Answer:

166 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reaction for the obtaining of Fe from magnetite

Fe₃O₄ ⇒ 3 Fe + 2 O₂

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 120 g of Fe

The molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g/mol.

120 g × (1 mol/55.85 g) = 2.15 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Fe₃O₄ required to produce 2.15 moles of Fe

The molar ratio of Fe₃O₄ to Fe is 1:3. The moles of Fe₃O₄ required are 1/3 × 2.15 mol = 0.717 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.717 moles of Fe₃O₄

The molar mass of Fe₃O₄ is 231.53 g/mol.

0.717 mol × 231.53 g/mol = 166 g

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

83.20 g of Na3PO4

Explanation:

1 mole of Na3PO4 contains 3 moles of Na+.

Mole of Na ion to be prepared = Molarity x volume

                 = 0.700 x 725/1000

                     = 0.5075 mole

If 1 mole of Na3PO4 contains 3 moles of Na ion, then 0.5075 Na ion will be contained in:

           0.5075/3 x 1 = 0.1692 mole of Na3PO4

mole of Na3PO4 = mass/molar mass = 0.1692

Hence, mass of Na3PO4 = 0.1692 x molar mass

                                     = 0.1692 x 163.94

                                        = 83.20 g.

83.20 g of Na3PO4 will be needed.

During a spectrophotometric analysis of an unknown, you measure your solution's absorbance, and the value is higher than the hig
Reil [10]

Answer:

A) Dilute the unknown so that it will have an absorbance within the standard curve. Once the diluted unknown concentration is determined, the full strength concentration can be calculated if the dilution process is recorded. Beer's law only applies to dilute solutions, so diluting the unknown is better than making new standards.

Explanation:

Beer's law states that <em>absorbance is proportional to the concentrations of the absorbing species</em>. This is verified in the case of diluted solutions (0≤0.01 M) of most substances. <u>As a solution gets more concentrated, solute molecules interact between themselves because of their proximity. </u>When a molecule interacts with another, the change in their electric properties (including absorbance) is probable. That's why <u>the plot of absorbance versus concentration stops being a straight line</u>, and <u>Beer's law is no longer valid.</u>

Therefore, if the absorbance value is higher than the highest standard,  dilutions should be made. Once this concentration is determined, the full strength concentration can be calculated with the inverse of the dilution.

Which option accurately describes the first two stages of photosynthesis?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer;

A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.

-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.
