When elemental iron corrodes it combines with oxygen in the air to ultimately form red brown iron(iii) oxide which we call rust.

(a) if a shiny iron nail with an initial mass of 23.2 g is weighed after being coated in a layer of rust, would you expect the mass to have increased, decreased, or remained the same? explain. (b) if the mass of the iron nail increases to 24.1 g, what mass of oxygen combined with the iron?

<span>The mass of the nail would increase, because the iron is adding oxygen to its chemical composition. This would increase the overall mass. If the mass increases from 23.2g to 24.1g, then the increase would be the difference between the two masses, or 0.9g.</span>

An iron nail rusts when exposed to oxygen. According to the following reaction, how many grams of iron(III) oxide will be formed
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

53.2

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → Fe₂O₃

It means that 3 moles of oxygen form 1 mol of iron(III) oxide. The molar masses are: Fe = 55.8 g/mol and O = 16 g/mol. So

O₂ = 2x 16 = 32 g/mol

Fe₂O₃ = 2x55.8 + 3x16 = 159.6 g/mol

So, 32 g of O₂ corresponds to 1 mol of O₂. The stoichiometry calculus must be (always in moles):

3 mol of O₂ ------------------------ 1 mol of Fe₂O₃

1 mol of O₂  ------------------------ x

By a direct simple three rule:

3x = 1

x = 1/3 mol of Fe₂O₃

The mass is the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles, so:

m = 159.6x (1/3)

m = 53.2 g iron (III) oxide.

Calculate the following quantity: volume of 1.403 M copper(II) nitrate that must be diluted with water to prepare 575.2 mL of a
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

328 ml

Explanation:

We have given final volume =575.2 ml=0.575 L

Final concentration = 0.8012 M

We know that moles of copper(II) nitrate = final volume ×final concentration =0.8012×.0575=0.4606 moles

We have to find initial volume

So initial volume =\frac{moles\ of \ copper(II)\ nitrate}{initial\ concentration}=\frac{0.4606}{1.403}=0.328L=328ml

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide according to the equation: 3NO2(g)+H2O(l)→2HNO3(l)+
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2 mol NO2

Explanation:

                                      3NO2(g)+H2O(l)→2HNO3(l)+NO(g)

from reaction                3 mol        1 mol

given                           11 mol          3 mol

for 3 mol NO2  -----   1 mol H2O

for x mol NO2  -----   3 mol H2O

3:x = 1:3

x = 3 *3/1 = 9 mol NO2

So, for 3 mol H2O are needed only 9 mol NO2.

But we have 11 mol NO2. So, NO2 is in excess, and

11 mol NO2 - 9 mol NO2 = 2 mol NO2 will be left after reaction.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Oxygen atoms form two double bonds in silicon(IV) oxide.

Silicon(IV) oxide has a high melting point.

Explanation:

Silicon dioxide is structurally analogous to carbon dioxide in the sense that it also contains two oxygen atoms that are double bonded to silicon the central atom in the molecule.

Silicon dioxide has a very high melting point of about 1710 degrees centigrade because of its large macromolecular structure which requires much energy to break such intermolecular interactions.
