What is “Polymerization” is your answer
An element is a form of matter that is made of only one type of atom
There is a missing portion of this question which shows the reaction that needs balancing:
"In a balanced equation, the same number of each kind of atom is shown on each side of the equation. Calculate the number of iron (Fe), oxygen (O), and carbon atoms (C).
Fe2O3+ 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO<span>2
</span><span>Based on these values, is the equation balanced?</span><span>"
</span>
To check if this equation is balanced we simply compare the number of each element on each side of the equation.
On the reactant side of the equation we have:
2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms
On the product side of the equation we have:
2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms
Therefore, both side of the reaction have the correct and equal number of each atom, so the equation is balanced.
The wording of your question doesn't quite make sense, but a mole of an element has the same mass in grams as a single atom of that element has in amu. The mole is defined as 6.02 x10^22 things, whether they be atoms or molecules or even moles! 6.02x10^22 atoms of carbon has a mass of 12.01 g, and a single atom of carbon has a mass of 12.01 amu. Hope this helps!
