Answer: CO is a limiting reagent with regards to the Fe production.

Explanation:

Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)

Moles of CO = \frac{\text{mass of CO}}{\text{molar mass of CO}}=\frac{13.2 g}{28 g/mol}=0.4714 mol

moles of Fe_2O_3=\frac{\text{mass of} Fe_2O_3}{\text{molar mass of}Fe_2O_3}=\frac{42.7 g g}{159.7 g/mol}=0.2673 mol

According to reaction , 3 mole of CO reacts with 1 mole of Fe_2O_3 then , 0.4714 moles of CO will react with : \frac{1}{3}\times 0.4714 moles of Fe_2O_3 that is 0.1571 moles.

0.4714 moles of CO will react with 0.1571 moles of Fe_2O_3 which means that CO is present in limited amount acting as limiting reagent.

Mole remaining of Fe_2O_3 = 0.2673 mol - 0.1571 mol = 0.1102 mol

Hence, CO is a limiting reagent and  Fe_2O_3 is an excessive reagent.

A city's water supply is contaminated with a toxin at a concentration of 0.63 mg/L. For the water to be safe for drinking, the c
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Approximately 22.37 days, will it take for the water to be safe to drink.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

k is rate constant

Given that:- k = 0.27 (day)⁻¹

[A_0] = 0.63 mg/L

[A_t]=1.5\times 10^{-3} mg/L

Applying in the above equation as:-

1.5\times 10^{-3}=0.63e^{-0.27\times t}

63e^{-0.27t}=150\times \:10^{-3}

e^{-0.27t}=\frac{1}{420}

t=\frac{100\ln \left(420\right)}{27}=22.37

<u>Approximately 22.37 days, will it take for the water to be safe to drink.</u>
