\frac{55.845}{119.975} or 46.55%

Explanation:

 Formula of pyrite = FeS₂

 Problem:

Weight fraction of Fe in FeS₂

Solution

  Atomic mass of Fe = 55.845g/mol

  Atomic mass of S = 32.065g/mol

     To find the weight fraction of Fe in FeS₂:

     Weight fraction = \frac{atomic mass of Fe}{molar  mass of [tex]FeS_{2}}[/tex]

   molar mass of FeS₂ = [55.845 + 2(32.065)] = 119.975g/mol

Weight fraction of Fe = \frac{55.845}{119.975}

    As a percentage, weight fraction of Fe = 46.55%

Why are Berg winds described as being dry​
solmaris [256]

Answer:  The berg winds are described as being dry because of extensive heat in South Africa.

Explanation:

When the air that has been heated on the extensive central plateau flows down the escarpment to the coast it undergoes further warming by adiabatic processes. This accounts for the hot and dry properties of these off-shore winds, wherever they occur along South Africa's coastline.

Why Carbon monoxide is more harmful than carbon dioxide?
Ivanshal [37]
CO is poisionous and CO2 is non toxic in nature.
CO forms complex with haemoglobin which is more stable than complex of oxygen with haemoglobin. The concentration range of 3-4 % of CO decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. This causes headache, weak eyesight, nervousness and cardiovascular disorders. Higher concentration can be fatal. CO2 is harmful at a very high concentration.
