Start with the unbalanced chemical equation

Fe(s)+O2(g)→Fe2O3(s)

The idea behind balancing chemical equations is that the number of atoms an element has on the reactants' side must be equal to the number of atoms it has on the products' side.

These atoms will become a part of different compounds once the reaction is completed, but they must always be in equal numbers on both sides.

So, look at iron first. One atom reacts, but two are produced - notice the 2 subscript iron has in Fe2O3. This means you must double the number of atoms on the reactants' side to reach an equality.2

Fe(s)+O2(g)→Fe2O3(s)

Now look at oxygen. Two atoms react, but three are produced. The trick here is to find a common multiple that will make the number of atoms equal on both sides.

The easiest way to do this is to multiply the atoms that react by 3, which will give you 6 oxygen atoms that react, and the atoms that are produced by 2 - this will get you 6 oxygen atoms produced.

2Fe(s)+3O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s)

However, notice that the iron atoms are unbalanced again. You have 2 that react, but 4 that are produced → multiply the atoms that react by 2 again, which will give you

4Fe(s)+3O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s

An experiment shows that a 236 mL gas sample has a mass of 0.443 g at a pressure of 740 mmHg and a temperature of 22 ∘C. What is

aleksley [76]

Answer:

49.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's first take account of what we have and convert them into the correct units.

Volume= 236 mL x ( $\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}$ ) = .236 L

Pressure= 740 mm Hg x ( $\frac{1 atm}{760 mm Hg}$ )= 0.97 atm

Temperature= 22C + 273= 295 K

mass= 0.443 g

Molar mass is in grams per mole, or MM= $\frac{mass}{moles}$ or MM= $\frac{m}{n}$ . They're all the same.

We have mass (0.443 g) we just need moles. We can find moles with the ideal gas constant PV=nRT. We want to solve for n, so we'll rearrange it to be

n= $\frac{PV}{RT}$ , where R (constant)= 0.082 L atm mol-1 K-1

Let's plug in what we know.

n= $\frac{(0.97 atm)(0.236 L)}{(0.082)(295K)}$

n= 0.009 mol

Let's look back at MM= $\frac{m}{n}$ and plug in what we know.

MM= $\frac{0.443 g}{0.009 mol}$

MM= 49.2 g/mol

HALOGENS have 7 electrons in their final shell regardless if the total number of atoms. These 7 electrons would be shared between the 's' and 'p' orbital in the form ns² np⁵ (the same as the question). Attached is a table that highlights the fact that halogens have the same form in terms of the valence electrons.

Answer:

5.44 kg/L

Explanation:

Mass = 13.6 kg

Change in water level as a result of Trevor = Volume of Trevor = 2.50 L

Density = ?

The relationship between the three parameters is given as;

Density = Mass / Volume

Density = 13.6 / 2.5

Density = 5.44 kg/L
