A compound is analyzed and found to contain 22.10%Al, 25.40%P, and 52.50%O

Let the total mass of compound = 100g

The mass of Aluminum = 22.10 g

Moles of Al = mass / atomic mass = 22.10 /23= 0.96

The mass of P = 25.40 g

Moles of P = 25.40 / 31 = 0.819

The mass of oxygen  = 52.50 g

Moles of oxygen = 52.50 / 16= 3.28

The mole ratio of the two elements will be

Al = 0.96/0.819 = 1.17

P = 0.819/0.819 = 1

O = 3.28 / 0.819 = 4

The whole number ratio will be 1 : 1 : 4

So formula will be AlPO4

how many moles of iron will be produced from 6.20 moles of carbon monoxide reacting with excess iron (III) oxide (FeO3) to produ
Gelneren [198K]

0.20 moles of iron will be formed in the reaction.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide to form Fe is to be known first.

the balanced reaction is :

Fe2O3 + 3CO⇒ 2 Fe + 3 CO2

so from the data given the number of moles of carbon monoxide can be known:

3 moles of CO reacted with Fe2O3 to form 2 moles of iron in the reaction.

Number of moles of CO is 6.20 moles

11.6 gm of iron is formed

so the number of moles of iron formed is calculated as

n = mass of iron ÷ atomic weight of iron

  = 11.6 ÷ 55.84

  = 0.20 moles of iron will be formed when 11.6 gram of iron is produced.
