Answer:

D) 5.5 g Fe₂S₃.

Explanation:

  • The balanced chemical reaction is: 16Fe(s) + 3S₈(s) → 8Fe₂S₃(s)
  • It is clear that 16.0 mole of Fe reacts completely with 3.0 moles of S₈ to produce 8.0 moles of Fe₂S₃.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of the reacted Fe filings (3.0 g) and yellow sulfur solid (2.5 g).

No. of moles of Fe filings (3.0 g) = mass /atomic mass = (3.0 g) / (55.845 g/mol) = 0.0537 mol.

No. of moles of yellow sulfur solid (2.5 g) = mass / molar mass = (2.5 g) / (256.52 g/mol) = 0.009746 mol.

  • We need to determine the limiting reactant,

The theoretical ratio of (Fe: S₈) is (16: 3) which is 5.333.

The actual ratio of the reactants (Fe:S₈) is (0.0537 mol: 0.009746 mol) which is 5.5.

  • This means that Fe is found with a slight increase and S₈ is the limiting reactant.
  • Now, we can calculate the no. of moles of produced Fe₂S₃;

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

3.0 moles of S₈ produces<em><u> </u></em>→ 8.0 moles of Fe₂S₃, from the stichiometry,

0.009746 moles of S₈ produces → ??? moles of Fe₂S₃.

  • The no. of moles of the produced Fe₂S₃ = (8.0 mol)(0.009746 mol) / (3.0 mol) = 0.026 mol.
  • Finally, we can get the mass of the the produced Fe₂S₃.

The mass of the the produced Fe₂S₃ =  no. of moles x molar mass = (0.026 mol)(207.9 g/mol) = 5.405 g ≅ 5.5 g.

In the determining molar volume experiment, we will use water. how will vapor pressure play a role in this experiment?
Bas_tet [7]
Molar volume is a property of a component in a solution. It is defined as the volume occupied by one mole of the component in the closed system. You would not expect all solutions to execute volume additivity because intermolecular forces between the components come into play. There is no such thing as conservation of volume. 

Vapor pressure affects molar volume because gases are very sensitive by these process conditions. Vapor pressure is very temperature-dependent. Consequently, at a different temperature, your component could expand or compress, thus, affecting the molar volume. Moreover, the pressure affects the molecular collisions in the system.

5. Which are physical properties of a property of Aluminum metal?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Aluminum is a shiny, silvery white colored metal that is light in weight and strong. Th density of aluminum is 2.7 g/mL, which means the metal will sink in water, but is still relatively light

Hope this helps (:

Mark me brainliest if its good for you :D take care.
