a 1.25g sample of ore containing iron pyrite (FeS2) was pulverized and ignited in air, converting the FeS2 to Fe2O3 and SO2(g).

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\%

How many neutrons are present in a nucleus whose atomic number is one and whose mass number is one?
nekit [7.7K]

Because the proton has a mass of 1 and a neutron has a mass of 1, we know that there is exactly one proton in the nucleus (because of the atomic number) which therefore tells us there are no neutrons as adding one would make the mass more than one.

A solution of toilet bowl cleaner has PH of 13 the solution is?
AlladinOne [14]
The solution is an alkali.

Usually with the pH value range of 14, substances with pH 7 can be called neutral. Meanwhile substances lower than pH 7 are acids, the lower the pH is, the more acidic it is. Such as cola, it has a pH 2, which is very acidic.
In opposite, the substances with pH over 7 are called alkalis. Again, the larger the pH value is, the more alkaline it is. So pH 13 is a strong alkaline therefore it it corrosive and can clean the toilet well.

Describe the capillary action in acetone compared to water
lakkis [162]
Capillary action is defined as the ability of a liquid to go up a narrow space without the help or opposition of external forces. One of the most important factors affecting capillary action is the intermolecular forces within a substance. The higher the IMF, the greater the capillary action. The H-bonding in water gives it greater IMF than acetone, so water has greater capillary action.

Nitella [24]
The answer is (4). You may recall the term "radiometric dating," which refers to the dating of old artifacts by measuring proportions of certain radioactive isotopes they contain and making calculations based on their estimated half-lives. Geological formations are dated in this way.
