Answer:

51.69 g of Fe

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2Fe + 3S —> Fe₂S₃

Next, we shall determine the mass of Fe that reacted and the mass of Fe₂S₃ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mol

Mass of Fe from the balanced equation = 2 × 56 = 112 g

Molar mass of Fe₂S₃ = (2×56) + (3×32)

= 112 + 96

= 208 g/mol

Mass of Fe₂S₃ from the balanced equation = 1 × 208 = 208 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

112 g of Fe reacted to produce 208 g of Fe₂S₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Fe needed to produce 96 g of Fe₂S₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

112 g of Fe reacted to produce 208 g of Fe₂S₃.

Therefore, Xg of Fe will react to produce 96 g of Fe₂S₃ i.e

Xg of Fe = (112 × 96)/208

Xg of Fe = 51.69 g

Thus, 51.69 g of Fe is needed for the reaction.

What is a Control trial

AleksandrR [38]

It is a trial aimed to reduce bias during an experiment. An example would be a sugar pill, something that has no real effect so that the results of the true trial can accurately be compared. Its like a control group.

When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the_______

Len [333]

Answer:

Atmosphere.

Explanation:

Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.

What is the rate constant of a reaction if rate = 1 x 10-2 (mol/L)/s, [A] is 2 M,

boyakko [2]

The rate constant of a reaction : 8.3 x 10⁻⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

rate = 1 x 10⁻² (mol/L)/s, [A] is 2 M, [B] is 3 M, m = 2, and n = 1

Required

the rate constant

Solution

For aA + bB ⇒ C + D

Reaction rate can be formulated:

$\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{r~=~k.[A]^a[B]^b}}}$

the rate constant : k =

$\tt k=\dfrac{rate}{[A]^m[B]^n}\\\\k=\dfrac{1.10^{-2}}{2^2\times 3^1}\\\\k=8.3\times 10^{-4}$

The unsaturated hydrocarbon butadiene (C4H6) dimerizes to 4-vinylcyclohexene (C8H12). When data collected in studies of the kine

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

$R=k[C_4H_6]^2$

Explanation:

$2C_4H_6\rightarrow C_8H_{12}$

The rate of the reaction ;

$R=k[C_4H_6]^x$

As given in the question , that graph of time verses $\frac{1}{[C_4H_6]}$ was linear but plots of $[C_4H_6]$ or $\ln[C_4H_6]$ was curved.

Generally:

Graph of time verses $[concentration]$ for zero order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses $\ln [concentration]$ for secon order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses $\frac{1}{[concentration]}$ for secon order reaction is linear with positive slope.

So, the dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

$R=k[C_4H_6]^2$

Carbon dioxide is one of the main gases in the mixture of gases coming out of the kiln.

Gre4nikov [31]

Because the kiln utilizes fire, fire uses oxygen and the fuel to create CO2
CO2 would be the main gas because the main components of the reactants are carbon and oxygen, which make up CO2
