Answer:

5444.89 grams of Fe

Explanation:

1) We need the chemical equation for Fe3O4 to find the mole ratio for Fe to Fe3O4. Chemical equation:

3Fe+4H2O → Fe3O4+4H2

The mole ratio of Fe to Fe3O4 is 3:1

2) Now, we find how many grams of Fe are needed to produce 32.5 moles of Fe3O4.

$32.5 moles Fe3O4$ $x \frac{4 mole O}{1 mole Fe3O4}$ = 97.5 moles Fe needed to produce 32.5 moles of Fe3O4

3) Convert 97.5 moles of Fe into grams. The molar mass of Fe is 55.845g.

$97.5 mole Fe$ $x\frac{55.845g Fe}{1 mole Fe}$ = 5444.8875g or 5444.89g.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}$

t = age of sample = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{70}{100}\times 100=70$

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}$

$t=2948years$

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

The standard enthalpy change for the following reaction is 873 kJ at 298 K.

Flura [38]

Answer: - 436.5 kJ.

Explanation:

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation.

The given chemical reaction is,

$2KCl(s)\rightarrow 2K(s)+Cl_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=873kJ$

Now we have to determine the value of $\Delta H$ for the following reaction i.e,

$K(s)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow KCl(s)$ $\Delta H_2=?$

According to the Hess’s law, if we divide the reaction by half then the $\Delta H$ will also get halved and on reversing the reaction , the sign of enthlapy changes.

So, the value $\Delta H_2$ for the reaction will be:

$\Delta H_2=\frac{1}{2}\times (-873kJ)$

$\Delta H_2=-436.5kJ$

Hence, the value of $\Delta H_2$ for the reaction is -436.5 kJ.

When oxygen is depleted, the citric acid cycle stops. What could we add to the system to restore citric acid cycle activity (oth

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

NAD+, FAD.

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle is popularly known as the Kreb's cycle. The cycle involve the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to produce energy. The Kreb's cycle is a chemical process that produces produces two carbon dioxide molecules,NADH,FADH2 and one ATP.

When oxygen is depleted, the citric acid cycle stops, apart from oxygen NAD+ and FAD could be added to the system to restore citric acid cycle activity. NAD+ acts as an electron acceptor.

Citric acid cycle/Kreb's cycle is an aerobic process that occurs in the mitochondria and produces thirty-six(36) ATPs.
