Iron pyrite, FeS2, is known as Fool's Gold because it is a shiny yellow solid which is similar in appearance to gold. Iron pyrit

e is an ionic compound. Gold is a metallic element.
- Iron pyrite, FeS2, contains positive and negative ions. The positive ion is Fe2+.

Answer:

Explanation:

The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

In order to know the formula of the negative Sulfur ion in pyrite, we must determine its oxidation state.

Let us make the make the oxidation number of sulfur = x

Therefore, FeS₂:

                      +2 +2x = 0

                      +2 = -2x

                       x = -1

The formula of the negative ion is S⁻

Sulfur oxides Carbon monoxides Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)Nitrates are responsible for the hole in the ozone layer.
svp [43]
The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.

according to the kinetic molecular theory the pressure exerted by a sample of gas at constats volume doubles when the absolute t
ozzi

Answer: gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force

Explanation:

According to the postulates of  kinetic molecular theory:

1. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.

2. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.

When the temperature is increased, so the average kinetic energy and the rms speed also increase. This means that the gas molecules will hit the container walls more frequently and with greater force because they are all moving faster. This increase the pressure.

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe
jeyben [28]

Answer:

0.55 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the number of moles corresponding to 1.00 g of carbon dioxide. This is given by

n=\frac{m}{M_m}

where

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

Mm = 44.0 g/mol is the molar mass of the gas

Substituting,

n=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.0227 mol

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas law:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V = 1.00 L is the volume

n = 0.0227 mol is the number of moles

R = 0.082 L/(atm K mol) is the gas constant

T = 25.0 C + 273 = 298 K is the temperature of the gas

Solving the formula for p, we find

p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.0227 mol)(0.082 L/(atm K mol))(298 K)}{1.00 L}=0.55 atm
