Which 1-mole sample has the least entropy?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer is option 1. Entropy is the degree of disorderliness in a system. Among the phases, solid has the most ordered structure. Also, at lower temperatures the molecules will have less kinetic energy therefore less motion. Thus, bromine in solid form at 266K has the least entropy.

If 588 grams of FeS2 is allowed to react with 352 grams of O2 according to the following equation, how many grams of Fe2O3 are p

Rainbow [258]

Answer: The mass of iron (III) oxide produced is 782.5 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For $FeS_2$ :

Given mass of $FeS_2$ = 588 g

Molar mass of $FeS_2$ = 120 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }FeS_2=\frac{588g}{120g/mol}=4.9mol$

For $O_2$ :

Given mass of $O_2$ = 352 g

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }O_2=\frac{352g}{32g/mol}=11mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of $FeS_2$ and oxygen gas follows:

$FeS_2+O_2\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+SO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of $FeS_2$ reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 4.9 moles of $FeS_2$ will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4.9=4.9mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, $FeS_2$ is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of $FeS_2$ produces 1 mole of iron (III) oxide

So, 4.9 moles of $FeS_2$ will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4.9=4.9moles$ of iron (III) oxide

Now, calculating the mass of iron (III) oxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron (III) oxide = 159.7 g/mol

Moles of iron (III) oxide = 4.9 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$4.9mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron (III) oxide}}{159.7g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron (III) oxide}=(4.9mol\times 159.7g/mol)=782.5g$

Hence, the mass of iron (III) oxide produced is 782.5 grams

B) Why is aluminium extracted using electrolysis and not carbon?

Elena-2011 [213]

The extraction is done by electrolysis. The ions in the aluminium oxide must be free to move so that electricity can pass through it. Aluminium oxide has a very high melting point (over 2000°C) so it would be expensive to melt it. The use of cryolite reduces some of the energy costs involved in extracting aluminium.
