Explain the units and how to solve the following metric conversion then solve the metric conversion by filling in the blank 12km=—- m.

- 12 km = 12000 m

Solution:- It's a metric unit conversion where we are asked to convert 12 km to m where km stands for kilometer and m stands for meter.

In metric conversions, kilo means 1000.

So, 1 km = 1000 m

It means,  we multiply the given km by 1000 to get the answer in m as:

= 12000 m

Hence, 12 km = 12000 m.

first, consult an activity series chart to determine if al is more reactive than fe. it is, so it will replace the fe. now, one can continue with the problem.

next, make sure you have a correctly balanced equation.

3feo + 2al ==> 3fe + al2o3

now, determine which reactant (feo or al) is in limiting supply.

moles feo present = 125 g x 1 mole/71.8 g = 1.74 moles

moles al present = 25.0 g x 1 mole/26.98 g = 0.927 moles

since from the balanced equation, it take 3 mol feo for every 2 mol al, al will be limiting.

you can determine this simply by dividing moles of each by their coefficient in the balanced equation. for example: 1.74/3 = 0.58 and 0.927/2 = 0.464. al is less, so it is limiting.

finally, using the stoichiometry in the balanced eq. determine mass of fe that can be produced from 0.927 moles of al.

0.927 moles al x 3 moles fe/2 moles al x 55.8 g/mole = 77.6 g
