Answer:

0.733 mol.

Explanation:

From the balanced equation:

2Fe₂O₃ + C → Fe + 3CO₂,

It is clear that 1.0 moles of Fe₂O₃ react with 1.0 mole of C to produce 1.0 mole of Fe and 3.0 moles of CO₂.

Since Fe₂O₃ is in excess, C will be the limiting reactant.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of C produces → 3.0 moles of CO₂, from the stichiometry.

??? mole of C produces → 2.2 moles of CO₂.

∴ The no. of moles of C needed to produce 2.2 moles of CO₂ = (1.0 mole of C) (2.2 mole of CO₂) / (3.0 mole of CO₂) = 0.733 mol.

What is the mass of a titanium alloy that has a heat of fusion of 422.5 joules/gram and requires 2,960 joules of energy to melt

Marianna [84]

The mass of titanium alloy is 7.01 g

calculation

Q=mHF

where

Q(heat)= 2960 j

M(mass) = ?

Hf( heat of fusion) = 422.5 j/g

make M the subject of the formula by diving both side of equation by Hf

M=Q/Hf

M= 2960 j/422.5 j/g = 7.01 g

Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below. 2HgO Rig

BigorU [14]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, the correct answer is the third option: 15.63 moles of HgO are needed to produce 250 g of O₂.

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

2 HgO → 2 Hg + O₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

HgO: 2 moles
Hg: 2 moles
O₂: 1 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

HgO: 216.59 g/mole
Hg: 200.59 g/mole
O₂: 32 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

HgO: 2 moles× 216.59 g/mole= 433.18 grams
Hg: 2 moles× 200.59 g/mole= 401.18 grams
O₂: 1 mole× 32 g/mole= 32 grams

Then the following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 32 grams of O₂ are produced by 2 moles of HgO, 250 grams of O₂ are produced from how many moles of HgO?

$moles of HgO=\frac{250 grams of O_{2} x2 moles of HgO}{32grams of O_{2}}$

moles of HgO= 15.625 moles≅ 15.63 moles

Finally, the correct answer is the third option: 15.63 moles of HgO are needed to produce 250 g of O₂.

Which elements likely conduct electricity well ?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Chromium, calcium, and osmium

Explanation:

These elements are metals, considering this, these elements electron shells(orbitals) are further away from the nucleus, with this, their attractions are not as strong as non-metals, so some of their electrons are able to move freely.

When you accumulate many atoms, these metals can form a "sea of electrons" because they all have loose electrons interacting with each other. This allows easy conduction of heat and electricity.

Engine size is measured by how much air the cylinders displace. A 1996 Pontiac V8 has an engine size of 316.6 cubic inches. What

inna [77]

The size of this engine in cubic meters is $0.0052 m^{3}$ .

Explanation:

As it is stated that engine size can be measured depending upon the amount of air the cylinders displace, it is also stated that the engine of model Pontiac V8 has a size of 316.6 cubic inches. The problem is to convert the size of engine in cubic meters. We know that 1 inch = 0.0254 m.

Then $1 inch^{3}=(0.0254)^{3} m^{3}$

As here the size of engine is 316.6 cubic inches, then in metres it will be

$316.6 \text { inches }^{3}=316.6 \times(0.0254)^{3} \mathrm{m}^{3}=0.0052 \mathrm{m}^{3}$

Thus, the size of the engine in cubic meters will be $0.0052 m^{3}$ .

Which of the following best describes how water evaporates? *

Evgesh-ka [11]

The answer is A because water can only evaporate if a liquid substances becomes gas , in this case it’s the water. When water is heated it evaporates. The molecule moves and vibrates so quickly that they can move to the atmosphere
