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.

What mass of water is produced by the combustion 1.2 x 10^26 molecules of butane ?
podryga [215]

Answer:

17.934 kg of water

Explanation:

If balanced equation is not given; this format can come in handy.

For any alkane of the type : CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ , it's combustion reaction will follow:

2CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ + (3n+1) O₂  →  (2n)CO₂ + 2(n+1) H₂O

For butane:

2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) →  8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(l)

2 moles of butane gives 10 moles of water.

1 mol of any substance has Avogadro number(N) of molecules in it( 6.022 x 10²³)

Mass of 1 mole of any substance is equal to it's molar mass

So, if 2 x N molecules of butane gives 10 x 18 g of water.

Then  1.2 x 10²⁶ molecules will give:

\frac{1.2 \times 10^{26} \times 180}{2 \times 6.022 \times  10^{23}}

= 17.934 x 10³ g of water

= 17.934 kg of water

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH?

Explanation:

A salt is a neutral ionic compound. Let's see how a neutralization reaction produces both water and a salt, using as an example the reaction between solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The overall equation for this reaction is: NaOH + HCl → H2O and NaCl

Hope that helped.

How did the nucleus evolve through time?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The nucleus represents a major evolutionary transition. As a consequence of separating translation from transcription many new functions arose, which likely contributed to the remarkable success of eukaryotic cells. Here we will consider what has recently emerged on the evolutionary histories of several key aspects of nuclear biology; the nuclear pore complex, the lamina, centrosomes and evidence for prokaryotic origins of relevant players.
