It is:
Iron (III) Oxide

As a transition metal iron can have two oxidation states <span>F<span>e+</span>2</span> ferrous or <span>F<span>e+</span>3</span>ferric.

Oxygen has an oxidation state of <span>O<span>−2</span></span>.

In the case of <span>F<span>e2</span><span>O3</span></span> the oxidation states are balanced when 2 <span>F<span>e<span>+3</span></span></span> ions pair with 3 <span>O<span>−2</span></span>.

<span>F<span>e2</span><span>O3</span></span> is Iron (III) oxide where the roman numeral informs us that the charge on the iron is +3, the common name would be ferric oxide.

If the iron was <span>F<span>e<span>+2</span></span></span> and the oxygen <span>O<span>−2</span></span>, the formula would be FeO Iron (II) oxide or ferrous oxide.

How many molecules are there in 2.30g of NH3
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

8.13x10^22 molecules

Explanation:

We can use the Avogadro's number(6.022 x 10^23 units / mole)

2.30 g NH3 (1 mol / 17.03 g ) (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 8.13x10^22 molecules

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!
