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

Rank the following from highest to lowest priority according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system: -CH2CH3, -CHCH2, -CCH, -CH3.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The order will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

Explanation:

According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system we rank the groups based on the atomic number of directly attached atom with the chiral carbon.

For example: between C and H, we rank Carbon first.

If the same atoms are attached for different groups then we prioritized based on the second element with highest atomic number.

For example:

Among CH₃ and C₂H₅, the priority will be given to C₂H₅.

If an atom is double or triple bonded to the directly attached atom then each pi bond is considered to be a new atom.

Hence CH=CH₂ means, that there are two carbons attached to CH carbon.

So the order based on above selection rules will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

Which shows the rational expression written using the least common denominator?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The first one.

\frac{x + 1}{4x^{2} } and \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }

Explanation:

When comparing two fractions with variables like this, it's important to get to the same denominator in order to compare apples with apples and then be able to do not only comparisons but also perform additions/subtractions.

Question is which denominator to use and how to reach it.

In this case, the question and the answer choices do the work for you.  The question asks which one is the LEAST common denominator, and the answers show denominators x² and 4x².  The smallest of these is x², however, we can't simplify the first fraction to get to the x² denominator, so we'll go for the 4x².

So, the first fraction has already the correct denominator (4x²), we just have to transform the second one.

We multiply it by 1, expressed in a different way.  Since we're multiplying by one, we're not affecting the value, just the way it looks.

Let's do it!, to get the denominator to go from x² to 4x², we need to multiply it by 4... so we'll multiply by 4/4 (which is 1, neutral for the multiplication).

\frac{x + 1}{x^{2} } * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }

And now you have both fractions on the same denominator, without having changed their value, just their looks

Amiraneli [1.4K]

 The statement  which  is true  about  the reactivity  of  element  with          1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹   is

 it is reactive   because it has to lose one  electron  to have  a full  outermost  energy  level.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • <u><em> </em></u>Element  with     1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹  electron configuration  is    a sodium  metal.
  •    sodium  has  one  electron  in the outermost energy level.
  • for  sodium to have  a full  outermost  energy level (  8 electrons) it   loses  the  1  electron   in 3S¹ to  form   a positively  charged ion. (Na⁺)
