What defines the mass number of an isotope

1 answer:

8 0

The mass number of an isotope is determined by the number of neutrons in the isotope plus the number of protons.
For instance Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon. The "13" is the mass number of the isotope.
So, in this example, 13 = #protons + #neutrons

Answer: 1.8 moles Fe and 2.7 moles $CO_2$ are produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2$

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of $CO$ require 1 mole of $Fe_2O_3$

Thus 2.7 moles of $CO$ will require= $\frac{1}{3}\times 2.7=0.9moles$ of $Fe_2O_3$

Thus $CO$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $Fe_2O_3$ is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of $CO$ give = 2 moles of $Fe$ and 3 moles of $CO_2$

Thus 2.7 moles of $CO$ will give = $\frac{2}{3}\times 2.7=1.8moles$ of $Fe$ and $\frac{3}{3}\times 2.7=2.7moles$ of $CO_2$

Thus 1.8 moles Fe and 2.7 moles $CO_2$ are produced.

What is the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon whose molar mass is 536 g/mol and contains 89.55 w/w% carbon?

leonid [27]

Given the percentage composition of HC as C → 81.82 % and H → 18.18 %

So the ratio of number if atoms of C and H in its molecule can will be:

C : H = 81.82 12 : 18.18 1 C : H = 6.82 : 18.18 = 6.82 6.82 : 18.18 6.82 = 1 : 2.66 ≈ 3 : 8

So the Empirical Formula of hydrocarbon is:

C 3 H 8

As the mass of one litre of hydrocarbon is same as that of C O 2 The molar mass of the HC will be same as that of C O 2 i.e 44 g mol

Now let Molecular formula of the HC be ( C 3 H 8 ) n

Using molar mass of C and H the molar mass of the HC from its molecular formula is:

( 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 ) n = 44 n So 44 n = 44 ⇒ n = 1

Hence the molecular formula of HC is C 3 H 8

Does that help?
