Answer:

Fe is limiting reactant and 3.00g of Fe2O3 will be produced

Explanation:

To solve this question we must convert the mass of each reactant to moles and, using the reaction we can find limiting reactant. With moles of limiting reactant we can find moles of Fe2O3 and its mass as follows:

Moles Fe -Molar mass: 55.845g/mol-

2.1g * (1mol / 55.845g) = 0.0376 moles

Moles O2 -Molar mass: 32g/mol-

2.1g * (1mol / 32g) = 0.0656 moles

For a complete reaction of 0.0656 moles of O2 are needed:

0.0656moles O2 * (4mol Fe / 3 mol O2) = 0.0875 moles Fe

As there are just 0.0376 moles,

Fe is limiting reactant

The mass of Fe2O3 is:

Moles:

0.0376 moles Fe* (2mol Fe2O3 / 4mol Fe) = 0.0188 moles Fe2O3

Mass:

0.0188 moles Fe2O3 * (159.69g / mol) =

3.00g of Fe2O3 will be produced

Which is better solvent: water or carbon tetrachloride?

Firdavs [7]

To know which is a better solvent between the two, one should know what will be the solute. It really depends on what type of solute you have. If the solute is polar then water is the better solvent for that type of solute. However, when the solute is a nonpolar substance then carbon tetrachloride is the better solvent.

In the process of attempting to characterize a substance, a chemist makes the following observations. Which are physical propert

Nitella [24]

Answer: a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal :physical property.

b) It melts at 649°C and boils at 1105°C : physical property.

c) Its density at 20°C is $1.738 g/cm^3$ : physical property.

d) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light : chemical property

Explanation:

Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which is observed during a reaction where the chemical composition identity of the substance gets changed.

Physical property is defined as the property which can be measured and whose value describes the state of physical system. For Example: State, density etc.

a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal is a physical property

b) It melts at 649°C and boils at 1105°C is a physical property.

c) Its density at 20°C is $1.738 g/cm^3$ is a physical property.

d) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light is a chemical property

When a chemical reaction take place new atom or new element are formed true or false

Andreas93 [3]

In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change. A chemical reaction is a mechanism that takes place when two or more molecules interact to produce new products. A reaction between two atoms or ions or molecules may take place and a new bond is formed and no atom is destroyed or created, but reactants form a new substance.
