- The balanced equation for the reduction of iron ore to the metal using CO is Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) (a) What is the maximum mass of iron, in grams, that can be obtained from 454 g (1.00 lb) of iron(III) oxide? (b) What mass of CO is required to react with 454 g cot Fe2O3?arrow_forwardEthanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forward3.arrow_forward
- (1) One of the steps in the commercial process for converting ammonia to nitric acid involves the conversion of ammonia, NH3(g) to nitrous oxide, NO(g). 4 NH3(g ) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(l) Atomic weights (g/mol): N=14, H=1, O=16 a. Balance the above chemical equation that represents the conversion. b. How many moles of oxygen are needed to convert 2.5 moles of ammonia? c. How many grams of water will be produced from 2.5 moles of ammonia? d. If 150 grams of oxygen reacted 2.5 moles of ammonia, identify the limiting and excess reagents. e. How much of the excess reagent remains unreacted? f. If the reaction in (d) produces 10.0 grams of nitrous oxide, calculate the percent yield.arrow_forwardFor many years the recovery of gold—that is, the separation of gold from other materials—involved the use of potassium cyanide: Au + KCN + O2 + H2O à KAu(CN)2 + KOH (a) Balance the above chemical equation. (b) What is the minimum amount of potassium cyanide in grams needed to extract 29.0 g (about an ounce) of gold?arrow_forwardBalance the following equations. (Use the smallest whole numbers possible. Enter 1 where appropriate - do not leave any answer box blank.) (a) CAH100() + ]O2(@) → CO,(g) + H20() (b) CH4(g) + |a,(g) → CCI,(1) + HCI(g) (c) Fe(OH)2(s) + H2S(g) - Fe S3(s) + H20(g)arrow_forward
- Hematite, Fe₂O3, is an important ore of iron. (An ore is a natural substance from which the metal can be profitably obtained.) The free metal is obtained by reacting hematite with carbon monoxide, CO, in a blast furnace. Carbon monoxide is formed in the furnace by partial combustion of carbon. The reaction is Fe₂O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g) How many grams of iron can be produced from 1.34 kg Fe₂03? g Fearrow_forwardS. Titanium occurs in the magnetic mineral ilmenite (FeTiO3), which is often found mixed with sand. The ilmenite can be separated from the sand with magnets. The titanium can then be extracted from the ilmenite by the following set of reactions: FETIO;(s) + 3 Cl2(g) + 3 C(s) → 3 CO(g) + FeCl2(s) + TiCl,(g) TICL(g) + 2 Mg(s) –→ 2 MgCl;(1) + Ti(s) Suppose that an ilmenite-sand mixture contains 22.8% ilmenite by mass and that the first reaction is carried out with a 90.8% yield. If the second reaction is carried out with an 85.9% yield, what mass of titanium can be obtained from 1.00 kg of the ilmenite-sand mixture?arrow_forwardb The Ostwald process for the commercial production of nitric acid from ammonia and oxygen involves the following steps: 4NH3(g) + 502(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H,O(g) (1) 2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) (2) 3NO2(g) + H20(1) → 2HNO3(aq) + NO(g) (3) Is the overall reaction exothermic or endothermic? exothermic endothermicarrow_forward
