Answer:

Fe₃Si₇

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

Fe: 46.01%

Si: 53.99%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238

Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1

Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33

Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.

Fe: 1 × 3 = 3

Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7

The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. How much energy (in kJ) is released b

brilliants [131]

Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, oxygen, to give off combustion products and heat. Complete combustion results when all of the fuel is consumed to form carbon dioxide and water, as in the case of a hydrocarbon fuel. Incomplete combustion results when insufficient oxygen reacts with the fuel, forming soot and carbon monoxide.

The complete combustion of propane proceeds through the following reaction:
$C_{3} H_{8}$ + $5O_{2}$ --> $3CO_{2}$ + $4H_{2}O$

Combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means that it gives off heat as the reaction proceeds. For the complete combustion of propane, the heat of combustion is (-)2220 kJ/mole, where the minus sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 grams/mole. Using this value, the number of moles propane to be burned can be determined from the mass of propane given. Afterwards, this number of moles is multiplied by the heat of combustion to give the total heat produced from the reaction of the given mass of propane.

14.50 kg propane x <u> 1000 g </u> x <u> 1 mole propane </u> x <u> 2220 kJ </u>
1 kg 44.1 g 1 mole

= 729,931.97 kJ

Which type of wires (copper, aluminum, or string) are ferromagnetic metals and why?

nalin [4]

Answer: Copper isn't ferromagnetic,

Aluminum isn't ferromagnetic,

String has a ferromagnetic property

Explanation: first of all it is important to understand that all materials have diamagnetic effect.

From this we can explain two distinct property which is Paramagnetism and Ferromagnetism.

1.What do we understand by a paramagnetic material?

Ans- this describes a material that doesn't retain it's magnetic property even when the magnetic field has been removed, an example is Aluminum.

2. Ferromagnetic materials describes those type of materials that even after the removal of magnetic field retains it's magnetism. A good example of this is Iron, nickel etc.

By definition ferromagnetism is a basic property ( which depends on temperature, crystal Structure, chemical composition, etc.) That gives a material that attraction to magnet's and can form permanent magnet.

So from the examples listed in the question,

1. copper doesn't follow as a ferromagnetic material because it requires so much magnetic field to operate and is so weakly magnetized.

2. We already established aluminium as a paramagnetic material because of its weak ability to retain magnetism in the absence of magnetic field.

3. String because of its component which is (iron+carbon) has the ability to form ferrous metals.

The double replacement reaction

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction if Na₂S + HCl

Required

Type of reaction

Solution

The double replacement reaction occurs when there is a displacement of the cations and anions of the reactants involved in the reaction to form two new compounds.

The general formula for this reaction :

AB + CD ⇒ AD + CB

At the bottom of the reaction, it is shown the number of atoms of each compound in the reactants and products which indicates the application of <em>the law of conservation of mass</em>, that the number of atoms in the reactants will be the same as the number of atoms in the product, so the reaction is said to be in a balanced state.
