Answer:

Described by a redox reaction below

Explanation:

Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.

Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.

As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:

$4 Fe (s) + 3 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 Fe_2O_3 (s)$

This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.

At room temperature (20°C} and pressure, the density of air is 1.189 g/L. An object will float in air if its density is less tha

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Explanation:

$Density =\frac{Mass}[Volume}$

Density of the air ,d= 1.189 g/L

(a) Density of the evacuated ball

Mass of the ball ,m = 0.12 g

Volume of the ball = $V=560 cm^3=560 ml=0.560 L$

$D =\frac{0.12 g}{0.560 L}=0.214 g/L$

D<d, teh evacuated ball will flaot in air.

(b) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of carbon dioxide gas = $d_1=1.830 g/L$

Mass of the carbon dioxide gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.0248 g$

Total density of filled ball with carbon dioxide gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.0248 g}{0.560 L}==2.044 g/L$

The ball filled with carbon dioxide will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(c) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of hydrogen gas = $d_2=0.0899 g/L$

Mass of the hydrogen gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.050344 g$

Total density of filled ball with hydrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.050344 g}{0.560 L}==0.3041 g/L$

The ball filled with hydrogen will float in the air because total density of filled ball is lessor than the density of an air.

(d) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of oxygen gas = $d_3=1.330 g/L$

Mass of the oxygen gas :

$1.330 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.7448 g$

Total density of filled ball with oxygen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.7448 g}{0.560 L}=1.5442 g/L$

The ball filled with oxygen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(e) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of nitrogen gas = $d_4=1.165 g/L$

Mass of the nitrogen gas :

$1.165 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.6524 g$

Total density of filled ball with nitrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.6524 g}{0.560 L}==1.3792 g/L$

The ball filled with nitrogen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

f) Mass must be added to sink the ball = m

Density of ball > Density of the air ; to sink the ball.

$\frac{0.12g +m}{0.560L}>1.189 g/L$

m > 0.54584 g

For any case weight added to ball to make it sink in an air should be grater than the value of 0.54584 grams.

At a given temperature, 2.6 atm of h2 and 3.14 atm of cl2 are mixed and allowed to come to equilibrium. the equilibrium pressure

Keith_Richards [23]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

H2 = 2.6 atm
CL2 = 3.14 atm

pressure H2 = 2.6 - x
pressure Cl2 = 3.14 - x
pressure HBr = 2x = 1.13

x = 1.13 / 2 = 0.565

pressure H2 = 2.6 - 0.565 = 2.035
pressure Br2 = 3.14 - 0.565 = 2.575

Kp = (1.13)^2 / 2.035 x 2.575

= 1.2769 / (5.240125)

= 0.24367739319195629875241525726963

= 0.244

Therefore, the Kp for the reaction at the given temperature is 0.244.

To add, the hypothetical pressure of a gas if it alone occupied the whole volume of the original mixture at the same temperature is called the partial pressure or Kp.

c3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O When 44.0 grams of propane (C3H8) under goes complete combustion, how many grams of water will be produ

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: 72 grams of water will be produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the formula:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

Mass of propane = 44 grams

Molar mass of propane = 44 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{moles of propane}=\frac{44g}{44g/mol}=1mole$

For the reaction of combustion reaction of propane, the equation follows:

$C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

1 mole of propane produces 4 moles of water.

So, 1 mole of propane will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4=4moles$ of water.

Now, to calculate the amount of water, we use equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

$4mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}$

Mass of water produced = 72 grams

Hence, 72 grams of water will be produced.

Complete the reaction, which is part of the electron transport chain. The abbreviation FMN represents flavin mononucleotide. Use

Margarita [4]

Answer:

1. NADH + H⁺ + FMN + Q ⟶ NAD⁺ + FMN + QH₂

2. The reactant that is reduced is Q

3. The charge on iron on the right side is +2, Fe²⁺

Explanation:

NADH + H⁺ + FMN + Q ⟶ NAD⁺ + FMN + QH₂

The reaction above is catalysed by NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex 1), which transfers a hydride ion from NADH to FMN, from which two electrons pass through a series of of Fe-S centers to the iron-sulfur protein N-2. Electron transfer from N-2 to Ubiquinone forms QH₂

The species in a reaction which gains hydrogen irons is reduced, Therefore, the reactant that is reduced is Q, ubiquinone to form QH₂, ubiquinol.

To determine the oxidation number of iron on the right side of the reaction below,

QH2 + 2cyt c ( Fe3+) ⟶ Q + 2cyt c(Fex) + 2H^+

Sum of charges on the left side = Sum of charges on the right side

Sum of charges on the left side = 2 *+3 = +6

Therefore 2 * x + 2= 6

2x = 6 -2 = 4

x = 4/

x = 2

Therefore the charge on iron on the right side is +2, Fe²⁺
