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?

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

All p block elements form ions.<br> True or False
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

No this statement is false.

Explanation:

when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed. If the atom lose an electron the positive ions are formed called cations while anion is formed by the gaining of electron by an atom The elements having less electrons in valance shell usually lose their electrons while the elements like halogens having 7 valance electrons gain an electron to complete the octet. while p block elements noble gases are inert, their outer most valance shell is complete so they do not form ions.

P block elements are non-metals, metals and metalloids. These are thirty five elements. The P-block elements are present on right side of periodic table. There valance electrons are present in P orbital. The p-block metals are shiny and good conductor of heat and electricity. These metal lose the electron which is accept by non metals and form ionic bond. They have high melting points.

Metalloids includes boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. Metalloids contain both the properties of metals and non metals, Some metalloids are toxic like arsenic.

Most of p-block elements are non metals. They are bad conductor of heat and electricity and have low boiling points. The non metals mostly accept the electron from the metals and usually from ionic bond like in case of chlorine. It form the ionic compound with sodium.

The sodium chloride which is an ionic compound, formed by the complete transfer of electron from sodium to chlorine atom and form ionic bond. In this ionic compound sodium carry positive charge and chlorine carry negative charge there is attraction between these oppositely charged atoms.
