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.

The mass of a block is 12 g and the volume is 6 ml. Calculate the density of the block.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

According to mass and volume,  block density is 2 g/ml

Explanation:

Density is a measure, usually used in physics and chemistry, that relates the mass and volume of a solid or compound.

In general terms, the density is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the volume, so increasing the mass will also increase the density.

The formula used to calculate the density is

ρ = \frac{m}{V}

Therefore, according to the mass and density of the block

ρ = \frac{12}{6} = 2g/ml

Being the density of the block equal to 2 g/ml.

<em>The other options are not possible, because the values given do not correspond to the result of the equation.</em>

Decide which element probably has a boiling point most and least similar to the boiling point of potassium.
larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

  • The boiling point of Potassium is most similar to the element sodium , since , both the elements belong to the same group i.e. , the group one , Hence , the most of the physical chemical properties are same , irrespective of some exceptions .

Hence , the Boiling point of Potassium and sodium are the same .

  • The boiling point of Potassium is least similar to the element helium , since , both the elements belong to different groups , Since , Helium has a negative boiling point and is one of the most stable element , being a noble gas .
