Answer:
162 g Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.
Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol
2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)
Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol
18.3 g C 1 mole 2 moles Fe₂O₃ 159.684 g
-------------- x ---------------- x ------------------------- x ----------------- = 162 g Fe₂O₃
12.011 g 3 moles C 1 mole
<span>Pre-1982 definition of STP: 37 g/mol
Post-1982 definition of STP: 38 g/mol
This problem is somewhat ambiguous because the definition of STP changed in 1982. Prior to 1982, the definition was 273.15 K at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (101325 Pascals). Since 1982, the definition is 273.15 K at a pressure of exactly 100000 Pascals). Because of those 2 different definitions, the volume of 1 mole of gas is either 22.414 Liters (pre 1982 definition), or 22.71098 liters (post 1982 definition). And finally, there's entirely too many text books out there that still use the 35 year obsolete definition. So let's solve this problem using both definitions and you need to pick the correct answer for the text book you're using.
First, determine how many moles of gas you have. Just simply divide the volume you have by the molar volume.
Pre-1982: 2.1 / 22.414 = 0.093691443 moles
Post-1982: 2.1 / 22.71098 = 0.092466287 moles
Now determine the molar mass. Simply divide the mass by the moles. So
Pre-1982: 3.5 g / 0.093691443 moles = 37.35666667 g/mol
Post-1982: 3.5 g / 0.092466287 moles = 37.85163333 g/mol
Finally, round to 2 significant figures. So
Pre-1982: 37 g/mol
Post-1982: 38 g/mol</span>
Mixture is composed of molecules of different types. A compound can only be separated through chemical means. While a compound is a pure substance that contains 2 or more elements chemically combined together while a mixture are formed when two substances are added together without chemical bonds being formed.
delta g must be negative in order for the reaction to be spontaneous bb ♡
