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

Distillation is used to separate _____.
Art [367]
Distillation is the process of separating homogeneous mixtures -and  a solution is a homogenous mixture, so this is the correct answer!

A homoogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the elements are mixed so well, that the mixture has a similar composition in all its parts. A heat can be applied to this mixture then to separate the parts - this is destination!

What is the composition of tungsten?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel and copper or nickel and iron.

Explanation:

Heavy metal tungsten alloys are 90% to 97% pure tungsten in a matrix of nickel and copper or nickel and iron. The addition of these alloying elements improves both the ductility and machinability of these alloys over non-alloyed tungsten.

A field worker is exposed to a xylene for a duration of 8 weeks at 40 hrs/wk. The concentration of xylene in the workplace is 40
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Explanation:

Number of hours worker exposed to xylene = 40 hr/week\times 8 week = 320 hours

The concentration of xylene in the workplace =40 \mu g/m^3

The worker is inhaling air at a rate of 0.9 m^3/hr.

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :

= 40\mu g/m^3\times 0.9 m^3/hr=36 \mu g/hr

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:

36 \mu g/hr\times 320 hr=11,520 \mu g=11,520\times 0.001 mg=11.520 mg

1 μg = 0.001 mg

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg

1 day = 24 hours

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:

\frac{24}{320}\times 11.520 mg=0.864 mg

Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :

\frac{0.864 mg/day}{70 kg}=0.01234 mg/ kg day\approx 0.012 mg/ kg day

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.
