Answer:

Fe(iii)2O3 + 3CO ===> 2Fe + 3CO2

Explanation:

Fe(iii)2O3 + CO ===> Fe + CO2    

The best thing to do is start with the Oxygens. They are the most complicated.

 Fe(iii)2O3 +    3 CO ===> Fe +  3 CO2

Unfortunately this equation is a bit of by guess and by gosh. You need to balance the oxygens so that the total is an even number. That's because the right hand side is always going to be even. [The 2 on CO2 will make anything in front of it even).

So there are 6 oxygens on the left and 6 on the right. The carbons by accident are balanced with this maneuver. So all that is left is the irons.

Fe(iii)2O3 + 3CO ===> 2Fe + 3CO2

This equation is a bit nasty, but in higher chemistry courses, you will learn how to make it a whole lot simpler. For now you are just going to have to put up with the nastiness of the question and guess.

Why do you not need to perform the titration while the sample is at its original temperature?
liberstina [14]

We do not perform the titration while the sample is at its original temperature because reaction is too slow at original temperature and requires high activation energy.

A titration is a method where the concentration of an unknown solution is ascertained by comparing it to a solution of known concentration. The analyte (the unknown solution) is typically added in a known amount to the titrant (the known solution) from a buret until the reaction is finished.

The slow energy step in the reaction process may require a high activation energy, and the proportion of activated molecules needed to reach this reaction at room temperature or original temperature is too low, so most molecules cannot cross this peak. As a result, the reaction at room temperature proceeds very slowly (the final product is not reached). Heat can enhance the proportion of active molecules and catalyse a larger-scale reaction.

Suppose you are working with a NaOH stock solution but you need a solution with a lower concentration for your experiment. Calcu
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

V_1=23.3~mL

Explanation:

In this case, we have a dilution problem. We have to remember that in the dilution procedure we go from a solution with higher concentration to a solution with lesser concentration. Therefore we have to start with the dilution equation:

C_1*V_1=C_2*V_2

Now we can identify the variables:

C_1=~1.475_M

V_1=~?

C_2=~0.1374_M

V_2=~250.0~mL

If we plug all the values into the equation:

1.475_M*V_1=0.1374_M*250.0~mL

And we solve for V_1:

V_1=\frac{0.1374_M*250.0~mL}{1.475_M}

V_1=23.3~mL

I hope it helps!

A container holds 6.4 moles of gas. Hydrogen gas makes up 25% of the total moles in the container. If the total pressure is 1.24
Degger [83]
  The   partial  pressure of hydrogen is 0.31  atm

calculation

find the number of  hydrogen   moles the container, that is

25/100  x 6.4  =1.6 moles of hydrogen

find the  partial pressure for hydrogen  in 1.6 moles

that is   6.4  moles=  1.24 atm
            1.6  moles= ?

by  cross  multiplication

1.6moles  x1.24  atm/ 6.4 moles=  0.31 atm
