Some of the negative consequences of cobalt mining are pollution and child trafficking.

<h3>Effects of cobalt mining</h3>

Many young children are made to work in mines generally either due to continued struggle for survival or forced into it by child traffickers.

Apart from that, cobalt mining causes pollution in the environment. Inhalation of dust containing cobalt causes a host of health issues such as lung cancer and damage to human skin.

Other effects include soil degradation and pollution, water pollution due to mine run-offs, etc.

If you start with 4 moles of iron and 3 moles of oxygen to produce iron oxide, what is the limiting reagent? (You will need to b
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

No limiting reagent. There is an exact amount  of each.

Explanation:

Start by getting the equation

Fe + O2 -> Fe2O3

If you balance the oxygens the Fe will easily follow.

Fe + 3O2 => 2Fe2O3

So far what you have is 6 oxygens on the right and 6 on the left. Now all you need do is balance the irons. The are 4 on the right (2Fe2). So you must have 4 on the left.

4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3

Now to your question if you have 4 mols of iron, you need 3 mols of O2. Those are the balance numbers of the equation. They also represent mols.

There is no limiting reagent in the theoretical world of chemistry. All the iron will be used up and so will the given amount of oxygen.

A heterogeneous mixture that has very small dispersed particles and stays mixed for a long time is a____. it for science class
Shkiper50 [21]
The heterogeneous mixture that has very small dispersed particles and stays mixed for a long time is colloid. Because colloid has particles that are small enough to suspended but are as large that they can scatter light.

If 4.88 grams of zn react with 5.03 grams of s8 to produce 6.02 grams of zns, what are the theoretical yield and percent yield o
nataly862011 [7]
<span>Balance the equation
    8Zn + S8 -----> 8ZnS
    work out how much ZnS is possible if all of each reagent were to react. The reagent that produces the least product is the limiting reagent.
    moles Zn = mass / molar mass = 4.88 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.07464 moles
  8 moles Zn reacts to form 8 moles ZnS
  Therefore moles ZnS possible = moles Zn = 0.07464 moles

    moles S8 = 5.03 g / 256.48 g/mol = 0.01961 mol
  1 mole S8 reacts to form 8 moles ZnS
  Therefore moles ZnS possible = 8 x moles S8 = 0.1569 mol

    The amount of Zn provided gives the least ZnS, therefore Zn is the limiting reagent.
    The theoretical yield is the maximum possible yield possible from the reagents provided. It is the amount of product that will form if all the limiting reagent reacts.
  So in this case 4.88 g Zn yields 0.07464 mol ZnS

    theoretical mass ZnS = molar mass x moles
  = 97.44 g/mol x 0.07464 mol
  = 7.27 g

    % yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100/1
  = 6.02 g / 7.27 g x 100/1
  = 82.8 %</span>
