beryllium (Z=4) and its cation formed when losing two

electrons.


2.83 g of a sample of haematite iron ore [iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3] were dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid and the solution diluted to 250 cm3. 25.0 cm3 of this solution was reduced with tin(II) chloride (which is oxidised to Sn4+ in the process) to form a solution of iron(II) ions. This solution of iron(II) ions required 26.4 cm3 of a 0.0200 mol/dm3 potassium dichromate(VI) solution for complete oxidation back to iron(III) ions.


(a) given the half–cell reactions



(i) Sn4+(aq) + 2e– ==> Sn2+(aq)



and (ii) Cr2O72–(aq) + 14H+(aq) + 6e– ==> 2Cr3+(aq) + 7H2O(l)



deduce the fully balanced redox equations for the reactions



(i) the reduction of iron(III) ions by tin(II) ions



(ii) the oxidation of iron(II) ions by the dichromate(VI) ion



(b) Calculate the percentage of iron(III) oxide in the ore.

Balance the reactions below using the change in oxidation number method.

  1. PbO2+HBr-PbBr2+O2+H2O
  2. PbO+NH3-Pb+N2+H2O
  3. KBr+KCIO2+H2SO4-Br2+KCI+K2SO4+H20
  4. BR^- +CIO^- +H^+ - Br2+CI^- +H20
  5. SN^2+ +VO4^3- +H^+-- SN^4+ +V^2+ + H20

Initially, a mixture of 0.200 M NO, 0.100 M H_{2} , 0.200 M H_{2}*O was permitted to reach equilibrium (initially there was no*N_{2} ). At equilibrium, the concentration of NO was discovered to be 0.062 M. Determine the value of the equilibrium constant, Ke, for the reaction:


2NO(g) + 2H_{2}(g) N_{2}(g) + 2H_{2}*O(g)


The reaction of bromine gas with chlorine gas has a Kc value of 7.20 at 200°C. If a closed 2.50 L vessel were charged with the two reactants, with the former weighing 9.65 g while the latter is 5.70 g, what would be the equilibrium concentration of the two reactants and BrCl(g)? Determine whether the forward or the reverse reaction will be favored. Explain your answer.
