Answer:

Catalyst

Explanation:

A general term for a chemical which accelerates a reaction without becoming chemically involved is called a catalyst.

Catalysts are used in industrial processes to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. For instance, in the Contact process used in the production of sulphuric (vi) acid, vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst to speed up the production of the acid. Vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is preferred to Platinum which was initially used as the catalyst since it does not react with any of the products of the process

Calculate the ΔH o for the reaction: Fe3+(aq) + 3OH−(aq) → Fe(OH)3(s) ΔH o = kJ/mol Substance ΔH o f (kJ/mol) ΔG o f (kJ/mol) S

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

ΔHr = -86.73 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, you can calculate ΔH of any reaction using ΔH°f of products and reactants involed in the reaction.

Hess law: ∑nΔH°f products - ∑nΔH°f reactants = ΔHr

-Where n are moles of reaction-

For the reaction:

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)

Hess law is:

ΔHr = ΔH°f Fe(OH)₃ - ΔH°f Fe³⁺ - 3×ΔH°f OH⁻

Where:

ΔH°f Fe(OH)₃: −824.25 kJ/mol

ΔH°f Fe³⁺: −47.7 kJ/mol

ΔH°f OH⁻: −229.94 kJ/mol

Replacing:

ΔHr = −824.25 kJ/mol - (−47.7 kJ/mol) - (3×-229.94 kJ/mol)

ΔHr = -86.73 kJ/mol

What is the limiting reactant and theoretical yield if 0.483 mol of Ti and 0.911 mol Clare used in this reaction: Ti + 2Cl2 → Ti

Mariana [72]

Answer : The limiting reactant is $Cl_2$ and the theoretical yield will be 86.45 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $Ti$ = 0.483 mole

Moles of $Cl_2$ = 0.911 mole

Molar mass of $TiCl_4$ = 190 g/mole

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$Ti+2Cl_2\rightarrow TiCl_4$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $Cl_2$ react with 1 mole of $Ti$

So, 0.911 moles of $Cl_2$ react with $\frac{0.911}{2}=0.455$ moles of $Ti$

From this we conclude that, $Ti$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $Cl_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $TiCl_4$ .

As, 2 moles of $Cl_2$ react to give 1 moles of $TiCl_4$

So, 0.911 moles of $Cl_2$ react to give $\frac{0.911}{2}=0.455$ moles of $TiCl_4$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $TiCl_4$ .

$\text{Mass of }TiCl_4=\text{Moles of }TiCl_4\times \text{Molar mass of }TiCl_4$

$\text{Mass of }TiCl_4=(0.455mole)\times (190g/mole)=86.45g$

Therefore, the theoretical yield will be 86.45 grams.

Given the following equation: 8 Fe + S 8  8 FeS

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

so u can work out the amount of moles of S8 by using

moles=mass/mr

=16/32.1=0.498moles

then use the molar ratio of

S : Fe

1:1 so the moles of Fe is the same 0.498

The use the equation

mass = mr x moles

=55.8 x 0.498

=27.78

so 27.8 g

hope this make sense :)
