Answer:

28.9%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 FeS₂ + 11/2 O₂ ⇒ Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 159.6 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ is produced per 2 moles of FeS₂
  • 1 mole of Fe is in 1 mole of FeS₂
  • The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol

The amount of Fe in the sample that produced 0.516 g of Fe₂O₃ is:

0.516gFe_{2}O_{3}.\frac{1molFe_{2}O_{3}}{159.6gFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{2molFeS_{2}}{1molFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{1molFe}{1molFeS_{2}} .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.361gFe

The percent of Fe in 1.25 g of the ore is:

\frac{0.361g}{1.25g} .100\%=28.9\%

Alik [6]

Answer:

Incomplete  

Explanation:

I wouldn't say that a scientific theory is wrong.

It is the best we have at the time, based on all available knowledge .

As each new discovery is made, scientists modify the theory to fit the new knowledge.

The scientific method is a never-ending process.
