Answer:

Mass of iron oxide: 79.85 g  

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron = 112 g

Mass of O₂ = 24 g

Mass of iron oxide formed = ?

Solution:

4Fe + 3O₂         →       2Fe₂O₃

Number of moles of Fe:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 112 g/ 55.85 g/mol

Number of moles =  2 mol

Number of moles of O₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 24 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles =  0.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and iron with iron oxide.

                 Fe           :             Fe₂O₃

                 4             :                2

                 2             :                2/4×2 =  1

                O₂            :             Fe₂O₃

                 3             :                2

                 0.75       :                2/3×0.75 =  0.5

The number of moles of iron oxide formed by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of iron oxide:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.5 mol  × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 79.85 g

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg

weeeeeb [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A brick has a mass of 4.0 kg and the earth has a mass of 6.0\times 10^{27}g Use this information to answer the questions below. Be sure your answers have the correct number of significant digits. What is the mass of 1 mole of bricks? Round your answer to 2 significant digits. How many moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: The mass of 1 mole of bricks is 2.4\times 10^{27}g

2.5 moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Mass of 1 brick = 4.0 kg = 4000 g     (1kg=1000g)

Thus mass of 1 mole of brick or 6.023\times 10^{23} bricks will be = \frac{4000g}{1}\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=2.4\times 10^{27}g

The mass of 1 mole of bricks is 2.4\times 10^{27}g

Now 2.4\times 10^{27}g will correspond to = 1 mole of bricks

6.0\times 10^{27}g will correspond to =\frac{1}{2.4\times 10^{27}}\times 6.0\times 10^{27}=2.5moles

2.5 moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth
