One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, in which iron ore is converted to cast iron, is Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 Su

ppose that 1.79 × 103 kg of Fe is obtained from a 2.86 × 103 kg sample of Fe2O3. Assuming that the reaction goes to completion, what is the percent purity of Fe2O3 in the original sample?

Answer : The percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample is 87.94 %

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

Fe_2O3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

First we have to calculate the mass of Fe.

\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe}{\text{Molar mass of }Fe}

Molar mass of Fe = 55.8 g/mole

\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{1.79\times 10^3kg}{55.8g/mole}=\frac{1.79\times 10^3\times 1000g}{55.8g/mole}=3.15\times 10^4mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of Fe_2O_3

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of Fe produced from 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 3.15\times 10^4mole of Fe produced from \frac{3.15\times 10^4}{2}=15750 mole of Fe_2O_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of Fe_2O_3

\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{ Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3

Molar mass of Fe_2O_3 = 159.69 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(15750moles)\times (159.69g/mole)=2.515\times 10^6g=2.515\times 10^3kg

Now we have to calculate the percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample.

Mass of original sample = 2.86\times 10^3kg

\text{Percent purity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100

\text{Percent purity}=\frac{2.515\times 10^3kg}{2.86\times 10^3kg}\times 100=87.94\%

Therefore, the percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample is 87.94 %

The pH of a solution is 5.0. To a 10 ml of this
mylen [45]

Answer:

pH = 7

Explanation:

pH is defined as -log [H⁺]. In a solution of pH 5:

pH = -log [H⁺]

10^(-5) = [H⁺]

1x10⁻⁵M = [H⁺].

Then, this solution is diluted from 10mL to 1000mL (990mL of water + 10mL of the original solution). That means the solution is diluted:

1000mL / 10mL / 100 times.

If [H⁺] before dilution was 1x10⁻⁵M, after dilution will be:

1x10⁻⁵M / 100 = 1x10⁻⁷M

And pH:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 1x10⁻⁷M

<h3>pH = 7</h3>

Since the half-life of 235U (7. 13 x 108 years) is less than that of 238U (4.51 x 109 years), the isotopic abundance of 235U has
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}

Explanation:

Given that:

The Half-life of ^{235}U = 7.13 \times 10^8 \ years is less than that of ^{238} U = 4.51 \times 10^9 \ years

Although we are not given any value about the present weight of ^{235}U.

So, consider the present weight in the percentage of ^{235}U to be  y%

Then, the time elapsed to get the present weight of ^{235}U = t_1

Therefore;

N_1 = N_o e^{-\lambda \ t_1}

here;

N_1 = Number of radioactive atoms relating to the weight of y of ^{235}U

Thus:

In( \dfrac{N_1}{N_o}) = - \lambda t_1

In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) =  \lambda t_1 --- (1)

However, Suppose the time elapsed from the initial stage to arrive at the weight of the percentage of ^{235}U to be = t_2

Then:

In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) =  \lambda t_2  ---- (2)

here;

N_2 =  Number of radioactive atoms of ^{235}U relating to 3.0 a/o weight

Now, equating  equation (1) and (2) together, we have:

In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) -In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) =  \lambda( t_1-t_2)

replacing the half-life of ^{235}U = 7.13 \times 10^8 \ years

In( \dfrac{N_2}{N_1})  = \dfrac{In 2}{7.13 \times 10^9}( t_1-t_2)      ( since \lambda = \dfrac{In 2}{t_{1/2}} )

∴

\mathtt{In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2}= t_1-t_2}

The time elapsed signifies how long the isotopic abundance of 235U equal to 3.0 a/o

Thus, The time elapsed is  \mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}

A sample of 250 g of water are heated from 40°C to 121°C, calculate the amount of heat energy absorbed.
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the anwser isn't in the choices

Explanation:

H=MC(change of temp.)

M=mass of water=250g

C=specific heat of water = 4.186 j/g

change in temperature is 121-40= 81

H= 250x4.186x81=84766.5J
