Balanced equation: 2Fe + 3H2O → Fe2O3 +3H2
Convert g to mols:
285/55.845 = 5.1034 mols
Mole ratio of Iron and Iron (III) Oxide: 2:1
5.1034/2 = 2.5517 mols
A gas can move around freely while a solid is hard and can’t move around freely
Answer: The correct formula is 
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as
cation and bromine
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.
H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) --> 2H2O (l)
NaHCO3(s) --> NaH 2+ (aq) + CO3 2- (aq)
NaH 2+ (aq) + H2O (l) --> Na+ (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
H2O (l) + CO3 2- (aq) --> OH- (aq) + HCO3- (aq)
