Answer is:  the value of x is 3.

Chemical reaction: Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃.

Oxidation half reaction: Fe⁰ → Fe⁺³ + 3e⁻ /×4; 4Fe⁰ → 4Fe⁺³ + 12e⁻.

Reduction half reaction: O₂⁰+ 4e⁻ → 2O⁻²/×3; 3O₂⁰+ 12e⁻ → 6O⁻².

Balanced chemical reaction: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Oxidation is increase of oxidation number, iron is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Fe) to oxidation number +3 (in rust Fe₂O₃).

What is the relationship between the concentration of particles in a solution and the solution’s vapor pressure? As solute conce
kap26 [50]

Answer:

As solute concentration increases, vapor pressure decreases.  

Step-by-step explanation:

As solute concentration increases, the number of solute particles at the surface of the solution increases, so the number of <em>solvent </em>particles at the surface <em>decreases</em>.

Since there are fewer solvent particles available to evaporate from the surface, the vapour pressure decreases.

C. and D. are <em>wrong</em>. The vapour pressure depends <em>only</em> on the number of particles. It does not depend on the nature of the particles.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Organic molecules in the form of carbohydrates are created during photosynthesis or chemosynthesis and these processes cause carbon to be removed from the atmosphere or other environment into the biosphere - the living organisms of the ecosystem.

During photosynthesis, atmospheric carbon dioxide is fixed as carbohydrates into green plants in a two-stage process that requires sunlight energy and water. The entire process can be summarized as an equation below:

6CO_2 + 6H_2O + sunlight --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

Instead of using water as a reactant, chemosynthetic organisms make use of high energy chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide to fix carbon dioxide in order to generate carbohydrates.

CO_2 + 4H_2S + O_2 -> CH_20 + 4S + 3H_2O

Both processes ensure that carbon dioxide moves from the environment into living organisms.

9. Calculate the specific heat capacity of titanium if a 43.56 g sample absorbs 0.476 kJ as its temperature changes from 20.5 oC
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

c = 0.528 J/g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of titanium = 43.56 g

Heat absorbed = 0.476 KJ  = 476 j

Initial temperature = 20.5°C

Final temperature = 41.2°C

Specific heat capacity = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 41.2°C - 20.5°C

ΔT = 20.7 °C

476 J = 43.56 g × c × 20.7 °C

476 J = 901.692 g.°C × c

c = 476 J / 901.692 g.°C

c = 0.528 J/g.°C
