- The compound As2I4 is synthesized by reaction of arsenic metal with arsenic triiodide. If a solid cubic block of arsenic (d = 5.72 g/cm3) that is 3.00 cm on edge is allowed to react with 1.01 1024 molecules of arsenic triiodide, what mass of As2I4 can be prepared? If the percent yield of As2I4 was 75.6%, what mass of As2I4 was actually isolated?arrow_forwardThe reaction of iron(III) oxide with aluminum to give molten iron is known as the thermite reaction (page 172). Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s) 2 Fe(l) + Al2O3(s) What amount of Al, in moles, is needed for complete reaction with 3.0 mol of Fe2O3? What mass of Fe, in grams, can be produced?arrow_forwardFulgurites are the products of the melting that occurs when lightning strikes the earth. Microscopic examination of a sand fulgurite shows that it is a globule with variable composition that contains some grains of the definite chemical composition Fe 46.01%, Si 53.99%. Determine the empirical formula of these grains.arrow_forward
- A herbicide contains 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), C8H6Cl2O3. A 1.236-g sample of the herbicide was decomposed to liberate the chlorine as Cl ion. This was precipitated as AgCl, with a mass of 0.1840 g. What is the mass percent of 2,4-D in the sample? 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid)arrow_forward4.104 When 2.750 g of the oxide Pb3O4 is heated to a high temperature, it decomposes to produce 0.0640 g of oxygen gas and 2.686 g of some new lead oxide compound. How can you use these data to determine the formula of the new compound?arrow_forwardThe reaction of methane and water is one way to prepare hydrogen for use as a fuel: CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3 H2(g) If this reaction has a 37% yield under certain conditions, what mass of CH4 is required to produce 15 g of H2?arrow_forward
- A mixture of CuSO4 and CuSO4.5 H2O has a mass of 1.245 g. After heating to drive off all the water, the mass is only 0.832 g. What is the mass percent of CuSO4.5H2O in the mixture? (See page 98.)arrow_forwardWhat number of atoms of nitrogen are present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 51?arrow_forwardhich of the following statements is true for the reaction of nitrogen gas with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia (NH3)? Choose the best answer. l type='a'> Subscripts can be changed to balance this equation, just as they can he changed to balance the charges when writing the formula for an ionic compound. i>The nitrogen and hydrogen will not react until you have added the correct mole ratios. i>The mole ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in the balanced equation is 1:2. i>Ammonia will not form unless 1 mole of nitrogen and 3 moles of hydrogen have been added. i>The balanced equation allows you to predict how much ammonia you will make based on the amount of nitrogen and hydrogen present.arrow_forward
- Small amounts of tungsten (W) are usually added to steel to strengthen and harden the steel. Two ores of tungsten are ferberite (FeWO4) and scheelite (CaWO4). How many grams of FeWO4 would contain the same mass of tungsten that is present in 725 g of CaWO4?arrow_forwardWhat amount (moles) of compound is present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 51?arrow_forward
