A weighed sample of iron (Fe) is added to liquid bromine (Br2) and allowed to react completely. The reaction produces a single product, which can be isolated and weighed. The experiment was repeated a number of times with different masses of iron but with the same mass of bromine (see graph below). (a) What mass of Br2 is used when the reaction consumes 2.0 g of Fe? (b) What is the mole ratio of Br2 to Fe in the reaction? (c) What is the empirical formula of the product? (d) Write the balanced chemical equation tor the reaction of iron and bromine. (e) What is the name of the reaction product? (f) Which statement or statements best describe the experiments summarized by the graph? (i) When 1.00 g of Fe is added to the Br2, Fe is the limiting reagent. (ii) When 3.50 g of Fe is added to the Br2, there is an excess of Br2. (iii) When 2.50 g of Fe is added to the Br2, both reactanu are used up compietely. (iv) When 2.00 g of Fe is added to the Br2, 10.8 g of product is formed. The percent yield must therefore be 20.0%.

On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?

Fig. 5-5 illustrates a schematic diagram of a combustion device used to analyze organic compounds. Given that a certain amount of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is combusted in this device, explain how the data relating to the mass of CO2 produced and the mass of H2O produced can be manipulated to determine the empirical formula.
Freon-12, CCl2F2, is prepared from CCl4 by reaction with HF. The other product of this reaction is HCl. Outline the steps needed to determine the percent yield of a reaction that produces 12.5 g of CCl2F2 from 32.9 g of Cd4. Freon-12 has been banned and is no longer used as a refrigerant because it catalyzes the decomposition of ozone and has a very long lifetime in the atmosphere. Determine the percent yield.
