Answer:
Mass = 157.5 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of CO needed = ?
Mass of Fe formed = 209.7 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
3CO + F₂O₃ → 2Fe + 3CO₂
Number of moles of Fe:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 209.7 g/ 55.85 g/mol
Number of moles = 3.75 mol
Now we will compare the moles of iron and carbon monoxide.
Fe : CO
2 : 3
3.75 ; 3/2×3.75 = 5.625 mol
Mass of CO:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 5.625 mol × 28 g/mol
Mass = 157.5 g
Socratic helps for you page
Grams of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams
Grams of white compound = 27.8 grams
Grams of Chlorine would be = 27.8 - 4.14 = 23.66 grams
Calculating moles which would be grams / molar mass
Molar mass of P = 30.97 grams / moles; Molar mass of Cl = 35.45 grams / moles
Moles of Phosphorus = 4.14 grams / 30.97 grams / moles = 0.1337 moles
Moles of Chlorine = 23.66 grams / 35.45 grams / moles = 0.6674 moles
Calculating the ratios by dividing with the small entity
P = 0.1337 moles / 0.1337 moles = 1
Cl = 0.6674 moles / 0.1337 moles = 5
So the empirical formula would be PCl5
Rounded to 1 significant figure, 25 m would go to 30. This is because 0 isn't significant, so the 3 is the only significant figure.
Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles. Hope this helped!
