Answer:

Because of the ground above and the molten iron core.

Explanation:

As you go deeper into the earth you have more and more of the earth above you that applies pressure on you. The heat near the very top of the plate is relatively low and it decreases by a little as you go down. But once you start to go down into the earth by hundreds of meters then the temperature starts to rise and it rises pretty quickly due to the heat being transferred from the molten iron outer core of the earth.

One of the reactions in a blast furnace used to reduce iron is shown above. How many grams of Fe2O3 are required to produce 15.5

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.1 g

Solution : Given,

Mass of iron = 15.5 g

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mole

Molar mass of $Fe_2O_3$ = 160 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of iron.

$\text{Moles of Fe}=\frac{\text{Mass of Fe}}{\text{Molar mass of Fe}}=\frac{15.5g}{56g/mole}=0.276moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Fe_2O_3$ .

The balanced reaction is,

$Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2$

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of iron obtained from 1 mole of $Fe_2O_3$

So, 0.276 moles of iron obtained from $\frac{0.276}{2}=0.138$ mole of $Fe_2O_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $Fe_2O_3$

$\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3$

$\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(0.138mole)\times (160g/mole)=22.08g=22.1g$

Therefore, the amount of $Fe_2O_3$ required are, 22.1 grams.

A marathon covers a distance of 26.2 miles. If 1 mile is equivalent to exactly 1760 yards, what is the distance of the race in y

Contact [7]

Both mile and yard are units of distance thus they are inter convertible.

Distance covered in a marathon is 26.2 miles.

Since, 1 mile=1760 yards

Thus, distance can be converted into yards using the following conversion factor:

$\frac{1760 yards}{1 mile}$

Thus, distance covered in marathon in yard will be:

$d=26.2 mile(\frac{1760 yards}{1 mile})=46112 yards$

Therefore, distance of the race is 46112 yards.
