Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent as the hydrogen and oxygen atom has large difference in their electronegativities.

Oxygen atom is highly electronegative as compared to hydrogen atom therefore, it pulls the electrons of hydrogen atom closer towards itself.

As a result, two poles will create forming a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that high electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen is the cause of polarity in water molecules.

For the reaction represented by the equation Fe + H2O ® Fe2O3 + H2, how many moles of iron(III) oxide are produced from 285 g of
schepotkina [342]

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
