Stars produce their energy through nuclear fusion. For most stars, this process is dominated by a process called the "proton-proton chain," a sequence of events that transforms four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom.

Determine the maximum amount of Fe that was produced during the experiment. Explain how you determined this amount.

dsp73

Answer:

5 moles of Fe

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2 Al(s) + Fe 2O 3(s) --> 2Fe (s) + Al 2O 3 (s)

Now;

1 mole of Fe2O3 require 2 moles of Al

3 moles of Fe2O3 requires 3 × 2/1 = 6 moles of Al

Hence Al is the limiting reactant.

If 2 moles of Al yields 2 moles of Fe

5 moles of Al yields 5 × 2/2 = 5 moles of Fe

What temperature will the water reach when 10.1 g CaO is dropped into a coffee cup containing 157 g H2O at 18.0°C if the followi

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Final temperature attained by water = 34.6°C

Explanation:

The reaction of CaO and H₂O is an <em>exothermic reaction</em>. The equation of reaction is given below:

CaO + H₂O ----> Ca(OH)₂

The quantity of heat given off, ΔH°rxn = 64.8KJ/mol = 64800J/mol

Number of moles of CaO = mass/molar mass, where molar mass of Ca0 = 56g/mol, mass of CaO = 10.1g

Number of moles of CaO = 10.1g/56g/mol =0.179moles

Quantity of heat given off by 0.179 moles = 64800 *0.179 = 11599.2J/mol

Using the formula, <em>Quantity of heat, q = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature rise.</em>

mass of mixture = (10.1 + 157)g = 167.1g, Initial temperature = 18.0°C

Final temperature(T₂) - Initial temperature(T₁) = Temperature rise

11599.2J/mol = 167.1g * 4.18J/g·°C * ( T₂ - 18.0°C)

11599.2 = 698.478T₂ - 12572.604

11599.2 + 12572.604 = 698.478T₂

698.478T₂ = 24171.804

T₂ = 34.6°C

Therefore, final temperature attained by water = 34.6°C
