Answer:
FeCl₃
Explanation:
4FeCl₃ + 3O₂ => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂
Given => 7moles 9moles
A simple way to determine which reagent is the limiting reactant is to convert all given data to moles then divide by the respective coefficients of the balanced equation. The smaller value will be the limiting reactant.
4FeCl₃ + 3O₂ => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂
Given => 7/4 = 1.75* 9/3 = 3
*Smaller value => FeCl₃ is limiting reactant.
NOTE: However, when working problems, one must use original mole values given.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Ce metal has electronic configuration as follows
[Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²
After losing 4 electrons , it gains noble gas configuration ,. So Ce ⁺⁴ is stable.
Eu has electronic configuration as follows
[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷6s²
[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷
Its outermost orbit contains 2 electrons so Eu²⁺ is stable. Its +3 oxidation state is also stable.
Ce⁺²
Metals generally form cations, meaning they become positively charge - this positive charge is due to the loss of electrons.
