Oxidation is a process when an atom, a group of atoms, or an ion loses electrons.

For example,

Cu⁰ -------> Cu⁺² + 2e⁻. This is an oxidation process.

As we can see an oxidation number was 0, and it became +2. The oxidation number is increased. Oxidation number of the atom, when an atom has undergone oxidation, increases.

So, answer is b.False.

What information is provided by absolute dating that cannot be provided by relative dating

kiruha [24]

Relative dating is the process of determining whether an object or event is older or younger than other objects or events. Absolute dating is d<span>etermining the age of an event or object in years. From absolute dating, the real age of the object is obtained which is not present for relative dating. Hope this helps.</span>

A solution is prepared by mixing 50.0 mL toluene (C6H5CH3 d=0.867 g/mL) with 125 mL Benzene (C6H6 d=0.874 g/mL). Assuming that t

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

mass % = 28.4%

mole fraction = 0.252

molality = 3.08 molal

molarity = 2.69 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of toluene = 50.0 mL = 0.05 L

Density toluene = 0.867 g/mL

Molar mass toluene = 92.14 g/mol

Volume of benzene = 125 mL = 0.125 L

Density benzene = 0.874 g/mL

Molar mass benzene = 78.11 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate masses

Mass = density * volume

Mass toluene = 50.0 mL * 0.867 g/mL = 43.35 g

Mass benzene = 125 mL * 0.874 g/mL = 109.25 g

Step 3: Calculate number of moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles toluene = 43.35 grams /92.14 g/mol = 0.470 5 moles

Moles benzene = 109.25 grams / 78.11 g/mol = 1.399 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity of toluene

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity toluene = 0.4705 moles / 0.175 L = 2.69 M

Step 5: Calculate mass % of toluene

Mass % = (43.35 grams / (43.35 + 109.25) )*100 % = 28.4 %

Step 6: Calculate mole fraction of toluene

Mole fraction toluene = Moles toluene / total number of moles

Mole fraction toluene = 0.4705 / (0.4705 + 1.399) = 0.252

Step 7: Molality of toluene

Molality = number of moles / mass

Molality of toluene = 0.4705 moles / (0.04335 + 0.10925)

Molality of toluene = 3.08 molal

Iron 3 oxide and carbon react to form iron and carbon dioxide. Balance the equation.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

Explanation:

First of all, you have to translate the words into an equation.

Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + CO2

The easiest way to tackle this is to start with the Oxygens and balance them. They must balance by going to the greatest common factor which is 6. So you multiply the molecule by whatever it takes to get the Oxygens to 6

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + 3 CO2

Now work on the irons. There 2 on the left and just 1 on the right. So you need to multiply the iron by 2.

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

Finally it is the turn of the carbons. There are 3 on the right, so you must make the carbon on the left = 3

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

And you are done.
