Lead(II) chromate (PbCrO4) is used as the yellow pigment in traffic lanes, but is banned from house paint because of the risk of lead poisoning. It is produced from chromite (FeCr2O4), an ore of chromium:

4FeCr2O4(S)+8K2CO3(aq)+7O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s)+8K2CrO4(aq)+8CO2(g)

Lead(II) ion then replaces the K+ ion. If a yellow paint is 0.511% PbCrO4 by mass, how many grams of chromite are needed per kilogram of paint?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are 1.77 g FeCr2O4of chromite are need to replace per kg of paint.

Step by step solution

01

Calculating the moles of PbCrO4

The moles can be denoted as,

MolesofPbCrO4=5.11gPbCrO4×1molPbCrO4323.19gPbCrO4=0.0158mol0.0158molPbCrO4×1molCr1molPbCrO4×1molFeCr2O42molCr=7.9×10-3mol

02

Calculating the mass of FeCr2O4

The mass can be calculated as,

MassofFeCr2O4=7.9×10-3molFeCr2O4×223.85gFeCr2O41molFeCr2O4MassofFeCr2O4=1.77g

Each of the following balances weighs the indicated numbers of atoms of two elements:

Which element-left, right, or neither,
(a) Has the higher molar mass?
(b) Has more atoms per gram?
(c) Has fewer atoms per gram?
(d) Has more atoms per mole?

Citric acid (right) is concentrated in citrus fruits and plays a central metabolic role in nearly every animal and plant cell. (a) What are the molar mass and formula of citric acid? (b) How many moles of citric acid are in 1.50 qt of lemon juice (d = 1.09 g/mL) that is 6.82% citric acid by mass?

The study of sulfur-nitrogen compounds is an active area of chemical research, made more so by the discovery in the early 1980s of one such compound that conducts electricity like a metal. The first sulfur-nitrogen compound was prepared in 1835 and serves today as a reactant for preparing many of the others. Mass spectrometry of the compound shows a molar mass of 184.27 g/mol, and analysis shows it to contain 2.288 g of S for every 1.000 g of N. What is its molecular formula?

Many metals react with oxygen gas to form the metal oxide. For example, calcium reacts as follows:

2Ca(s)+O2(g)→2CaO(s)

You wish to calculate the mass of calcium oxide that can be prepared from 4.20 g of and 2.80 g of O2

(a) How many moles of CaO can be produced from the given mass of Ca ?

(b) How many moles of CaO can be produced from the given mass ofO2

(c) Which is the limiting reactant?

(d) How many grams of CaO can be produced?

Hemoglobin is 6.0% heme (C34H32FeN4O4) by mass. To remove the heme, hemoglobin is treated with acetic acid and NaCl to form hemin (C34H32N4O4FeCl). At a crime scene, a blood sample contains 0.65 g of hemoglobin. (a) How many grams of heme are in the sample? (b) How many moles of heme? (c) How many grams of Fe? (d) How many grams of hemin could be formed for a forensic chemist to measure?
