There are at least two ways to look at this.

Method One :
The Zn in Zinc Cyanide belongs to valency two while the CN radical
belongs to valency one. As a result, you would need two CN radicals
to bond with the Zn to make it a stable compound. Hence the formula
being Zn(CN)₂

Method Two :
Since the mole of zinc is 4.7 mol and that of CN is 9.5 mol then that
means that there is twice as much moles of CN as there is Zinc
4.7 mol × 2 = 9. 4 mol. Thus the formula would be Zn(CN)₂

If you start with 227.8 grams of iron and 128 grams of oxygen to produce iron oxide, what is the limiting reagent?

agasfer [191]

The balanced chemical equation between iron and oxygen to produce iron (III) oxide is,

$4Fe(s) + 3O_{2}(g) ---> 2Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)$

Mass of Fe = 227.8 g

Moles of Fe = $227.8 g Fe * \frac{1 mol Fe}{55.85 g Fe} = 4.079 mol Fe$

Mass of oxygen = 128 g

Moles of $O_{2} = 128 g O_{2}*\frac{1 mol O_{2}}{32 g O_{2}}= 4mol O_{2}$

Calculating the limiting reactant: The reactant that produces the least amount of product will be the limiting reactant.

Mass of iron (III) oxide produced from Iron = $4.079 mol Fe * \frac{2 mol Fe_{2}O_{3}}{4 mol Fe} *\frac{159.69 g Fe_{2}O_{3}}{1 mol Fe_{2}O_{3}} = 325.7 g Fe_{2}O_{3}$

Mass of iron (III) oxide produced from oxygen= $4 mol O_{2}*\frac{2 molFe_{2}O_{3}}{3 mol O_{2}}*\frac{159.69 g Fe_{2}O_{3}}{1 mol Fe_{2}O_{3}} = 425.84 g Fe_{2}O_{3}$

Iron (Fe) produces the least amount of the product iron (III) oxide. So, Fe is the limiting reactant.

Four nails have a total mass of 4.42 grams how many moles of iron atoms do they contain

deff fn [24]

Answer:4.42 g= 1 mol/55.845 =.079 moles of Fe

Explanation:Given 4.42 grams of Fe. The atomic weight of Fe(iron) found on the periodic table is 55.845. Divide grams by the atomic weight to convert to moles.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

sp²

Explanation:

You need to look at how many electron orbitals around the atom. Looking at the structure below, you can see that there are three electron orbitals. This gives you an sp² hybridization.
