Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf About \ 0.5 \ moles \ of \ SiO_2}}

Explanation:

To convert from grams to moles, we must use the molar mass.

<u>1. Molar Mass </u>

Use the Periodic Table to find the masses of the individual elements (silicon and oxygen) in sand.

  • Silicon (Si): 28.085 g/mol
  • Oxygen (O): 15.999 g/mol

Examine the formula for sand: SiO₂. There is a subscript of 2 after oxygen, so there must be 2 oxygen atoms. Multiply oxygen's mass by 2 and add silicon's mass to find the molar mass of sand.

  • SiO₂: 2(15.999 g/mol) + 28.085 g/mol= g/mol

<u>2. Calculate Moles </u>

Use the molar mass as ratio.

\frac{60.083 \ g \ SiO_2}{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}

Multiply by the given number of grams (30)

30 \ g \ SiO_2 *   \frac{60.083 \ g \ SiO_2}{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}

Flip the fraction so the grams of sand will cancel.

30 \ g \ SiO_2 *\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.083 \ g \ SiO_2}

30  *\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.083 }

\frac{30 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.083 }

0.499309289 \ mol \ SiO_2

<u>3. Round </u>

The original measurement of grams has 1 signfiicant figure. We must round our answer to 1 sig fig.

For the answer we found, that is the tenth place. The 9 in the hundredth tells us to round the 4 to a 5.

\approx 0.5 \ mol \ SiO_2

There are about <u>0.5 moles</u> of SiO₂ in 30 grams.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

30 g SiO₂ (sand)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Si - 28.09 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SiO₂ - 28.09 + 2(16.00) = 60.09 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                                \displaystyle 30 \ g \ SiO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.09 \ g \ SiO_2})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                  \displaystyle 0.499251 \ mol \ SiO_2

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig figs and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

0.499251 mol SiO₂ ≈ 0.50 mol SiO₂

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer : O_2 is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : Fe\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-

Reduction reaction : O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction : 4Fe\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+12e^-

Reduction reaction : 3O_2+12e^-\rightarrow 6O^{2-}

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

In this reaction, 'Fe' is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and 'O_2' is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, O_2 is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

4.2 g of lithium (Li) reacts with 2.8 g of nitrogen (N2). Find the simplest molar ratio in which lithium reacts with nitrogen.
o-na [289]

The simplest molar ratio in which lithium reacts with nitrogen is 6 moles of lithium to 1 mol of nitrogen.

What is molar ratio?

A molar ratio examines the ratio that exist between two chemical compounds showing the amounts in moles of the compounds involved in a chemical reaction.

Molar ratio = amount of a constituent in moles ÷ total amount of all constituents in a mixture in moles

Given:

Mass of lithium (Li) = 4.2 g

Mass of  nitrogen (N2) = 2.8 g

Total amount of mass = 7g

Moles = molecular weight  ÷  mass of water

Moles of lithium (Li) = 4.2 ÷ 7 = 0.60 mol

Moles of nitrogen (N₂) = 2.8 ÷ 7 =  0.10 mol

Therefore, ratio Li : N₂ = 0.60 : 0.10 = 6 : 1

6 Li + N₂

The balanced equation between lithium and nitrogen, to form lithium nitride = 6 Li + N₂ → 2 Li₃N₆L i + N₂ → 2Li₃N

In summary, the simplest molar ratio in which lithium reacts with nitrogen is 6:1
