sample of ore containing iron pyrite (FeS2) was pulverized and ignited in air, converting the FeS2 to Fe2O3 and SO2(g).

svp [43]

Answer:

28.9%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 FeS₂ + 11/2 O₂ ⇒ Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

We can establish the following relations:

The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 159.6 g/mol
1 mole of Fe₂O₃ is produced per 2 moles of FeS₂
1 mole of Fe is in 1 mole of FeS₂
The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol

The amount of Fe in the sample that produced 0.516 g of Fe₂O₃ is:

$0.516gFe_{2}O_{3}.\frac{1molFe_{2}O_{3}}{159.6gFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{2molFeS_{2}}{1molFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{1molFe}{1molFeS_{2}} .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.361gFe$

The percent of Fe in 1.25 g of the ore is:

$\frac{0.361g}{1.25g} .100\%=28.9\%$
