Fe2O3 + 3CO --------> 2Fe + CO2
1 : 3 : 2 : 3
13.3 <--- 40 ------> 26.6 ---> 40 ( mol)
n = m/M
m CO2 = n.M = 13.3 . 40 = 532 ( g)
p/s : i hope that this will help ( cause i'm not really good at english :}}} )
Given a mole each for iron and magnesium, the number of atoms of each element is equal. Iron has a greater mass due to its greater molecular weight. The correct statement among the choices is D.
Answer:
A) 54.04%
B) 13-karat
Explanation:
A) From the problem we have
<em>1)</em> Mg + Ms = 9.40 g
<em>2)</em> Vg + Vs = 0.675 cm³
Where M stands for mass, V stands for volume, and g and s stand for gold and silver respectively.
We can rewrite the first equation using the density values:
<em>3)</em> Vg * 19.3 g/cm³ + Vs * 10.5 g/cm³ = 9.40
So now we have<em> a system of two equations</em> (2 and 3) <em>with two unknowns</em>:
We <u>express Vg in terms of Vs</u>:
We <u>replace the value of Vg in equation 3</u>:
- Vg * 19.3 + Vs * 10.5 = 9.40
- (0.675-Vs) * 19.3 + Vs * 10.5 = 9.40
- 13.0275 - 19.3Vs + 10.5Vs = 9.40
Now we <u>calculate Vg</u>:
- Vg + 0.412 cm³ = 0.675 cm³
We <u>calculate Mg from Vg</u>:
- 0.263 cm³ * 19.3 g/cm³ = 5.08 g
We calculate the mass percentage of gold:
- 5.08 / 9.40 * 100% = 54.04%
B)
We multiply 24 by the percentage fraction:
- 24 * 54.04/100 = 12.97-karat ≅ 13-karat
