Answer:fluorine=0.5082

Iron=0.3388

Explanation:

Using Empirical formula to show the ratio.

F. Fe

50.51/39 49.49/56

=1.295. 0.88375

=1.295/0.88375 :0.88375/0.88375

=1.465:1

multiply each term by 2 to get a whole number ratio,we have

=(1.465*2) :(1*2)

=2.93:2

=3:2

To get the amount if each contribution of F and Fe,we use ratio,

F=3/(3+2)=3/5*total mass(0.847)

F=0.5082g

Similarly,Fe=2/5*0.847

Fe=0.3388g.

Answer: 0,4278g of F and 0,4191g of Fe

Explanation: it's possible to calculate the mass of each element by multiplying the percentage (decimal) of the element by the mass of the compound.

For Fluorine (F)

0,847g * 0,5051 = 0,4278g of F

For iron (Fe)

0,847 * 0,4949 = 0,4191g of Fe

This is determined because even when the compound is decomposed, due to conservative law of mass, the decomposition process do not affect the amount of matter, so the mass of the elements remain even if they are separated from the original molecule.

At the end, the sum of the elements masses should be the total mass of the compound.

1. Interpret the following equation using moles, molecules, and volumes (assume STP). Compare the mass of the reactants to the m
blsea [12.9K]
1. In this reaction, 2 moles of nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to give 2 moles of N2O3 gas. 2 nitrogen molecules react with 3 oxygen molecules to give 2 N2O3 molecules.  Under STP, one mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. So in this reaction, 44.8 liters of nitrogen gas reacts with 67.2 liters of oxygen gas to give 44.8 liters of N2O3 gas.  The total mass of the reactants (N2 and O2) is the same as the total mass of the product (N2O3). This is called mass balance of a chemical reaction.


2. According to the chemical reaction, 3 moles of chlorine gas produces 2 moles of iron(III) chloride.  So, to produce 1 moles of iron(III) chloride, 3/2 (1.5) moles of chlorine gas is required.  Therefore, to produce 14 moles of iron(III) chloride, 14 x 1.5 = 21 moles of chlorine is needed.

You have 8 moles of a gas at 250 K in a 6 L container. What is the pressure of the gas? Show your work
Bogdan [553]

Hello:

In this case, we will use the Clapeyron equation:

P = ?

n = 8 moles

T = 250 K

R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K

V = 6 L

Therefore:

P * V = n *  R * T

P * 6 = 8 * 0.082* 250

P* 6 = 164

P = 164 / 6

P = 27.33 atm


Hope that helps!
