An ore is to be analyzed for its iron content by an oxidation-reduction titration with permanganate ion. A 4.230 g sample of the

ore is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and passed over a reducing agent so that all the iron is in the form Fe2+. The Fe2+ (aq) is completely oxidized by 31.60 mL of a 0.05120 M solution of KMnO4. The unbalanced equation for the reaction is:
KMnO4(aq) + HCl(aq) + FeCl(aq) ---> MnCl(aq) + FeCl3(aq) + H2O(1)

the balanced equation is:
8H+ + MnO4 + 5Fe2+ â Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O

Required:
Calculate the amount of iron in the sample and its mass percentage in the ore.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The balanced redox reaction equation is;

8H+ + MnO4^- + 5Fe2+ ---------> Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O

Amount of KMnO4 reacted = 31.60/1000 * 0.05120 = 1.62 * 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of MnO4^- reacted with 5 moles of Fe2+

1.62 * 10^-3 moles will react with 1.62 * 10^-3 moles * 5/1 = 8.1 * 10^-3 moles

Mass of Fe2+ reacted = 8.1 * 10^-3 moles  *  56 g/mol

Mass of Fe2+ reacted = 0.45 g

Amount of iron in the sample =  0.45 g

Percentage of iron in the sample;

0.45 g/4.230 g  * 100 = 10.6 %

Why is it important to keep high acid food away from zinc coated tub
denis23 [38]
The reactions that will take place will generate Zinc salts that will taint the food. Excessive levels of these salts can cause sickness, so it is very important to ensure food hygiene standards are met by keeping acidic foods away from damaging materials like zinc that will erode and get into the food.

The volume of a gas at 17.5 psi decreases from 1.8L to 750mL. What is the new pressure of the gas in arm?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

P₂ = 2.88 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas = 1.8 L

Final volume = 750 mL

Initial pressure = 17.5 Psi

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

We will convert the units first:

Initial pressure = 17.5  /14.696 = 1.2 atm

Final volume = 750 mL ×1L/1000L = 0.75 L

The given problem will be solved through the Boly's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.2 atm × 1.8 L =  P₂  ×0.75 L

P₂ = 2.16 atm. L/ 0.75 L

P₂ = 2.88 atm

What is the (a) frequency and (b) wavelength (in nm) of a source of purple light at the edge of the visible light spectrum?
stiv31 [10]

Answer: a) Frequency=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz

b) Wavelength=380nm-450nm

Explanation: Visible light is a form of electromagnetic wave.

Wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive crests of a wave. It is represented as symbol \lambda.

Frequency is defined as the number of complete cycles happening per second. It is represented by the symbol \nu.

Wavelength and Frequency follow inverse relation,

                                              \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where, c = speed of light = 3\times10^8m/s

Wavelength and frequency of a wave is usually expressed in a range.

a)  \text{Frequency of visible light}=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz

b) \text{Wavelength of visible light}=380nm-450nm

Covalent bonds are in the air you breathe and the water you drink. How are covalent bonds formed?
kramer
Covalent bond is the term that is being used to describe the bonds in the compounds that are created due to the sharing of one or more electrons. One of the best example of the simplest covalent bond is the bond that is being created when two isolated hydrogen atoms come together to form an H2 molecule. An isolated hydrogen atom has one proton and electron being combined by the force of attraction from the opposite-charged articles. When a pair of isolated hydrogen atom combines, two forces of attraction are created coming from each of the isolated hydrogen atom.
