Equation is as follow,

                            Fe₂O₃  +  3 CO     →     2 Fe  +  3 CO₂

Oxidation:

                                        3 CO     →     3 CO₂

Oxidation state of C in CO is +2, and that in CO₂ is +4. So, carbon has lost 2 electrons per mole and 6 electrons per 3 moles hence,

                                 3 CO     →     3 CO₂  +  6 e⁻

Reduction:

                                    Fe₂O₃     →     2 Fe

Oxidation state of Fe in Fe₂O₃ is +3 per atom, and that in Fe is 0. So, Iron has gained 3 electrons per atom and 6 electrons per 2 atoms hence,

                                    Fe₂O₃  +  6e⁻     →     2 Fe

Result:
             Iron in Fe₂O₃ has been reduced in this reaction and has played a role of oxidizing agent by oxidizing carbon from +2 state to +4 state.

Bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (so2) exhibits
Zepler [3.9K]

Bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (CO₂) does not because of the difference in their shape, CO₂ is having linear geometry thus exhibit zero dipole moment while SO₂ is having bent shape thus exhibit dipole moment. So, despite the fact that bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (CO₂) does not.

A 21.0 kg child is running at a velocity of 2.50 m/s. The child is carrying a 2.25 kg gallon of milk. What is the momentum of th
KIM [24]

Answer: The momentum of the child and milk together is 58.125 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of object's mass and velocity.

Mathematically,

p=mv

where, p = momentum

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

In the given question, we are given that a child of mass 21.0 kg is carrying a gallon of milk having mass 2.25 kg and running with a velocity of 2.5 m/s. Hence, the momentum by both milk and child will be:

p=(m_{child}+m_{milk})v     ....(1)

Given:

m_{child}=21.0kg\\m_{milk}=2.25kg\\v=2.5m/s\\p=?kg.m/s

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

p=(21+2.25)kg\times 2.5m/s=58.125kg.m/s

Hence, the momentum of the child and milk together is 58.125 kg.m/s

Rainbow [258]

Answer: C. Salt and Water

Explanation:

The reaction between an acid and a base will have salt and water as its end product. This process is known " Neutralization  Reaction".

HCl    +                   NaOH         ----------->            NaCl       +           H2O

Hydrochloric          Sodium                                  Sodium                Water

Acid                     Hydroxide (base)                   Chloride(Salt)
