How many kilograms of iron can be obtained from 100 kilograms of Fe203

An important reaction that takes place in a blast furnace during the production of iron is the formation of iron metal and CO2 f

ladessa [460]

Answer: Mass of $Fe_2O_3$ required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For iron:

Given mass of iron = 930 kg = 930000 g (1kg=1000g)

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron}=\frac{930000g}{56g/mol}=16607mol$

The chemical equation for the production of iron follows:

$Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron are produced by = 1 mole of $Fe_2O_3$

So, 16607 moles of iron will be produced by = $\frac{1}{2}\times 16607=8303moles$ of $Fe_2O_3$

Now, calculating the mass of $Fe_2O_3$ from equation 1, we get:

Mass of $Fe_2O_3$ = $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=8303\times 160=1328480g=1328kg$

Thus mass of $Fe_2O_3$ required to form 930 kg of iron is 1328 kg

A battery has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy in a lightbulb. Which best explains what

WARRIOR [948]

Answer is: The total energy in the system remains the same as the decrease in chemical energy equals the increase in thermal and radiant energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed or transferred from one form (in this example chemical energy) to another (in this example thermal and radiant energy).

Radiant energy or light is the only kind of energy we can see with our eyes. Light have different wavelenght and different color.

Chemical energy - this type of energy is often found in things like batteries or food.

What isotope is used for a standard for other atomic masses?

sergeinik [125]

Though the ratio of any two atom's masses was the same on either scale, it was horribly confusing, so in 1961, a compromise was reached. Instead of using either Hydrogen, or Oxygen as the standard, the isotope of Carbon with 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus (Carbon-12) was given a mass of exactly 12.
