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

Match the following names of glassware with what you would use them for.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

A) Graduated pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes.

B) Volumetric pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume.

C) Beaker – Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed.

D) Buret – Glassware used to deliver a volume not known in advance.

E) Erlenmeyer flask – Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation.

F) Volumetric flask – Glassware used to make accurate solutions.

Explanation:

Graduated pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes.

A graduated pipette is a pipette, which has a scale that shows its volume marked along the tube. It is used to transfer small volumes accurately.

Volumetric pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume.

A volumetric pipette is a pipette, which has a ring like marking that is its calibrated volume. So it is used to transfer a single and small volume only. This pipette is used in volumetric analysis.

Beaker – Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed.

Beaker is the most widely used glassware in the laboratory. They are used to transfer large volume with less accuracy. They are of different sizes depends on the size of volumes ranging from 10 mL to 1000 mL.

Buret – Glassware used to deliver a volume not known in advance.

Buret is the most important glassware in the quantitative analysis. It has a glass tube with scale which measures the volume and a stopcock at one end from which the solvent is dispersed. It is used to measure the volume of the liquid during the titration in the quantitative analysis.

Erlenmeyer flask – Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation.

The most common names of Erlenmeyer flask are conical flask and titration flask. This flask has flat bottom, conical body and cylindrical neck which prevent splashing and evaporation. This flask is used in the titration process in the quantitative analysis. The solvent from the buret is delivered into the conical flask during the titration process.

Volumetric flask – Glassware used to make accurate solutions.

The volumetric flask is also an important glassware in the analytical laboratory. It is used to prepare standard solutions. It is a flask which has a ring like marking that is its calibrated volume. The mentioned volume of volumetric flask is calibrated to have accurate volume.

#1: Which of the following is an exothermic reaction?
aleksandrvk [35]
<span>An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released from the reagents into the ambient environment. Perhaps somewhat counterintuitively, condensation is in fact an example of such a reaction. During the process of the gas-to-liquid phase change, water goes from a higher-energy to lower-energy state of matter, and, as such, releases heat into the environment.</span>
