<h3>Answer:</h3>

Theoretical mass = 17.42 g

Percent yield of Fe = 86.11%

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between iron (iii) oxide and carbon monoxide is given by;

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

We are required to calculate the theoretical yield and the percentage yield of Iron.

Step 1: Moles of iron (iii) oxide

Moles are given by dividing the mass of the compound by the molar mass.

Molar mass of Iron(iii) oxide = 159.69 g/mol

Moles of Iron(III) oxide = 25 g ÷ 159.69 g/mol

                                     = 0.156 moles

Step 2: Moles of Iron produced

From the equation 1 mole of Iron(iii) oxide reacts to produce 2 moles of Fe.

Therefore, the mole ratio of Fe₂O₃ to Fe is 1 : 2.

Thus, moles of Fe = Moles of Fe₂O₃ × 2

                              = 0.156 moles × 2

                              = 0.312 moles

Step 3: Theoretical mass of iron produced

To calculate the mass of iron we multiply the number of moles of iron with the relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass = 55.845

Mass of iron = 0.312 moles × 55.845

                    = 17.42 g

Step 4: Percent yield of iron

% yield = (Actual mass ÷ Theoretical mass)×100

            = (15 g ÷ 17.42 g) × 100 %

            = 86.11%

A 25.0 ml sample of 0.150 m benzoic acid is titrated with a 0.150 m naoh solution. what is the ph at the equivalence point? the
Ad libitum [116K]

Solution:

At the equivalence point, moles NaOH = moles benzoic acid  

HA + NaOH ==> NaA + H2O where HA is benzoic acid  

At the equivalence point, all the benzoic acid ==> sodium benzoate  

A^- + H2O ==> HA + OH- (again, A^- is the benzoate anion and HA is the weak acid benzoic acid)  

Kb for benzoate = 1x10^-14/4.5x10^-4 = 2.22x10^-11  

Kb = 2.22x10^-11 = [HA][OH-][A^-] = (x)(x)/0.150  

x^2 = 3.33x10^-12  

x = 1.8x10^-6 = [OH-]  

pOH = -log [OH-] = 5.74  

pH = 14 - pOH = 8.26

Which of the following statements concerning a metal crystallized in a face-centered cubic cell is/are CORRECT? 1. One metal ato
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Only 3 is correct.

Explanation:

The crystal of a metal or an ionic compound is called a cell, and there are 7 types of unit cells: cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, and triclinic.

In a face-centered cubic cell (FCC) all angles are 90º and all lengths are equal. Each cubic cell has 8 atoms in each corner of the cube, and that atom is shared with 8 neighboring cells. So for a metal crystal, the atom is located at each of the eight lattice points, where it is shared equally between eight unit cells.

Explain the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanos
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.

Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) reacts with excess oxygen gas (O2) and excess liquid water (H2O) to form liquid sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
inessss [21]
A.2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄
B.Moles of SO₂ = 67.2 / 22.4Moles of SO₂ = 3 molesMoles of H₂SO₄ = 3 molesMass of H₂SO₄ = 3 x 98Mass of H₂SO₄ = 294 grams
Assuming sulfuric acid to have the same density as water,density = 1000 g / LVolume = mass / densityVolume = 294 / 1000Volume = 0.29 liters of sulfuric acid
