When the equation Fe + Cl2 ----> FeCl3 is correctly balanced the coefficient for Cl2 is

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is D. Using the law of conservation of mass the number of atoms on each side of the equation should be equal. Through introspection, we find that there are 2 $Cl$ atoms on reactant side as opposed 3Cl atoms on product side. If we add a coefficient of 3 on $Cl_2$ we get

$Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> FeCl_3$ .

Now there are 6Cl atoms on reactant side and 2 on product side, hence we add a coefficient of 2 on both $FeCl_3$ and $Fe$ . The balanced chemical equation is,

$2Fe + 3Cl_2 ==> 2FeCl_3$

Identify the species oxidized. 2 al3+(aq) + 2 fe(s) → 2 al(s) + 3 fe2+(aq)

Sliva [168]

To know the answer, compare the oxidation number of the element in the reactant and the product side. The oxidation number of Al was originally +3, then became 0 after the reaction. On the other hand, Fe was originally 0, then became +2 after the reaction. When the element is oxidized, it oxidation number increases. <em>Thus, the element oxidized is Fe.</em>

What is the most likely result of the pollution of a fresh water resource?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Loss of biodiversity in the wetlands.

Explanation: Pollution can be defined as the emission of toxic, poisonous and harmful chemical substances which are capable of causing environmental degradation and contamination.

Nitrogen pollution enters Earth’s freshwater resources from a variety of human activities, including the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. This nitrogen pollution has a negative effect on plants and animals living in fresh water. Certain wetland plants, however, are able to purify the water and restore it to its non-polluted state.

Hence, what would most likely increase the negative effects of nitrogen pollution is a loss of biodiversity in the wetlands i.e the various species of animal and plants.

To interconvert the concentration units molality (m) and mass percent, you must also know the density of the solution. A) True B

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is option false.

Explanation:

Molality of the solution defined as moles of substance present in 1 kilogram of solvent.

Moles = $\frac{Mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}$
