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.

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?
Kipish [7]
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>

X2o3 express you answer as a whole number
kobusy [5.1K]
 <span>2.40 - 1.68 =0.72 g of oxigen 
moles = 0.72/16 g/mol=0.045 

moles x = 1.68/ 55.9=0.03 

0.03/0.03 = 1 = x 
0.045 / 0.03 = 1.5 = O 

to get whole numbers multiply by 2 

x2O3 

X2O3 +3 CO = 2 X + 3 CO2</span>
