Q5. Study the following equation and answer the question that follow.

         Fe2O3(s)+ 3CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)

a)       Name the oxidizing agent in the above reaction

b)      Calculate the mass of Fe2O3 that would be required to produce 112grams of Fe. Atomic masses are: Fe=56, O=16, C=12

1.       Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) +3CO2(g)

a)      Oxidizing agent is Fe2O3

b)      Relative molecular mass of Fe2O3 = 56×2 + 16×3= 160g/mol

From the equation:

2moles of Fe generated from 1mol of Fe2O3

It means that (2 x 56) g of Fe → 160 g of Fe2O3

112g of Fe → 160 g of Fe2O3

Therefore, 160g of Fe2O3 required to produce is 112g of Fe

a)       Calculate the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon

b)      If the relative molecular mass of hydrocarbon is 58, Calculate its molecular formula. 9 Relative atomic masses are C:12, H=1)

a)            According to the data we have, 100g of compound contains 82.8 g of Carbon and 17.2 g of Hydrogen.

 

Number of moles of atoms:

·     Carbon:82.8g×1moles12g=6.9moles\frac{82.8g ×1moles}{12g}=6.9 moles

·     Hydrogen:17.2g×1moles1g=17.2moles\frac{17.2g ×1 moles}{1g}=17.2 moles

                       Relative number of moles of atoms:

·     Carbon:  6.9moles6.9moles=1\frac{6.9moles}{6.9moles}=1      

·     Hydrogen: 17.2moles6.9moles=2.5\frac{17.2 moles}{6.9 moles}=2.5

                           To obtain a whole number, multiply the relative number of moles of atoms by

                             integer 2

·         Carbon: 1×2= 2

·         Hydrogen: 2.5 ×2=5

                       Therefore, Empirical formula is C2H5

b)     Molecular formula

·         Formula: Empirical formula multiplied by n

The simplest weight: (12g×2) +( 1g×5) =29g

Molecular weight: 58g

Multiplication factor (n) will be:molecularweightsimplestweight\frac{molecular weight}{simplest weight}

                                 n:58g29g=2\frac{58g}{29g}=2

                       therefore, the molecular formula will be (C2H5)2, the same to C4H10
