Answer:

About 3500 grams of tin.

Explanation:

We want to determine amount of tin metal (in grams) that can be produced from smelting 4.5 kilograms of tin(IV) oxide.

First, write the chemical compound. Since our cation is tin(IV), it forms a 3+ charge. Oxygen has a 2- charge, so we will have two oxygen atoms. Hence, tin(IV) oxide is given by SnO₂.

By smelting it, we acquire elemental tin and oxygen gas. Hence:

\text{SnO$_2$}\rightarrow \text{Sn} + \text{O$_2$}

(Note: oxygen is a diatomic element.)

The equation is balanced as well.

To convert from SnO₂ to only Sn, we can first convert from grams of SnO₂ to moles, use mole ratios to convert to moles of Sn, and then from there convert to grams.

Since Sn has a molar mass of 118.71 g/mol and oxygen has a molar mass of 15.999 g/mol, the molar mass of SnO₂ is:

(118.71)+2(15.999) = 150.708\text{ g/mol}

Therefore, given 4.5 kilograms of SnO₂, we can first convert this into grams using 1000 g / kg and then using the ratio:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol SnO$_2$}}{150.708\text{ g SnO$_2$}}

We can convert this into moles.

Next, from the chemical equation, we can see that one mole of SnO₂ produces exactly one mole of Sn (and also one mole of O₂). So, our mole ratio is:

\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Sn}}{1\text{ mol SnO$_2$}}

With SnO₂ in the denominator to simplify units.

Finally, we can convert from moles Sn to grams Sn using its molar mass:

\displaystyle \frac{118.71\text{ g Sn}}{1\text{ mol Sn}}

With the initial value and above ratios, we acquire:

\displaystyle 4.5\text{ kg SnO$_2$}\cdot \frac{1000 \text{ g SnO$_2$}}{1\text{ kg SnO$_2$}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol SnO$_2$}}{150.708\text{ g SnO$_2$}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Sn}}{1 \text{ mol SnO$_2$}} \cdot\displaystyle \frac{118.71\text{ g Sn}}{1\text{ mol Sn}}

Cancel like units:

=\displaystyle 4.5\cdot \frac{1000}{1}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{150.708}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{1} \cdot\displaystyle \frac{118.71\text{ g Sn}}{1}

Multiply. Hence:

\displaystyle = 3544.5696...\text{ g Sn}

Since we should have two significant figures:

=3500 \text{ g Sn}

So, about 3500 grams of tin is produced from smelting 4.5 kg of tin(IV) oxide.

Answer:

3.54 kilograms

Explanation:

Tin (IV) oxide's formula is SnO2 and smelting is a reduction reaction.

Given elemental tin and oxygen gas are the only products of this reaction, it can be represented by the equation:  SnO2 -> Sn + O2

From the equation, the molar ratio of SnO2 and Sn is 1:1.

Molar mass of Sn = 118.71 g

Molar mass of SnO2 = 150.71 g

Assuming 100% yield, 4.5 kg of SnO2 can produce 4.5/150.71 * 118.71 = 3.54 kg of Sn.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.1 moles of water

Explanation:

                     2Al(OH)₃  +   3H₂SO₄   ⇒   Al₂(SO₄)₃  +   6H₂O

                       0.45 mol      0.55 mol                                ?

Process

1.- Calculate the limiting reactant

Theoretical proportion

       Al(OH)₃ / H₂SO₄ = 2/3 = 0.667

Experimental proportion

       Al(OH)₃ / H₂SO₄ = 0.45 / 0.55 = 0.81

From the proportions, we conclude that the limiting reactant is H₂SO₄

2.- Calculate the moles of H₂O

                        3 moles of H₂SO₄ ----------------  6 moles of water

                        0.55 moles of H₂SO₄ -----------    x

                        x = (0.55 x 6) / 3

                        x = 3.3 / 3

                       x = 1.1 moles of water

Maru [420]

Answer:

d- 7.58 L

Explanation:

According to Charles's law, the temperature in Kelvin is proportional to the volume of a dry gas when the pressure is constant.

Mathematically, V1/T1 = V2/ T2

V1= initial volume= 6.6 L

T1= Initial temperature= 115 °C= (115 °C +273)=388K

V2= final volume

T2= final temperature= 173 °C= ( 173 °C+ 273)= 446K

Substitute the values,

V2=( V1 × T2)/ T1

= (6.6×446)/388

= 2943.6/388

= 7.6L
