Explanation:
The balanced redox reaction equation is;
8H+ + MnO4^- + 5Fe2+ ---------> Mn2+ + 5Fe3+ + 4H2O
Amount of KMnO4 reacted = 31.60/1000 * 0.05120 = 1.62 * 10^-3 moles
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of MnO4^- reacted with 5 moles of Fe2+
1.62 * 10^-3 moles will react with 1.62 * 10^-3 moles * 5/1 = 8.1 * 10^-3 moles
Mass of Fe2+ reacted = 8.1 * 10^-3 moles * 56 g/mol
Mass of Fe2+ reacted = 0.45 g
Amount of iron in the sample = 0.45 g
Percentage of iron in the sample;
0.45 g/4.230 g * 100 = 10.6 %
If a sample is packed poorly, the sample will not heat evenly and will take longer to melt.
B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.
