Answer:
Option A. FeCl3
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Mass of the compound formed = 18g
From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25
Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The compound therefore contains:
Iron (Fe) = 6.25g
Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:
Step 1:
Divide by their molar mass
Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112
Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331
Step 2:
Divide by the smallest
Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1
Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3
The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3
If you only want to balance nuclear reactions, then you should know that number of nucleons are conserved before and after nuclear reaction. Also, charge is conserved as well.
Other things which are conserved in a nuclear reaction are:
Conservation of:
1. Parity
2. Spin
3. angular momentum(vector sum of intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum)
4. linear momentum
5. Isotopic spin
6. Energy
Answer chocies .......................
Explanation:
Percentage Yield
= (3.37g/3.81g) * 100% = 88.45%.
Therefore 88.45% SO2 is the percentage yield.
