<h2>Answer:  kilograms of cryolite ≈ 50.23 kg</h2>

Explanation:

<u><em>Write the balanced equation</em></u>

Let's start off by writing the reaction for the formation of cryolite:

Al₂O₃  +  6NaOH  +  12HF    →    2Na₃AlF₆  +  9H₂O

<em><u>Determine the limiting factor</u></em>

moles = mass ÷ molar mass

moles of Al₂O₃ = 12200 g ÷ 101.96 g/mol = 119.65 mol

moles of NaOH = 57400 g ÷  39.997 g/mol = 1435.11 mol

moles of HF = 57400 g ÷ 20.01 g/mol = 2868.57 mol

Since Al₂O₃ has the smallest number of moles in the reaction, it is the limiting factor. As such we will have to use the moles of Al₂O₃ to determine the moles of cryolite that will be produced.

<em><u>Find the mole ratio between the limiting factor and the cryolite</u></em>

The mole ratio of Al₂O₃ : Na₃AlF₆ based on the balanced equation is 1 : 2

∴ since the moles of Al₂O₃ = 119.65 mol

        the moles of Na₃AlF₆ = 119.65 mol × 2 = 239.3 mol

<u><em>Calculate the mass of the Cryolite</em></u>

Mass cryolite = moles × molar mass

                      = 239.3 mol × 209.9 g/mol

                      =  50229.07 g

      ∴ kilograms of cryolite ≈ 50.23 kg

Consider the reaction between iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3 and carbon monoxide, CO. Fe2O3 + 3CO --&gt; 2Fe + 3CO2 In the process, 213
s344n2d4d5 [400]
To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.
