Answer:

A. 1 mole of Fe.

B. 1.5 moles of CO₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO —> 2Fe + 3CO₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of CO to produced 2 moles of Fe and 3 moles of CO₂.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of CO.

Therefore, 3 moles of Fe₂O₃ will react with = 3 × 3 = 9 moles of CO.

From the calculation made above, we can see clearly that it will require a higher amount (i.e 9 moles) of CO than what was given (i.e 1.5 moles) to react completely with 3 moles of Fe₂O₃.

Therefore, CO is the limiting reactant and Fe₂O₃ is the excess reactant.

A. Determination of the number of mole of Fe produced.

NOTE: The limiting reactant is used to obtain the desired result because it will give the maximum yield of the products since all of it is consumed in the reaction.

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of CO reacted to produced 2 moles of Fe.

Therefore, 1.5 moles of CO will react to produce = (1.5 × 2)/3 = 1 mole of Fe.

Thus, 1 mole of Fe was obtained from the reaction.

B. Determination of the number of mole of CO₂ produced.

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of CO reacted to produced 3 moles of CO₂.

Therefore, 1.5 moles of CO will also react to produce 1.5 moles of CO₂.

Thus, 1.5 moles of CO₂ were obtained from the reaction.

What happens to dissolving rate when you increase KE?
TEA [102]
In general, solubility increases with temperature. When you increase the temperature of a solvent, you increase the kinetic energy (or energy of movement) of the molecules, and this greater energy helps dissolve more of the solute molecules.

Glucose is a simple sugar made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. What kind of molecule is
Flauer [41]
The answer is <span>C. Glucose is an organic molecule.

Glucose is carbohydrate so it cannot be a protein or a nucleic acid. It is an organic molecule. The organic molecule is compound consisting of carbon to which are attached hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Since, g</span><span>lucose is a simple sugar made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, it, as well as any other carbohydrate, is the organic molecule.</span>

HNO3 + H2O → H3O^+ + NO3<br> which ones are acids and which ones are bases
nlexa [21]

Answer:

  • HNO₃ and  H₃O⁺ are acids
  • H₂O and  NO₃⁻ are bases

Explanation:

The chemical equation is:

  • HNO₃ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻

There are several definitions of acid and bases: Arrhenius', Bronsted-Lowry's and Lewis'.

Bronsted-Lowry model defines and <em>acid</em> as a donor of protons, H⁺.

In the given equation HNO₃ is such substance: it releases an donates its hdyrogen to form the H₃O⁺ ion.

On the other hand, a <em>base</em> is a substance that accepts protons.

In the reaction shown, H₂O accepts the proton from HNO₃ to form H₃O⁺.

Thus, H₂O is a base.

In turn, on the reactant sides the substances can be classified as acids or bases.

H₃O⁺ contain an hydrogen that can be donated and form H₂O; thus, it is an acid (the conjugated acid), and NO₃⁻ can accept a proton to form HNO₃; thus it is a base (the conjugated base).

Calculate the mass percent of Cl in Freon -112 (C2 Cl4 F2), a CFC refrigerant
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  69.6 %

Explanation:

Freon -112 (C₂Cl₄F₂)

MW = (12 x 2) + (35.5 x 4) + (19 x 2)

      = 24 + 142 + 38

      = 204 g

                       204 g of C₂Cl₄F₂  -----------------  100%

                       142 g                     -----------------   x

                      x = (142 x 100 ) / 204

                      x = 69.6 %
