Sand doesn't directly cause weathering because sand is made via weathering. When rocks get weathered they become sand. But maybe when the sand and wind work together they might be able to weather some rocks

Sand is used to cause weathering but it alone does not cause weathering. (Pretty sure)

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)

<u>Answer </u>

Answer 1 : 28.9 g of CO is needed.

Answer 2 : Six moles of H_{2}O over Nine moles of O_{2}

Answer 3 : Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}.

Answer 4 : Mass of O_{2} = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Answer 5 : 8.4 moles of sodium cyanide (NaCN) would be needed.

<u>Solution </u>

Solution 1 : Given,

Given mass of Fe_{2}O_{3} = 55 g

Molar mass of Fe_{2}O_{3} = 159.69 g/mole

Molar mass of CO = 28.01 g/mole

Moles of Fe_{2}O_{3} = \frac{\text{ Given mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}}{\text{ Molar mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}} = \frac{55 g}{159.69 g/mole} = 0.344 moles

Balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_{2}(g)

From the given reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of Fe_{2}O_{3} gives              →         3 moles of CO

0.344 moles of Fe_{2}O_{3} gives    →         3 × 0.344 moles of CO

                                                     =         1.032 moles

Mass of CO = Number of moles of CO × Molar mass of CO

                    = 1.032 × 28.01

                    = 28.90 g

Solution 2 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_{3}H_{6}+9O_{2}\rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O

From the given reaction, we conclude that the Six moles of H_{2}O over Nine moles of O_{2} is the correct option.

Solution 3 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

4Fe+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}.

Solution 4 : Given,

Given mass of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = 150 g

Molar mass of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = 232.29 g/mole

Molar mass of O_{2} = 31.998 g/mole

Moles of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = \frac{\text{ Given mass of }Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} }{\text{ Molar mass of } Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}} = (\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles

The balanced chemical equation is,

Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}\rightarrow ZnCl_{2}+3O_{2}

From the given balanced equation, we conclude that

1 mole of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} gives          →       3 moles of O_{2}

(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} gives  →  [(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] moles of O_{2}

Mass of O_{2} = Number of moles of O_{2} × Molar mass of  O_{2} = [(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] \times 31.998 grams

Therefore, the mass of O_{2} = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Solution 5 : Given,

Number of moles of Na_{2}SO_{4} = 4.2 moles

Balanced chemical equation is,

H_{2}SO_{4}+2NaCN\rightarrow 2HCN+Na_{2}SO_{4}

From the given chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of Na_{2}SO_{4} obtained from 2 moles of NaCN

4.2 moles of Na_{2}SO_{4} obtained   →   2 × 4.2 moles of NaCN

Therefore,

The moles of NaCN needed = 2 × 4.2 = 8.4 moles

Copper has a density of 8.920 g/cm3. What mass of copper will occupy 45cm3? What volume of copper will have a mass of 1.0 kg?
mixas84 [53]
Density = mass/volume
so rearranged mass = volume x density
mass = 8.920 x 45 = 401.4g

rearrange   (there are 1000grams in 1kg)
volume = mass/density
volume = 1000/8.920
volume = 112.1076233cm3

In a synthesis reaction you start with 1.7L of Hydrogen how many liters of water will be produced?
jolli1 [7]

15.3 litres of water will be produced if we take 1.7 litres of Hydrogen

Explanation:

Let's take a look over synthesis reaction;

H_{2}+ O_{2}<u>                         </u>H_{2}O<u />

<u>Balancing the chemical reaction;</u>

2H_{2} +O_{2}<u>                        </u>2H_{2}O<u />

Thus, 2 moles of hydrogen molecules are required to form 2 moles of water molecules.

<u>Equating the molarity;</u>

<u />\frac{1.7*1}{2*2} = \frac{x*1}{2*18}

           (Since, the molecular mass of hyd and water is 2 and 18 respectively)

x=\frac{1.7*2*18}{2*2}

x= 15.3 litres.

Thus,15.3 L of water will be produced if we take 1.7 litres of Hydrogen in a synthesis reaction.
