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

An atom is made of 16 protons, 17 neutrons, and 18 electrons. What is the mass number of
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The answer is 33 .

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is the atomic mass which consists of proton and neutron. This atom has 16 protons and 17 neutrons so it has a mass of 33 :

proton number + neutron number = nucleon number / atomic mass

16 + 17 = 33

Moles of phosphorous in 15-35-15 fertilizer in 10g
guapka [62]

<span>The composition of a fertilizer is usually express in NPK number. NPK number is in terms of Percent by mass of the said element which are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. A 15-35-15 fertilizer has 15% Nitrogen, 35% Phosphorous, and 15% Potassium by mass. If you have 10 g of this fertilizer, to get the number of moles of phosphorus, you multiply the mass by 35%, which is equal to 10*0.35 or 3.5 g phosphorus. Then you divide the calculated mass of phosphorous by its molar mass which is 30.97 g/mol. Therefore, you have 3.5/30.97 which is equal to 0.1130 mol Phosphorus. This is the amount of Phosphorus in moles in the fertilizer.</span>
