Assuming that nitrogen gas is ideal, we can use the equation PV = nRT to relate first conditions to the second condition. At constant temperature, pressure and volume are indirectly related as follows:
P = k / V
k is equal nRT
P1V1 = P2V2
P2 = 101.325 ( 4.65 ) / .480 = 981.586 kPa
Answer:
The answer to your question is 160 g of Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
Data
mass of Fe = 112 g
mass of CO = in excess
mass of Fe₂O₃ = ?
Balanced chemical reaction
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂
Process
1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and Fe
Molar mass Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 112 + 48 = 160 g
atomic mass of Fe = 56
2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed
160 g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------- 2(56) g of Fe
x g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------ 112 g of Fe
x = (112 x 160) / 2(56)
x = 17920/112
x = 160 g of Fe₂O₃
A reaction mechanism must ultimately be understood as a "blow-by-blow" description of the molecular-level events whose sequence leads from reactants to products. These elementary steps (also called elementary reactions) are almost always very simple ones involving one, two, or [rarely] three chemical species which are classified
It is common knowledge that chemical reactions occur more rapidly at higher temperatures. Everyone knows that milk turns sour much more rapidly if stored at room temperature rather than in a refrigerator, butter goes rancid more quickly in the summer than in the winter, and eggs hard-boil more quickly at sea level than in the mountains. For the same reason, cold-blooded animals such as reptiles and insects tend to be noticeably more lethargic on cold days.
Thermal energy relates direction to motion at the molecular level. As the temperature rises, molecules move faster and collide more vigorously, greatly increasing the likelihood of bond cleavages and rearrangements as described above.
