Write a chemical equation of Dr. Jeff’s demonstration using a battery to light steel wool on fire. The battery is used to allow

a current to travel through the steel wool, thus heating it up. Steel wool is made from iron (Fe).

Answer:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

Explanation:

According to the question, a  battery was used  to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When  the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire.  This caused the iron to heat up quite well.

Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.

Answer:

7.65 moles of silver are produced

Explanation:

Zinc, Zn, reacts with silver nitrate, AgNO3, as follows:

Zn + 2AgNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag

<em>Where 1 mole of Zn reacts with an excess of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag</em>

To solve this question we must convert the mass of Zn to moles and, using the chemical equation, we can find the moles of Ag as follows:

<em>Moles Zn (Molar mass: 65.38g/mol):</em>

250g Zn * (1mol / 65.38g) = 3.824 moles Zn

<em>Moles Ag:</em>

3.824 moles Zn * (2mol Ag / 1mol Zn) =

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HBr à MgBr2 + 2 H2O
AnnyKZ [126]

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction is given as;

Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HBr (aq) → MgBr2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

1. How many grams of MgBr2 will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 1 mol of  MgBr2

Converting to masses using;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Molar mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol

Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

This means;

(2 * 80.91 = 161.82g) of HBr produces (1 * 184.113 = 184.113g) MgBr2

18.3g would produce x

161.82 = 184.113

18.3 = x

x = (184.113 * 18.3 ) / 161.82 = 20.8 g

2. How many moles of H2O will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

Converting the mass to mol;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 18.3 / 80.91 = 0.226 mol

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 2 mol of H2O

0.226 mol would produce x

2 =2

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 2 / 2 = 0.226 mol

3. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to completely react with 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of Mg(OH)2

18.3g of HBr =  0.226 mol

2 = 1

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 1 /2

x = 0.113 mol

If a 125 gms of radioactive element has a half life of 60 min how many half lives will it go through to become 3.90625 gms
Sonja [21]

Answer:

  • 5

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

  • 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
  • (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
  • (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
  • log (0.5)ˣ  = log 0.03125
  • x =  log 0.03125 / log 0.5
  • x = 5
