Electronegativity is related to covalent bonding because when two atoms have the same electronegativity bond, they will form a pure covalent bond.
Answer:
<h2>mass = 29.25 g</h2>
Explanation:
The denisty of a substance can be found by using the formula
Making mass the subject we have
<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>
From the question
Density = 2.34 g/mL
volume = 12.50 mL
Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the mass
That's
mass = 2.34 × 12.50
We have the final answer as
<h3>mass = 29.25 g</h3>
Hope this helps you
Answer:-
Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.
Explanation:-
For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is
4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.
Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.
In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.
So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.
Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.
Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.
