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?
B. What mass of aluminum must be used to produce 76.72 g of iron?
C. What is the maximum mass of aluminum oxide that could be produced along with 76.75 g 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 controls flowering in many<br> plants?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

All flowering is regulated by the integration of environmental cues into an internal sequence of processes. These processes regulate the ability of plant organs to produce and respond to an array of signals. The numerous regulatory switches permit precise control over the time of flowering.

3) Calculate the percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%

Explanation:

When a solute dissolves in a solvent, the mass of the resulting solution is a sum of the mass of the solute and the solvent.

A percentage is a way of expressing a quantity as a fraction of 100. In this case, the percentage by mass of a solution is the number of grams of solute per 100 grams of solution and can be represented mathematically as:

Percent by mass=\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution} *100

In this way it allows to precisely establish the concentration of solutions and express them in terms of percentages.

In this case:

  • mass of solute: 3.55 g
  • mass of solution: 3.55 g + 88 g= 91.55 g

Replacing:

Percentbymass=\frac{3.55}{91.55}*100

Percent by mass= 3.88%

<u><em>The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%</em></u>
