Answer:

<u><em>This answer assumes that the strated "16.0g of iron" was meant to be 16.0 grams of iron(III) oxide.</em></u>

Explanation:

To start, the thermite equation must be balanced.

I find:

1Fe2O3 + 2Al = 1Al2O3 + 2Fe

This tells us we need 2 moles of Al for every 1 mole of Fe2O3.  

Now calculate the moles of each reactant:

Moles Fe2O3:  16.0 g/159.7 g/mole = <u>0.100 moles Fe2O3</u>

Moles Al:  8.1 /26.98 g/mole = <u>0.300 moles Al</u>

The balanced equation says that in order to react all of the Fe2O3 we'd need twice that amount (in moles) of the Al.  (0.100 moles Fe2O3)*(2) = 0.200 moles Al.

<u>Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent?</u>

We have more than enough moles of Al to react with 0.10 moles of Fe2O3.  (We have 0.300 moles Al and all we need is 0.200 moles to react with the 0.10 moles of Fe2O3.  <em>Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent.</em>

<u><em>Calculate the maximum mass of iron of iron that could be formed using these quantities of reactants.</em></u>

The balanced equation tells us that we will obtain 2 moles of Fe for every 1 mole of Fe2O3 consumed.  Since Fe2O3 is the limiting reagent, we will assume that it completely reacts.  That means 0.1 moles of Fe2O3 is reacted.  Since we expect twice that many moles of Fe, we should obtain 0.200 moles of Fe.  At 55.85 g/mole, we should obtain:

(0.200 moles Fe)*(55.85 g Fe/mole Fe) = 11.2 grams Fe

The shielding of electrons gives rise to an effective nuclear charge, Zeff, which explains why boron is larger than oxygen. Esti
Paul [167]

Answer:

Option B. +3 and +6

Explanation:

<em>Zeff</em> = <em>z - s</em>

where <em>z</em> is the atomic number, <em>s</em> is the number of shielding(non-valence) electrons

For Boron, electronic configuration is 1s²2s³.

z = 5, s = 2

Zeff = 5 - 2 = +3

For Oxygen, electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁴

z = 8, s = 2

Zeff = 8 - 2 = +6

Amanda [17]

Answer:

77,007 Pa

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the equivalence statement for atmospheres and pascals is:

1 atm = 101,325 Pa

We can set up the following conversion factor to obtain the pressure in pascals:

0.760atm*\frac{101,325Pa}{1atm}\\\\=77,007Pa

Best regards!
