33 kg

Explanation:

Let's consider the two steps to obtain manganese.

Step 1: 2 MnCO₃ + O₂ = 2 MnO₂ + 2 CO₂

Step 2: 3 MnO₂ + 4 Al = 3 Mn + 2 Al₂O₃

The molar mass of Mn is 54.94 g/mol. The moles represented by 8.0 kg of Mn are:

8.0 × 10³ g × (1 mol / 54.94 g ) = 1.5 × 10² mol

In Step 2, the real yield of Mn is 1.5 × 10² mol and the percent yield is 80%. The theoretical yield is:

1.5 × 10² mol (Real) × (100 mol (Theoretical) / 80 mol (Real)) = 1.9 × 10² mol

According to Step 2, the molar ratio of Mn to MnO₂ is 3:3. The moles of MnO₂ are 3/3 × 1.9 × 10² mol = 1.9 × 10² mol

In Step 1, the real yield of MnO₂ is 1.9 × 10² mol and the percent yield is 65%. The theoretical yield is:

1.9 × 10² mol (Real) × (100 mol (Theoretical) / 65 mol (Real)) = 2.9 × 10² mol

According to Step 1, the molar ratio of MnO₂ to MnCO₃ is 2:2. The moles of MnCO₃ are 2/2 × 2.9 × 10² mol = 2.9 × 10² mol

The molar mass of MnCO₃ is 114.95 g/mol. The mass of MnCO₃ represented by 2.9 × 10² mol is:

2.9 × 10² mol × (114.95 g/mol) = 3.3 × 10⁴ g = 33 kg

Answer : The mass of required are, 35 kg

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of .

The first step balanced chemical reaction is:

Molar mass of = 115 g/mole

Molar mass of = 87 g/mole

Let the mass of be, 'x' grams.

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, of react to give of

So, of react to give of

And as we are given that the yield produced from the first step is, 65 % that means,

The mass of obtained = 0.4542x g

Now we have to calculate the mass of .

The second step balanced chemical reaction is:

Molar mass of = 87 g/mole

Molar mass of = 55 g/mole

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, of react to give of

So, of react to give of

And as we are given that the yield produced from the second step is, 80 % that means,

The mass of obtained = 0.2296x g

The given mass of Mn = 8.0 kg = 8000 g     (1 kg = 1000 g)

So, 0.2296x = 8000

x = 34843.20 g = 34.84 kg = 35 kg

Therefore, the mass of required are, 35 kg

A physical change is any change in a substances form that does not change its chemical makeup. Examples of physical changes are breaking a stick or melting ice. A chemical change occurs when atoms of a substance are rearranged, and the bonds between the atoms are broken or formed. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
