Answer: 27 neutrons

Explanation:

Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Atomic number.

Hence, Calcium with mass number 47 and atomic number 20 will have 20 protons

Therefore, since Mass number = number of protons + neutrons

47 = 20 + neutrons

Neutrons = 47 - 20 = 27

Thus, there are 27 neutrons in radioactive calcium nucleus.

One reaction involved in the conversion of iron ore to the metal is FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g) Use Hess’s Law to calculate

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0 \ kJ/mole$

Explanation:

Given that:

$3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (1) \\ \\ \\ Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +3CO_{(g)} \to 2FE_{(s)} + 3CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -25.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (2) \\ \\ \\ Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)} \to 3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)} \ \delta H = 19.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (3)$

From equation (3) , multiplying (-1) with equation (3) and interchanging reactant with the product side; we have:

$3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)} \to Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -19.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (4)$

Multiplying (2) with equation (4) ; we have:

$6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (5)$

From equation (1) ; multiplying (-1) with equation (1); we have:

$2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to 3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \ \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (6)$

From equation (2); multiplying (3) with equation (2); we have:

$3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (7)$

Now; Adding up equation (5), (6) & (7) ; we get:

$6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)} \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (5)$

$2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to 3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \ \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (6)$

$3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)} \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole -- equation (7)$

$FeO \ \ \ + \ \ \ CO \ \ \to \ \ \ \ Fe_{(s)} + \ \ CO_{2(g)} \ \ \ \delta H = - 66.0 \ kJ/mole$

$\delta H_{rxn} = \delta H_1 + \delta H_2 + \delta H_3$ (According to Hess Law)

$\delta H_{rxn} = (-38.0 + 47.0 + (-75.0)) \ kJ/mole$

$\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0 \ kJ/mole$

The Valence Electrons of an Atom of Which Element would feel a Greater Effective Nuclear Charge than the Valence?

kumpel [21]

The effective nuclear charge is an innate property of a specific element. It is the pull of force that an electron feels from the nucleus. It is related to the valence electron by the equation: Z* = Z-S, where Z* is the effective nuclear charge, Z is the atomic number and S is the shielding constant.

For the following elements in the choices, these are their values of Z*:

Aluminum - +12.591
Beryllium - +1.912
Hydrogen - +1
Carbon - +4

The effective nuclear charge of Boron is +3. Thus, the answers are Aluminum and Carbon.

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a. 1.12 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the photosynthesis

6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.20 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

2.20 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 0.0500 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂ produced

The molar ratio of CO₂ to O₂ is 6:6. The moles of O₂ produced are 6/6 × 0.0500 mol = 0.0500 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0500 moles of O₂ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of O₂ occupies 22.4 L.

0.0500 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.12 L
