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.

4. Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product
dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

4.                 limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.

6.  Sodium salicylate is made from carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide.

The reactants are:

                  Carbon dioxide and sodium phenoxide

The product is:

         Sodium salicylate

. Consider the following half-reactions:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

d. Fe(s) and Al(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In the redox reaction, it is also known  

Reducing agents are substances that experience oxidation  

Oxidizing agents are substances that experience reduction

The metal activity series is expressed in voltaic series  

<em>Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Ag-Pt-Au  </em>

The more to the left, the metal is more reactive (easily release electrons) and the stronger reducing agent  

The more to the right, the metal is less reactive (harder to release electrons) and the stronger oxidizing agent

So that the metal located on the left can push the metal on the right in the redox reaction  

The electrodes which are easier to reduce than hydrogen (H), have E cells = +

The electrodes which are easier to oxidize than hydrogen have a sign E cell = -

So the above metals or metal ions will reduce Pb²⁺ (aq) will be located to the left of the Pb in the voltaic series or which have a more negative E cell value (greater reduction power)

The metal  : d. Fe(s) and Al(s)

How many Mg atoms are present in 170g of Mg
PIT_PIT [208]
In order to calculate the number of atoms, we must first know the number of moles present. And
moles = (mass present) / (molecular mass)
Therefore, the moles of Mg present are
170 / 24 = 7.08
The number of atoms in a mole of substance is given by Avagadro's Number which is 6.02 x 10^23
Since there are 7.08 moles, there are:
7.08 * 6.02*10^23
= 4.26 * 10^24 atoms

Explain how matter changes from one state to another such as liquid
beks73 [17]

Answer:

When heated or cooled, matter can transform from one state to another. When you heat ice (a solid), it turns into water (a liquid). MELTING is the term for this transformation. When water is heated, it becomes steam (a gas).
