Answer:

The electron cloud

Explanation:

<em>Rutherford’s gold foil experiment</em> showed that the atom consisted of a tiny nucleus inside of a much larger electron cloud.

The diameter of the electron cloud is about 50 000 times that of the nucleus.

Answer:

The answer is "6.52 kg and 13.1 kg"

Explanation:

For point a:

$Actual\ yield = 6.52 \ kg\\\\Percent \ yield= 66\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100 \%\\\\Theoretical\ yield \ of \ MnO_2 = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\=\frac{6.52 \ kg}{66 \%} \times 100\% =9.88 \ kg\\\\$

Equation:

$3MnCO_3 +O_2 \longrightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2CO_2\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnCO_3$

$= 9.88 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ MnO_2}{86.94 \ g} \times \frac{2 \ Mol \ MnCO_3}{2 \ mol \ MnO_2} \times \frac{114.95\ g}{1 \ mol \ MnCO_3 }\times \frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g}\\\\= 13.1 \ kg$

For point b:

$Actual\ yield = 4.0 \ kg\\\\Percent\ yield=97.0\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield} \times 100 \% \\\\Theoretical \ yield\ of\ Mn = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\$

$=\frac{4.0 \ kg}{97.0\%} \times 100\% =4.12 \ kg$

Equation:

$3MnO_2 +4AL \longrightarrow 3Mn + 2AL_2O_3\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnO_2:$

$= 4.12 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{54.94 \ g} \times \frac{3 \ Mol \ MnO_2}{3 \ mol \ Mn} \times \frac{86.94 \ g}{1 \ mol \ MnO_2 }\\\\= 6516 \ g \\\\=6.52 \ kg\\\\$

The following balanced equation describes the reduction of iron(III) oxide to molten iron within a blast furnace: Fe2O3(s) + 3CO

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ----> 2Fe + 3CO₂

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 160 g/mol;

Molar mass of Carbon (ii) oxide = 28 g/mol

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 moles of carbon (ii) oxide; i.e. 160 g of iron (iii) oxide reacts with 84 g (3 * 28 g) of carbon (ii) oxide

450 g of Fe₂O₃ will react with 450 * 84/180) g of carbon (ii) oxide = 236..25 g of carbon (ii) oxide

Therefore the excess reactant is carbon (ii) oxide.

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 260 - 236.25

Amount of excess Carbon (ii) oxide left over = 23.75 g
