Answer:

The oxide formula is Fe_{2}O_{3}

Explanation:

The provided compound contains iron (Fe) and oxygen (O).

Therefore, mass of oxygen in the sample = (total mass) - (mass of iron)

                                                   = (6.285 g) - (4.396 g)

                                                   = 1.889 g

Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol and of iron = 55.845 g/mol.

Thus, the ratio of moles of Fe and O (Fe: O)

      = \frac{4.396}{55.845}:\frac{1.889}{16}

      = 0.0787: 0.118

      = 1:\frac{0.118}{0.0787}

      = 1: 1.5

      = 2: 3.

Consequently, the oxide formula is Fe_{2}O_{3}.

Tems11 [2777]

Answer:

15.71g

Explanation:

The combustion equation that applies to hydrocarbons is

CxHy + (x+y/4) O2 = xCO2 + (y/2) H2O

In the case of octane, C8H18:

C8H18 + ( 8 + 18/4 ) O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

C8H18 + 50/4 O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

C8H18 + 25/2 O2 = 8CO2 + 9H2O

2C8H18 + 25 O2 = 16 CO2 + 18H2O (this is the balanced equation)

From this balanced reaction,

2 x 22.4 L of octane generates 16 [ 12 + (16 x 2)] of carbon dioxide

That means,

44.8 L of octane generates 704g of carbon dioxide

Thus, for 1L of octane, it produces 1 L x 704g/44.8 L = 15.71g of carbon dioxide

Consequently, 15.71g of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 1 L of octane.

A sample of a monoprotic acid (ha) weighing 0.384 g is dissolved in water and the solution is titrated with aqueous naoh. if 30.
Alekssandra [3086]
The formula for a monoprotic acid can be represented as HA, and its reaction with a base is shown as follows: HA + NaOH ---> NaA + H₂O. The stoichiometry between the acid and the base is 1:1. At the point of neutralization, the moles of HA equals the moles of the base. The moles of NaOH that reacted can be calculated as 0.100M / 1000 mL/L x 30.0 mL = 0.003 mol. Consequently, the moles of HA that reacted equal 0.003 mol. The mass of the acid is 0.384 g, yielding a molar mass of 0.384 g / 0.003 mol = 128 g/mol.
