Answer:

Oxidation reaction

Explanation:

Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons

Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction

*********
AND.. it's also a synthesis reaction.. (aka combination reaction)

What mass of solute will dissolve in 100g of water at the following temperatures?

zimovet [89]

$KNO_3$ at 70°C = 130 gram

NaCl at 100°C= 40 gram

NH₂Cl at 90°C= 70 gram

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature.

Amount of a substance (called the solute) that dissolves in a unit volume of a liquid substance (called the solvent) to form a saturated solution under specified conditions of temperature and pressure. Solubility is expressed usually as moles of solute per 100 grams of solvent.

Hence,

$KNO_3$ at 70°C = 130 gram

NaCl at 100°C= 40 gram

NH₂Cl at 90°C= 70 gram

If a 9.983 g sample of calcium sulfate dihyrate was heated in a crucible under the correct conditions, how many grams of water s

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2.090 g

Explanation:

The chemical formula of calcium sulfate dihydrate is CaSO₄.2H₂O.

The mass of 1 mole of CaSO₄ is 136.14 g.

The mass of 2 moles of H₂O is 2 × 18.02 g = 36.04 g.

The mass of 1 mole of CaSO₄.2H₂O is 136.14 g + 36.04 g = 172.18 g.

The mass ratio of CaSO₄.2H₂O to H₂O is 172.18 g:36.04 g. The mass of water lost upon the heating of 9.983 g of CaSO₄.2H₂O is:

9.983 g CaSO₄.2H₂O × (36.04 g H₂O/172.18 g CaSO₄.2H₂O) = 2.090 g H₂O
