Workers who build railway tracks often use a process called thermite welding to connect pieces of track. Thermite is a mixture o

f aluminum metal (Al) and ferric oxide (Fe2O3). A worker places thermite between two pieces of track and then burns it to form aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and iron (Fe). As the reaction happens, the air around the mixture becomes so hot that the two pieces of track fuse together.
Is this chemical exothermic or endothermic?

2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2 During a laboratory experiment, a certain quantity of sodium metal reacted with water to produce sodium
anyanavicka [17]

Answer : The initial quantity of sodium metal used is 17.25 grams.

Solution : Given,

Volume of H_2 gas = 8.40 L

Molar mass of Na metal = 23 g/mole

The Net balanced chemical reaction is,

2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2

At STP,  22.4 L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of H_2 gas

so,  8.40 L of volume is occupied by = \frac{8.40L\times 1mole}{22.4L} = 0.375 moles of H_2 gas

Now from the above reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of H_2 gas produced by the 2 moles of Na metal

0.375 moles of H_2 gas produced = \frac{2moles\times 0.375mole}{1mole}=0.75moles of Na metal

The quantity of Na metal used = Moles of Na metal × Molar mass of Na metal = 0.75 moles × 23 g/mole = 17.25 grams

Therefore, the initial quantity of sodium metal used is 17.25 grams.

The percent yield of this reaction is consistently 92.0%. CH4(g) + 4 S(g) → CS2(g) + 2 H2S(g) How many grams of sulfur would be
dybincka [34]

Answer:

132.17 g

Explanation:

The reaction given , in the question is -

    CH₄ (g ) + 4 S ( g ) ---> CS₂ ( g ) + 2H₂S  ( g )

From the reaction , 4 mole of S is required for the production of 1 mole of  CS₂ .

since ,

Moles of  CS₂  = given mass of CS₂ / Molecular weight  of  CS₂

Since ,

the Molecular weight of  CS₂ = 76

Given ,  mass of CS₂ =  72.57 g

Moles of  CS₂ = 72.57  / 76 = 0.95 mol

Since ,

The yield is 92.0 % .

Moles of S required = 4 * 0.95 mol / 0.92 = 4.13 moles

Mass of S required = 4.13 * 32 = 132.17 g .

Analysis of a 10.15 g sample of a compound known to contain only phosphorus and oxygen indicates a phosphorus content of 4.433 g
Anna007 [38]

find mass of oxygen by subtracting mass of phosphorus from the total mass

divide the masses by the molar mass to get moles

divide moles by the smallest amount of moles

multiply by 2 to get a nice number
