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\%

True or false; when something heats up, New energy is created, and when something cool down, Energy is destroyed.
Ann [662]

Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

This statement directly opposes the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can transfer from one source to another.

Chicago is about 2,800 km from Los Angeles. About how long would it take a jet plane flying 800 km/h to fly from Chicago to Los
BaLLatris [955]

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken by jet plane to reach Los Angeles from Chicago is 3.5 hours

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object moves with respect to time.

To calculate the time taken for the given speed, we use the equation:

s=\frac{d}{t}

where,

s = speed of the jet plane = 800 km/hr

d = distance traveled = 2800 km

t = time taken by jet plane = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

800km/hr=\frac{2800km}{t}\\\\t=\frac{2800km}{800km/hr}=3.5hr

Hence, the time taken by jet plane to reach Los Angeles from Chicago is 3.5 hours

When 11.12 g of neon is combined in a 100 L container at 80oC with 9.59 g of argon, what is the mole fraction of argon?
PolarNik [594]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "<span>0.3."

Here it is how to solve.
M</span><span>olecular mass of Ar = 40
</span><span>Molecular mass of Ne = 20
</span><span>Number of moles of Ar = 9.59/40 = 0.239
</span><span>Number of moles of Ne = 11.12/20= 0.556
</span><span>Mole fraction of argon = 0.239/ ( 0.239 + 0.556) = 0.3</span><span>
