What is the oxidation of Fe in Fe2O3

Chemistry
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
4 0

Answer/ explanation :

The oxidation number of Fe

In Fe2O3

To solve this problem,

The oxidation number of O is -2

Oxidation number of Fe is x

Note that there are 2moles of Fe and 3moles of O

2 Fe + (-2 * 3) = 0

2 Fe + (-6) = 0

2 Fe - 6 = 0

2 Fe = 6

Fe = 6/2

Fe = +3

Therefore, the oxidation number of Fe is +3

The sign is very important, either - or +

One atom of an element possesses 80 protons, 80 electrons, and 121 neutrons. Given this information, what is the atomic mass of
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

I think the answer is 4) 41

Explanation:

APE= atomic number, proton and the electrons are the same number

MAN= mass = atomic number - neutrons

121 - 80 = 41

i haven't done this in a while so hope this helps :)

We observe a distant object in space and see that the spectral lines for hydrogen in the object's light appear at a shorter wave
MrMuchimi

Answer:

This tells us the radial velocity of the object and that the object is approaching or coming towards us.

Explanation:

Certain chemicals radiate with particular wavelengths or colors  when their temperature is raised or when they are charged electrically. Also observable are dark strokes separating the spectrum known as absorption lines

These spectral lines of chemicals are well known as stated above and from the phenomenon of Doppler effect, spectroscopy can be used to detect the movement of a distant object by the change of the emitted frequency of the wavelength

The Doppler effect is used in calculating the radial velocity of a distant object due to the fact that an approaching object compresses its emitted signal wavelength while a receding object has a longer wavelength than normal

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

Why does waters boiling point decrease with increases in elevation
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Waters' boiling point decreases with increases in elevation because of the atmospheric pressure.

For example, the higher in elevation you are. The lower the atmospheric pressure is. In other words heated water reached boiling point quicker.
