Answer:

c. 0.30

Explanation:

One C atom has a mass of 12.0 u and one Ar atom has a mass of 40.0 u.

Let’s assume that there are <em>n</em> atoms of C and <em>n</em> atoms of Ar. Then

Mass of <em>n</em> C atoms = <em>n</em> × 12.0

Mass of <em>n</em> C atoms = 12.0<em>n</em> u

Mass of <em>n</em> Ar atoms = <em>n</em> × 40.0

Mass of <em>n</em> Ar atoms = 40.0<em>n</em> u

ratio = mass of C/mass of Ar

ratio = 12.0<em>n</em>/40.0<em>n </em>

ratio = 0.300

Twenty five grams of Iron 3 oxide react with an excess of carbon monoxide to form 15 g of Fe. Carbon dioxide is the other produc
densk [106]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Theoretical mass = 17.42 g

Percent yield of Fe = 86.11%

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide is given by;

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

We are required to calculate the theoretical yield and the percentage yield of Iron.

Step 1: Moles of iron (iii) oxide

Moles are given by dividing the mass of the compound by the molar mass.

Molar mass of Iron(iii) oxide = 159.69 g/mol

Moles of Iron(III) oxide = 25 g ÷ 159.69 g/mol

                                     = 0.156 moles

Step 2: Moles of Iron produced

From the equation 1 mole of Iron(iii) oxide reacts to produce 2 moles of Fe.

Therefore, the mole ratio of Fe₂O₃ to Fe is 1 : 2.

Thus, moles of Fe = Moles of Fe₂O₃ × 2

                              = 0.156 moles × 2

                              = 0.312 moles

Step 3: Theoretical mass of iron produced

To calculate the mass of iron we multiply the number of moles of iron with the relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass = 55.845

Mass of iron = 0.312 moles × 55.845

                    = 17.42 g

Step 4: Percent yield of iron

% yield = (Actual mass ÷ Theoretical mass)×100

            = (15 g ÷ 17.42 g) × 100 %

            = 86.11%

How much more acidic is an acid with a pH of 6 than water with a pH of 7?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1 pH more acidic

Explanation:

0 is considered to be most acidic.

14 is the most alkaline

7 is neutral.

So from 7 pH, it becomes 1 pH acidic, making it 6 pH.
