Answer:

The answer to your question is 160 g of Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

Data

mass of Fe = 112 g

mass of CO = in excess

mass of Fe₂O₃ = ?

Balanced chemical reaction

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and Fe

Molar mass Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 112 + 48 = 160 g

atomic mass of Fe = 56

2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed

160 g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------- 2(56) g of Fe

x g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------ 112 g of Fe

x = (112 x 160) / 2(56)

x = 17920/112

x = 160 g of Fe₂O₃

Given the following thermodynamic data, calculate the lattice energy of LiCl:

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{-862 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

One way to calculate the lattice energy is to use Hess's Law.

The lattice energy U is the energy released when the gaseous ions combine to form a solid ionic crystal:

Li⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) ⟶ LiCl(s); U = ?

We must generate this reaction rom the equations given.

(1) Li(s) + ½Cl₂ (g) ⟶ LiCl(s); ΔHf° = -409 kJ·mol⁻¹

(2) Li(s) ⟶ Li(g); ΔHsub = 161 kJ·mol⁻¹

(3) Cl₂(g) ⟶ 2Cl(g) BE = 243 kJ·mol⁻¹

(4) Li(g) ⟶Li⁺(g) +e⁻ IE₁ = 520 kJ·mol⁻¹

(5) Cl(g) + e⁻ ⟶ Cl⁻(g) EA₁ = -349 kJ·mol⁻¹

Now, we put these equations together to get the lattice energy.

(5) Li⁺(g) +e⁻ ⟶ Li(g) 520

(6) Li(g) ⟶ Li(s) -161

(7) Li(s) + ½Cl₂(g) ⟶ LiCl(s) -409

(8) Cl(g) ⟶ ½Cl₂(g) -121.5

(9) Cl⁻(g) ⟶ Cl(g) + e⁻ <u>+349</u>

Li⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) ⟶ LiCl(s) -862

The lattice energy of LiCl is $\boxed{\textbf{-862 kJ/mol}}$ .

A rotameter calibration curve (flow rate versus float position) obtained using a liquid is mistakenly used to measure a gas flow

Veronika [31]

Answer:

I would expect the gas rate determined in this manner to be too low

Explanation:

A Rotameter can be designed to respond to the sensitivity of density, velocity, to measure the flow rate of liquid or gas enclosed in a tube. Liquids are denser than gas, and since the gas rate to be determined needed to respond to the velocity head alone of the rotameter so as to bring the forces in the tube equilibrium. Knowing if there is no flow, then the float would remain at the bottom, so gas has to flow at a higher rate compared to the liquid so the float would be in a similar position making it easier to measure the flowrate. This leaves the gas rate to be determined too low.

Explain how plate tectonics are responsible for where we find some of our natural resources.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.
