How many grams of Fe2O3 are formed when 51.3 grams of iron, Fe, react completely with oxygen, O2? 4 Fe + 3 O2 --> 2 Fe2O3

1 answer:

6 0

The Fe is our limiting reactant here. First, convert the mass of Fe given to moles of Fe by dividing mass by the molar mass:

(51.3 g Fe)/(55.845 g/mol) = 0.9186 mol Fe.

According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of Fe2O3 are produced for every 4 moles of Fe that are consumed. In other words, half as many moles of Fe2O3 will be produced as there are Fe that react:

(0.9186 mol Fe)(2 mol Fe2O3/4 mol Fe) = 0.4593 mol Fe2O3.

Finally, convert the moles of Fe2O3 back to grams by multiplying by the molar mass of Fe2O3:

(0.4593 mol Fe2O3)(159.6882 g/mol) = 73.3 g Fe2O3.

So, 73.3 grams of Fe2O3 are formed.

Answer:

$m_{ice} = 65.336\,g$

Explanation:

Accoding to the First Law of Thermodynamics, the heat released by the water melts a portion of ice. That is to say:

$Q_{water} = Q_{ice}$

$(100\,g)\cdot \left(4.184\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C}\right)\cdot (52\,^{\textdegree}C - 0\,^{\textdegree}C) = m_{ice}\cdot \left(333\,\frac{J}{g} \right)$

The amount of ice that is melt is:

$m_{ice} = 65.336\,g$

How many moles of NaCl must be dissolved in 0.5 L of water to make a 4 mole/L

kvv77 [185]

C = 4 mol/l
v = 0.5 l

n(NaCl)=cv

n(NaCl) = 4 mol/l · 0.5 l = 2 mol

2 moles of NaCl must be dissolved
