Balanced equation:

4 FeS₂ + 11 O₂ --> 2 Fe₂O₃ + 8 SO₂

---

Find the limiting reactant (the one that produces the least amount of product) :

(73.5 g FeS₂) * (1 mole FeS₂ / 119.975 g FeS₂) * (2 moles Fe₂O₃ / 4 moles FeS2) * (159.6882 g Fe₂O₃ / 1 mole Fe₂O₃)

= 48.9 g Fe₂O₃ …………. to 3 sig figs

(44 g O₂) * (1 mole O₂ / 31.9988 g O₂) * (2 moles Fe₂O₃ / 11 moles O₂) *  

(159.6882 g Fe₂O₃ / 1 mole Fe₂O₃)

= 40 g Fe₂O₃ ………………. to 2 sig figs

O₂ is the limiting reactant and the theoretical yield is 44 g Fe₂O₃

Answer:

39.925 grams of Fe2O3 are produced.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

To comply with this law, the equation must be balanced. So, in this case, the balanced equation is:

4 FeS₂ + 11 O₂ --> 2 Fe₂O₃ + 8 SO₂

  First of all it is convenient to determine the molar mass of each compound knowing the atomic mass of each element:

  • Fe: 55.85 g/mol
  • S: 32 g/mol
  • O: 16 g/mol

Then:

  • FeS₂: 55.85 g/mol + 2*32 g/mol= 119.85 g/mol
  • O₂: 2* 16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
  • Fe₂O₃: 2* 55.85 g/mol + 3*16 g/mol= 159.7 g/mol
  • SO₂: 32 g/mol+ 2*16 g/mol=  64 g/mol

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), you can see the amount in moles of reagents and products that participate in the reaction:

  • FeS₂: 4 moles
  • O₂: 11 moles
  • Fe₂O₃: 2 moles
  • SO₂: 8 moles

Knowing the molar mass of each reagent and product it is possible to determine the mass that react and are formed in the reaction:

  • FeS₂: 119.85 g/mol *4 moles= 479.4 g
  • O₂: 32 g/mol *11 moles= 352 g
  • Fe₂O₃: 159.7 g/mol *2 moles= 319.4  g
  • SO₂: 64 g/mol *8 moles= 512 g

The limiting reagent is now calculated.

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the stoichiometry of the reaction and a simple rule of three as follows:

if by stoichiometry 479.4 g of FeS₂ reacts with 352 g of O₂, if 73.5 g of FeS₂ react how many grams of O₂ will be necessary?

mass of O_{2} =\frac{73.5 g  FeS_{2} *352gO_{2} }{479.4 g  FeS_{2}}

mass of O₂≅ 53.96 g

But 53.96 grams of O₂ are not available, 44 grams are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 73.5 grams of FeS₂, oxygen O₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Then, as the reaction will stop when the limiting reagent is over, this reagent will be useful for subsequent calculations.

To determine the amount of Fe₂O₃ produced, the following rule of three applies: if by stoichiometry 352 grams of O₂ produce 319.4 grams of Fe₂O₃, 44 grams of O₂ how many grams of Fe₂O₃ will they produce?

mass of Fe_{2} O_{3} =\frac{44gO_{2}*319.4gFe_{2} O_{3}  }{352gO_{2} }

mass of Fe₂O₃=39.925 grams

<u><em>39.925 grams of Fe2O3 are produced.</em></u>

How many grams of methanol is formed by the mild oxidation of 64 grams of methane?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: 1. Introduction

ARTICLE SECTIONSJump To

Currently, there exists no industrial process capable of directly converting methane to methanol. While many processes have been explored, none to date has proven cost-effective. A consequence of the paucity of catalysts for the direct oxidation of methane to methanol is the annual flaring of 140 billion cubic meters of natural gas at remote oil drilling locations around the world, accounting for 1% of global CO2 emissions with no associated energy gains.(1) Two distinct problems are often cited as being responsible for the lack of catalysts available for such a process: the large barriers associated with activating the nonpolar and highly symmetric methane molecule and the higher relative reactivity of the desired products.(2,3) Regarding the first problem, while methane activation barriers on transition metals are generally high (ΔGa(300 K, 1 bar) > 1.2 eV),(4) several publications have highlighted nontransition metal catalysts able to activate methane at low temperatures or with low density functional theory (DFT)-predicted barriers.(5−8) However, solutions to the second problem, that of product reactivity, have proven more elusive. Even if methanol can be locally produced by a catalyst at low temperatures, it is difficult to stop its CH bonds, which have a 0.4 eV lower bond dissociation energy (BDE) than those in methane, from being further oxidized.(3,9) Indeed, an example of a continuous process able to simultaneously achieve both high methane conversion and high methanol selectivity has yet to be established, pointing to a robust selectivity–conversion trade-off.(10)

In light of this challenge, many efforts have shifted focus from catalytic to stepwise processes, in which reactant consumption and product collection are decoupled. These systems bypass the aforementioned selectivity–conversion trade-off by producing a protected methanol derivative that is less prone to further oxidation compared to free methanol. Examples in homogeneous catalysis are often quasi-catalytic, i.e., turnover number (TON) > 1, and proceed through the use of small-molecule protecting groups. For example, Periana et al. oxidized methane to a stable methyl bisulfate product that could later be hydrolyzed to yield methanol and sulfuric acid.(11,12) However, these systems are limited by expensive oxidants and the cost of recycling protecting groups. Similarly, it was found that metal-exchanged zeolites, which had previously achieved methanol yields of ∼3% (64% CH3OH selectivity; 5% CH4 conversion) in the catalytic process,(13) could unlock higher methanol selectivities (∼98%) when used as heterogeneous protecting groups to oxidize methane to methanol stoichiometrically (TON = 1).(14−18) Such processes typically involve three steps: zeolite activation at high temperatures (∼450 °C), stoichiometric methane oxidation at lower temperatures (∼150 °C), and methanol recovery by flowing water (∼150 °C).(15) Unfortunately, this energy-intensive temperature cycling in combination with the expensive oxidizing agents required to reactivate the catalyst and low methanol yields per cycle tend to limit the practical application of these approaches.(10)

A 4.00 (±0.01) mL Class A transfer pipet is used to transfer 4.00 mL of a 0.302 (±0.004) M Cu2+ stock solution to a 100.00 (±0.0
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

concentration of diluted solution = 0.0125 ( ± 0.0002)M

Uncertainty = ± 0.0002  

Explanation:

Given that

Initial volume of Cu2+ = 4.00 (±0.01) mL

Initial molarity 0f Cu2+ = 0.302 (±0.004) M

transferred to  100.00 (±0.08) Class A volumetric flask

first we get amount of water added

100.00 (±0.08) - 4.00 (±0.01)  = 96 ± (0.09)

Now according to  law of dilution

The concentration of Cu2+ after adding water

M1V1 = M2V2

we substitute

0.302 (±0.004) * 4.00 (±0.01) = x * 96 ± (0.09)

Now the multiplication of two digits with uncertainty is

(0.004/0.302) * 100 =  1.32% ;    (0.01/4.00) * 100 = 0.25%

= [0.302 ( ± 1.32% )] * [ 4.00 ± (0.25%)]

= 1.208 ±(1.57%)

1.57/100 * 1.208 = 0.0189

so

= (1.208 ± 0.0189)

now substitute in our previous equation

1.208 ± (0.0189) = x * 96 ± (0.09)

x = 1.208 ± (0.0189) / 96 ± (0.09)

{ 0.09/96 * 100 = 0.094% }

so x = 1.208 ± (1.57%) / 96 ± (0.094% )  

x = 0.0125 ± ( 1.664)

now( 1.664/100 * 0.0125)

= ± 0.000208

Hence

concentration of diluted solution = 0.0125 ( ± 0.0002)M

Uncertainty = ± 0.0002
