<h3>Answer:</h3>

Balanced equation: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

Moles of oxygen gas = 9 moles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question;

  • We first write the balanced equation between iron metal and Oxygen
  • The balanced equation is given as;

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

  • We are given 6 moles of Fe₂O₃

We are required to determine the number of moles of oxygen needed to form 6 moles of Fe₂O₃.

  • From the equation, 3 moles of oxygen gas reacts to produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃
  • This means, the mole ratio of O₂ to Fe₂O₃ is 3 : 2

Therefore; Moles of O₂ = Moles of Fe₂O₃ × 3/2

Hence, moles of oxygen = 6 moles × 3/2

                                         = 9 moles

Thus, Moles of Oxygen needed is 9 moles

When two atoms form a covalent bond, they share electrons from all of their orbitals. All of their orbitals, in turn, combine to
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

It's false.

Explanation:

Molecular orbital theory states that the number of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that overlap. The lowest energy molecular orbital is formed when two atomic orbitals that are in phase overlap, forming a bonding molecular orbital. However, another molecular orbital is also formed, called an anti-binding orbital.

So if an "n" quantity of atomic orbitals is combined, an "n" quantity of molecular orbitals is formed.

Have a nice day!
