<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. CH₃O₆

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • We are given the ratio of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a compound as 14: 42 : 84

We are supposed to determine the empirical formula of the compound;

  • We need to know what is an empirical formula;
  • An empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound.

In this case;

The ratio of C : H : O is 14 : 42 : 84

  • Note, this is not the simplest ratio.

But we can simplify further to get the simplest whole number ratio;

  • Therefore, 14 : 42 : 84  is equal to 1 : 3 : 6
  • Thus, the simplest whole number ratio of C : H : O in the compound is 1 : 3 : 6
  • Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is CH₃O₆

Iron is extracted from its ore (hematite) in the blast furnace. Which gas is produced as a waste product?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

CO2

Explanation:

CO2 or carbon dioxide is produced when iron is extracted from its ore. Carbon monoxide Co is used as reducing agent in iron extraction. In this reaction iron ore is reduced to iron and CO is oxidized to CO2 or carbon dioxide which is released in the process. There extraction of iron is redox reaction.

If 15.00 mL of 0.0100 M Ca(IO3)2 solution are mixed with 0.500 g KI, what is the theoretical yield (in grams) of I2?
n200080 [17]

The theoretical yield of I2 in the reaction would be 0.23 g

<h3>Theoretical yield</h3>

This refers to the stoichiometric yield of a reaction.

From the equation of the reaction:

Ca(IO3)2 + 10 KI + 12 HCl → 6 I2 + CaCl2 + 10 KCl + 6 H2O

The mole ratio of Ca(IO3)2 and I2 is 1: 6

Mole of 15.00 mL, 0.0100 M Ca(IO3)2 = 15/1000 x 0.0100

                                                              = 0.00015 mole

Equivalent mole of I2 = 0.00015 x 6

                                      = 0.009 mole

mass of 0.0009 I2 = 0.0009 x 253.809

                                = 0.23 g
