Answer:

17.2 moles of Iron are required

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction:

2Fe + 3S → Fe₂S₃

2 moles of Fe react with 3 moles of S to produce 1 mole of Iron (III) sulfide

Assuming and excess of sulfur, if we want to obtain 8.6 moles of Fe₂S₃ are required:

8.6 moles Fe₂S₃ * (2 moles Fe / 1mol Fe₂S₃) =

<h3>17.2 moles of Iron are required</h3>

A gas used to extinguish fires is composed of 75 % CO2 and 25 % N2. It is stored in a 5 m3 tank at 300 kPa and 25 °C. What is th

tatyana61 [14]

Answer : The partial pressure of the $CO_2$ in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.

Explanation :

As we are given 75 % $CO_2$ and 25 % $N_2$ in terms of volume.

First we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2$ and $N_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }CO_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{75}{22.4}=3.35mole$

$\text{Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }N_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{25}{22.4}=1.12mole$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $CO_2$ .

$\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}$

$\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{3.35}{3.35+1.12}=0.75$

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the $CO_2$ gas.

$\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2\times \text{Total pressure of gas}$

$\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=0.75mole\times 300Kpa=225Kpa=225Kpa\times \frac{0.145\text{ psia}}{1Kpa}=32.625\text{ psia}$

conversion used : (1 Kpa = 0.145 psia)

Therefore, the partial pressure of the $CO_2$ in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.

Through what process do all stars produce their energy?

Deffense [45]

nuclear fusion

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.

What order must the earth, the sun, and the moon be in to be a lunar eclipse?

zhannawk [14.2K]

A total lunar eclipse takes place when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and covers the Moon with its shadow. When this happens, the Moon can turn red, earning it the nickname of Blood Moon.

What is the percent yield of CuS for the following reaction given that you start with 15.5 g of Na2S and 12.1 g CuSO4? The actua

notka56 [123]

Answer:

(B) 42.1%

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Given: For $Na_2S$

Given mass = 15.5 g

Molar mass of $Na_2S$ = 78.0452 g/mol

Moles of $Na_2S$ = 15.5 g / 78.0452 g/mol = 0.1986 moles

Given: For $CuSO_4$

Given mass = 12.1 g

Molar mass of $CuSO_4$ = 159.609 g/mol

Moles of $CuSO_4$ = 12.1 g / 159.609 g/mol = 0.0758 moles

According to the given reaction:

$Na_2S+CuSO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+CuS$

1 mole of $Na_2S$ react with 1 mole of $CuSO_4$

0.1986 mole of $Na_2S$ react with 0.1986 mole of $CuSO_4$

Available moles of $CuSO_4$ = 0.0758 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, $CuSO_4$ is limiting reagent. (0.0758 < 0.1986)

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of $CuSO_4$ gives 1 mole of $CuS$

0.0758 mole of $CuSO_4$ gives 0.0758 mole of $CuS$

Molar mass of $CuS$ = 95.611 g/mol

Mass of $CuS$ = Moles × Molar mass = 0.0758 × 95.611 g = 7.2473 g

Theoretical yield = 7.2473 g

Given experimental yield = 3.05 g

% yield = (Experimental yield / Theoretical yield) × 100 = (3.05/7.2473) × 100 = 42.1 %

Option B is correct.
