A powder contains FeSO4⋅7H2O (molar mass=278.01 g/mol), among other components. A 3.930 g sample of the powder was dissolved in

HNO3 and heated to convert all iron to Fe3+. The addition of NH3 precipitated Fe2O3⋅xH2O, which was subsequently ignited to produce 0.348 g Fe2O3. What was the mass of FeSO4⋅7H2O in the 3.930 g sample?

Answer:

The mass of FeSO4*7H2O in the sample is 1.21 grams

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Calculate moles of Fe2O3

moles of Fe2O3 = mass of Fe2O3 / Molar mass of Fe2O3

moles of Fe2O3 = 0.348 grams / 159.69 g/mole = 0.00218 moles

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate moles of Fe

4 Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

For 4 moles of Fe consumed there is 2 moles of Fe2O3 produced

This means it has a ratio 2:1

So 0.00218 moles of Fe2O3 produced , there is 2*0.00218 = 0.00436 moles of Fe consumed

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of FeSO4*7H2O

Fe + H2SO4 + 7H2O → FeSO4*7H20 + H2

For 1 mole of Fe consumed there is 1 mole of FeSO4*7H2O produced

This means for 0.00436 moles there is 0.00436 moles of Fe2SO4*H2O produced

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate the mass of FeSO4*7H2O in the sample

mass of FeSO4*7H2O = 0.00436 moles * 278.01 g/mole = 1.212 g

The mass of FeSO4*7H2O in the sample is 1.21 grams

How many liters of carbon dioxide will 0.5 moles of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) absorb?
Elden [556K]

Answer : The volume of carbon dioxide will be, 5.6122 L

Solution : Given,

Moles of LiOH = 0.5 moles

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mole

Density of carbon dioxide = 0.00196 g/ml

First we have to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide.

The balanced reaction will be,

2LiOH+CO_2\rightarrow Li_2CO_3+H_2O

From the reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of LiOH absorbs 44 grams of carbon dioxide

So, 0.5 moles of LiOH absorbs \frac{0.5moles}{2moles}\times 44g=11 grams of carbon dioxide

Mass of carbon dioxide = 11 g

Density of carbon dioxide = 0.00196 g/ml

Now we have to calculate the volume of carbon dioxide.

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

0.00196g/ml=\frac{11g}{volume}

Volume of carbon dioxide = 5612.24 ml = 5.6122 L      (1 L = 1000 ml)

Therefore, the volume of carbon dioxide will be, 5.6122 L

Which of the following can explain the daily change in sea level observed along a coast?
salantis [7]
The answer for the question above is A. the gravitational pull of the moon on the water near the coast. The sun and and the moon are responsible for the rising and falling of the ocean tides. The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun makes the water in the oceans bulge, causing a continuous change between high and low tide.

Hydrogen is a gas at a room temperature, but it is found with the alkali metals in group 1 (1A) on the periodic table. Which is
poizon [28]
Elements were grouped on their properties and behaviors, so hydrogen resides with the alkali metals in group 1 (1A) because it has only 1 valence electron, like the metals in that group.
