The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a
(b)
Interpretation:
The given equation should be balanced.
Concept introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, therefore, the number of atoms present in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

- 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_forward(c) Balance the equation: HClO4(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s) → What is the ionic equation? What is the net ionic equation?arrow_forwardBalance the following Equation : Fe3O4 (s) + CO (g) = Fe (s) + CO2 (g)arrow_forward
- For 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 chemical equation (if necessary):arrow_forwardBalance the following equations.arrow_forward
