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\%

If a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, what will be the new element?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

Explanation:

The beta decay is given by:

^{A}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{A}_{Z+1}Y + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}

Where:

A: is the mass number

Z: is the number of protons  

β⁻: is a beta particle = electron

\bar{\nu_{e}}: is an antineutrino

The neutral atom has 88 electrons, so:

e^{-} = 88 = Z

Hence the element is radium (Ra), it has A = 226.

If Ra undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, we have:

^{226}_{88}Ra \rightarrow ^{226}_{89}Ac + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}    

^{226}_{89}Ac \rightarrow ^{226}_{90}Th + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}

Therefore, if a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay the new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

I hope it helps you!

How many atoms are in 5 GRAMS of Fe2O3
Llana [10]

There are two iron atoms and three oxygen atoms in each molecule of Fe2O3. So that's five atoms per molecule.

One mole of any molecular substance contains <span>6.02×1023</span> molecules. Since there are two iron atoms in each of the molecules we're considering, there will be <span><span>(6.02×1023)</span>⋅2=1.204×1024</span> iron atoms in a whole mole of them.

But we're considering 0.550 mol, so multiply by 0.550:

<span>n=(0.550</span> mol<span>)⋅<span>(3.01×1024</span></span> atoms/mol<span>)=6.62×1023</span> iron atoms.
