Answer:

Fe₃Si₇

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

Fe: 46.01%

Si: 53.99%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238

Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1

Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33

Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.

Fe: 1 × 3 = 3

Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7

The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.

Rank the following molecules (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) in the order that they melt.
Daniel [21]

Sodium chloride has the highest melting point while iodine has the least melting point.

The melting points of solid substances depends on the nature of intermolecular forces that exists in the substance. The stronger the magnitude of intermolecular forces in a substance, the higher its melting point.

The order of melting points of the solids shown in question is as follows;

  • 1st - Sodium chloride
  • 2nd - sucrose
  • 3rd - paraffin
  • 4th - Iodine

Sodium chloride has the highest melting points because it is an ionic substance. Among the molecular sucrose and paraffin, sucrose has a higher melting point than sucrose because it has a greater molar mass. Iodine, a molecular substance has the least molar mass and the least melting point in the list.

An intravenous infusion is to contain 15 mEq of potassium ion and 20 mEq of sodium ion in 500 mL of 5% dextrose injection. Using
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

To supply the required ions it is necessary to inject 5,6mL of 6g/30mL solution and 131,1 mL of 0,9% solution.

Explanation:

1mEq of sodium are 59mg of NaCl and 1mEq of potassium are 75mg KCl

in intravenous infusion 15 mEq of K are:

15x75mg KCl = 1,125g of KCl

And 20 mEq of Na are:

20x59mg NaCl = 1,18g of NaCl

To supply the potassium ion it is necessary to inject:

1,125g of KCl×\frac{30mL}{6g} =<em> 5,6mL  of 6g/30mL solution</em>

And, to supply the sodium ion it is necessary to inject:

1,18g of NaCl×\frac{100mL}{0,9g} = <em>131,1 mL of 0,9% solution</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

“Dry ice” is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Determine the number of mass of CO2 gas in grams that are present in 61.8 L of CO
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Mass  = 121 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass in gram of CO₂ = ?

Volume = 61.8 L

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

Solution:

Formula:

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 61.8 L = n ×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 273.15 k

61.8 L.atm = 22.42 atm.L/ mol × n

n = 61.8 L.atm /22.42 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.76 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass =  number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2.76 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass  = 121 g

An unbalanced equation is shown. In this reaction, 200.0 g of FeS2 is burned in 100.0 g of oxygen, and 55.00 g of Fe2O3 is produ
Crazy boy [7]
<span>4FeS2 + 11O2 = 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2</span>

Percent yield is calculated as the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.

Actual yield = 55 g ( 1 mol / 159.69 g ) = 0.34 mol Fe2O3

To find for the theoretical yield, we first determine the limiting reactant.

100 g O2 ( 1 mol / 32 g) = 3.13 mol O2
200 g FeS2 (1 mol / 119.98g) = 1.67 mol FeS2

Therefore, the limiting reactant is O2.

Theoretical yield = 3.13 mol O2 ( 2 mol Fe2O3 / 11 mol O2 ) = 0.57 mol Fe2O3

Percent yield = (0.34 mol / 0.57 mol) x 100 = 59.74%
