The multistep smelting of ferric oxide to form elemental iron occurs at high temperatures in a blast furnace. In the first step,

ferric oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form Fe₃O.₄ This substance reacts with more carbon monoxide to formiron(II) oxide, which reacts with still more carbon monoxide to form molten iron. Carbon dioxide is also produced in each step.
(a) Write an overall balanced equation for the iron-smelting process.
(b) How many grams of carbon monoxide are required to form 45.0 metric tons of iron from ferric oxide?

Answer: a)  Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

b) 33749996 grams

Explanation:

a) The balanced chemical reactions will be :

3Fe_2O_3+CO\rightarrow CO_2+2Fe_3O_4

2Fe_3O_4+2CO\rightarrow 6FeO+2CO_2

6FeO+6CO\rightarrow 6Fe+6CO_2

Overall equation : 3Fe_2O_3+9CO\rightarrow 6Fe+9CO_2

Overall balanced equation : Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

b) Amount of iron = 45 metric ton = 45000 kg = 45000000g

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Fe=\frac{45000000g}{56g/mol}=803571moles

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of Fe are produced from=  3 moles of CO

Thus 803571 moles of Fe are produced from=\frac{3}{2}\times 803571=1205357moles  of CO

Mass of CO=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=1205357moles\times 28g/mol=33749996g

Thus 33749996 g of carbon monoxide are required to form 45.0 metric tons of iron from ferric oxide

Be sure to answer all parts. The percent by mass of bicarbonate (HCO3−) in a certain Alka-Seltzer product is 32.5 percent. Calcu

Answer : The volume of CO_2 will be, 514.11 ml

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

HCO_3^-+HCl\rightarrow Cl^-+H_2O+CO_2

First we have to calculate the  mass of HCO_3^- in tablet.

\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-\text{ in tablet}=32.5\% \times 3.79g=\frac{32.5}{100}\times 3.79g=1.23175g

Now we have to calculate the moles of HCO_3^-.

Molar mass of HCO_3^- = 1 + 12 + 3(16) = 61 g/mole

\text{Moles of }HCO_3^-=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-}{\text{Molar mass of }HCO_3^-}=\frac{1.23175g}{61g/mole}=0.0202moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of CO_2.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCO_3^- react to give 1 mole of CO_2

So, 0.0202 mole of HCO_3^- react to give 0.0202 mole of CO_2

The moles of CO_2 = 0.0202 mole

Now we have to calculate the volume of CO_2 by using ideal gas equation.

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1.00 atm

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = 37^oC=273+37=310K

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0202 mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get :

(1.00atm)\times V=0.0202 mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (310K)

V=0.51411L=514.11ml

Therefore, the volume of CO_2 will be, 514.11 ml

In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as a <u>single replacement</u> reaction.

<h3>What is single replacement reaction?</h3>

A single replacement reaction, also known as a single displacement reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is swapped out for another. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

A + BC → B + AC

When A is more reactive than B or when the product AC is more stable than BC, single replacement reactions happen. A and B could either be two halogens or two metals (with hydrogen included) (C is a cation). C functions as a spectator ion when BC and AC are in aqueous solutions.

For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)
