1 answer:
A sample of rutile, an ore of titanium consisting principally of TiO2(s), was found to be 65.2% TiO2(s) by mass, with the remainder being sand impurities. what is the minimum number of metric tons of the ore that must be processed to obtain 10.0 metric tons of titanium
Explanation:
Ore contains ---- 65.2%
Mass% of titanium in TiO2 can be calculated as shown below:
Given 10.0 metric tons of titanium is required.
The mass of ore that should be processed can be calculated as shown below:
Mass of Ti = ore x TiO2 % x Ti mass %
10.0 x 1000 kg = M (mass of ore) x (65.2/100) x (59.9/100) Ti
=>M=(10.0 metric tons) / (0.652 x 0.599)
=>M=25.6 metric tons
Hence, the mass of ore required is 25.6 metric tons.

Answer : The type of reaction described in the sentence is Synthesis or Combination
Explanation :
The balanced equation for the reaction between Phosphorous and Oxygen gas can be written as
From the above equation we can see that there are two different reactants ( P and O₂ ) which are combining with each other to give a single product.
This type of reaction is known as Combination or Synthesis.
A general form of Synthesis reaction is given below.
Here we can conclude that a synthesis / combination reaction is the one where 2 or more reactants combine together to give only one product .
