Hey there!
The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.
Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
0.46 V
Explanation:
The emf for the cell is given by:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction
From the given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:
4Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻ oxidation
O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O reduction
From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get
Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺ Eºred = 0.77 V
Eº red O₂ / H₂O Eºred = 1.23 V
Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction O₂:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V
Answer:
The answer is maybe reactivity
IF magnesium sulfide reacts with oxygen in the air it will produce
magnesium oxide + sulfur (IV) oxide
<u><em>explanation</em></u>
magnesium sulfide burn in oxygen to produce magnesium oxide and sulfur (iv) oxide according to the equation below
2MgS +3O2 →2MgO +2SO2
that is 2 moles of MgS react with 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of MgO and 2 moles of SO2

Explanation:
Atomic size increases down the group due to the addition of more shells.
As more shells are added and repulsion of inner electrons become more significant, atomic size increases down the group. However, across the period, atomic size decreases due to increase in effective nuclear charge without any increase in the number of shells. This causes increased attraction between the nucleus and the outermost shell thereby decreasing the size of the atom.
Ionization energy decreases down the group because the outermost electron is more shielded by inner electrons making it easier for this outermost electron to be lost. Across the period, ionization energy increases due to increase in effective nuclear charge which makes it more difficult to remove the outermost electron due to increased nuclear attraction.
