Q4. In the manufacture of iron in a blast furnace, iron (III) oxide (Fe2Os) in the iron ore is reduced by carbon monoxide (CO) to iron and carbon dioxide (CO2). High quality iron ore contains 50% iron (III) oxide and lower iron ore grade contains 12% iron (III) oxide. a) Write a complete balanced equation for this reaction. b) Calculate the mass of iron (III) oxide needed to make 1 g of iron. c) Estimate the number tons of iron ore required to produce 1 ton of iron, stating any assumptions you made in reaching your answer.

Copper(II) sulfate has been used extensively as a fungicide (kills fungus) and herbicide (kills plants). Copper(II) sulfate can be prepared in the laboratory by reaction of copper(II) oxide with sulfuric acid. The unbalanced equation is :math>CuO(s)+H2SO4(aq)CuSO4(aq)+H2O(l) 2.49 g of copper(II) oxide is treated with 5.05 g of pure sulfuric acid, which reactant would limit the quantity of copper(II) sulfate that could be produced?
Consider the following unbalanced chemical equation for the combustion of pentane (C5H12): :math>C5H12(l)+O2(g)CO2(g)+H2O(l) a 20.4-gram sample of pentane is burned in excess oxygen, what mass of water can be produced, assuming 100% yield?
Consider the following reaction: 4NH3(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(g) If a container were to have 10 molecules of O2 and 10 molecules of NH3 initially, how many total molecules (reactants plus products) would be present in the container after this reaction goes to completion?
3.68 Magnesium is lighter than other structural metals, so it is increasingly important in the design of more efficient vehicles. Mg2+ ions are present in seawater, and the metal is often prepared by "harvesting" these ions and converting them to Mg metal. The average magnesium content of the oceans is about 1270 g Mg2+ per ton of seawater, and the density of seawater is about 1.03 g/mL. What is the molarity of Mg2+ ions in seawater? The design for a concept car calls for 103 kg of magnesium per vehicle. How many gallons of seawater would be required to supply enough magnesium to build one of these ears?
Many cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?
One method for determining the purity of a sample of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2, an important industrial chemical, is to react the sample with bromine trifluoride. 3 TiO2(s) + 4 BrF3() 3 TiF4(s) + 2 Br2() + 3 O2 (g) This reaction is known to occur completely and quantitatively. That is. all of the oxygen in TiO2, is evolved as O2 Suppose 2.367 g of a TiO2-containng sample evolves 0.143 g O2. What is the mass percent of TiO2 in the sample?
You are making cookies and are missing a key ingredienteggs. You have most of the other ingredients needed to make the cookies, except you have only 1.33 cups of butter and no eggs. You note that the recipe calls for two cups of butter and three eggs (plus the other ingredients) to make six dozen cookies. You call a friend and have him bring you some eggs. a. What number of eggs do you need? b. If you use all the butter (and get enough eggs), what number of cookies will you make? Unfortunately, your friend hangs up before you tell him how many eggs you need. When he arrives, he has a surprise for you to save time, he has broken them all in a bowl for you. You ask him how many he brought, and he replies. I cant remember. You weigh the eggs and find that they weigh 62.1 g. Assuming that an average egg weighs 34.21 g. a. What quantity of butter is needed to react with all the eggs? b. What number of cookies can you make? c. Which will you have left over, eggs or butter? d. What quantity is left over?
