Over the years, the thermite reaction has been used for years to welding railroad nails, in cendiary bombs, and to ignite solid

fueled rocket motors. The reaction is
Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) → 2Fe(l) + Al2O3(s)
A. What mass of iron(III) oxide must be used to produce 76.73 g of iron?

Answer:

A. 109.61 g of Fe₂O₃

B. 36.99 g of Al

C. Maximum mass of Al₂O₃ produced is 69.90 g

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

Fe₂O₃ (s) + 2Al (s) → 2Fe (l) + Al₂O₃ (s)

Next, we shall determine the masses of Fe₂O₃ and Al that reacted and the masses of Fe and Al₂O₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = (2×56) + (3×16)

= 112 + 48 = 160 g/mol

Mass of Fe₂O₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 160 = 160 g

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Mass of Al from the balanced equation = 2 × 27 = 54 g

Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mol

Mass of Fe from the balanced equation = 2 × 56 = 112 g

Molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2×27) + (3×16)

= 54 + 48 = 102 g/mol

Mass of Al₂O₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 102 = 102 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

160 g of Fe₂O₃ reacted with 54 g of Al to produce 112 g of Fe and 102 g of Al₂O₃

A. Determination of the mass of iron(III) oxide, Fe₂O₃, needed to produce 76.73 g of iron, Fe.

From the balanced equation above,

160 g of Fe₂O₃ reacted to produce 112 g of Fe.

Therefore, Xg of Fe₂O₃ will react to produce 76.73 g of Fe i.e

Xg of Fe₂O₃ = (160 × 76.73)/112

Xg of Fe₂O₃ = 109.61 g

Thus, 109.61 g of Fe₂O₃ is needed to produce 76.73 g of Fe.

B. Determination of the mass of aluminum, Al, to produce 76.72 g of iron, Fe.

From the balanced equation above,

54 g of Al reacted to produce 112 g of Fe.

Therefore, Xg of Al will react to produce 76.72 g of Fe i.e

Xg of Al = (54 × 76.72)/112

Xg of Al = 36.99 g

Thus, 36.99 g of Al is needed to produce 76.72 g of Fe.

C. Determination of the maximum mass of aluminum oxide, Al₂O₃, produced along with 76.75 g Fe.

We'll begin by calculating the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed to produce 76.75 g of Fe. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

160 g of Fe₂O₃ reacted to produce 112 g of Fe.

Therefore, Xg of Fe₂O₃ will react to produce 76.75 g of Fe i.e

Xg of Fe₂O₃ = (160 × 76.75)/112

Xg of Fe₂O₃ = 109.64 g

Thus, 109.64 g of Fe₂O₃ is needed to produce 76.75 g of Fe.

Finally, we shall determine the maximum mass of Al₂O₃ produced along with 76.75 g Fe. this can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

160 g of Fe₂O₃ reacted 102 g of Al₂O₃.

Therefore, 109.64 g of Fe₂O₃ will react to produce = (109.64 × 102)/160 = 69.90 g of Al₂O₃.

Thus, the maximum mass of Al₂O₃ produced is 69.90 g

What is the correct answer ?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Element with 6s subshell

Explanation:

Reactivity of an element depends on the electronic configuration and position of element in the periodic table as reactivity increases as we go down the periodic table.

This is so because number of shell increases as move down the periodic table and the last electron is further away from the nucleus.

Element with 6s subshell is the largest among 3s and 4s subshell and has more number of shells so it will react more than 3s and 4s subshell.

Hence, the correct answer is "Element with 6s subshell".
