<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>

Read the chemical equation. Fe2O3 + CO → Fe + CO2 If 2 moles of Fe2O3 react with 9 moles of CO, how many moles of each product a
cluponka [151]

Answer:

4 moles Fe and 6 moles CO2 are the moles of each products formed

Explanation:

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

1st step Ballance the equation. Afterwards, you can work properly

1 mol of Fe2O3 reacts with 3 moles of CO to make 2 moles of Fe and 3 moles of CO2

2nd step Predict the reactant in excess and limitant reagent.

If 1 moles of Fe2O3 reacts with 3 moles of CO

2 moles of Fe2O3 reacts with 6 moles of CO     (2.3) /1

I have 9 moles of CO, so the Fe2O3 is my limitant reagent.

<u><em>REMEMBER</em></u> you always have to work with the limitant.

If 3 moles of CO reacts with 1 mol of Fe2O3

9 moles of CO reacts with 3 moles of Fe2O3     (9.1) /3

I have 2 moles of Fe2O3, so I still have Fe2O3, by the way the CO is the reactant in excess. (Just to show all)

3rd step Work with the limitant reagent.

1 mol of Fe2O3 ___ makes____ 2 moles of Fe  +  3 moles of CO

2 mol of Fe2O3 ___ makes ___ 4 moles of Fe  +  6 moles of CO

What did Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms ?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Their positive charge is located in the small nucleus

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment in 1911 where he used alpha particles generated from a radioactive source to bombard a thin gold foil.

In his experiment, he observed that the bulk of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil, just a tiny fraction was deflected back. To explain his findings, Rutherford proposed that an atom is made of positively charged centre where nearly all the mass is concentrated called nucleus. Surrounding the nucleus is a large space containing electrons.

How many moles of HCl are required to completely neutralize 0.30 moles of Ca(OH)2?
hammer [34]
Each mole of Ca(OH)₂ will produce 2 moles of OH- ions

Each mole of OH- ions will require one mole of H+ ions

Thus,
moles of OH- ions = moles of H+ ions = 2 x 0.3
moles of H+ ions required = 0.6

Each mole of HCl will produce one mole of H+ ions
Moles of HCl = moles of H+ ions
Moles of HCl = 0.6
