The 1st law of thermodynamics doesn't specify that matter can be created nor destroyed, but that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed though it can be changed from one form to another.
Answer:
When magma cools, crystals form because the solution is super-saturated with respect to some minerals. If the magma cools quickly, the crystals do not have much time to form, so they are very small. If the magma cools slowly, then the crystals have enough time to grow and become large.
Explanation:
6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → 3 Na₂O + 6 Fe
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Method One: Refer to electron transfers.
Oxidation states:
- Na: from 0 to +1; loses one electron.
- Fe: from +3 to 0; gains three electrons.
Each mole of Fe₂O₃ contains two Fe atoms and will gain 2 × 3 = 6 electrons during the reaction. It takes 6 moles of Na to supply all those electrons.
6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → ? Na₂O + ? Fe
- There are two moles of Na atoms in each mole of Na₂O. 6 moles of Na will make 3 moles of Na₂O.
- There are two moles of Fe atoms in each mole of Fe₂O₃. 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ will make 2 moles of Fe.
6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → 3 Na₂O + 2 Fe
Method Two: Atoms conserve.
Fe₂O₃ has the largest number of atoms among one mole of all four species in this reaction. Assume <em>one</em> as its coefficient.
? Na + <em>1</em> Fe₂O₃ → ? Na₂O + ? Fe
There are two moles of Fe atoms and three moles of O atoms in each mol of Fe₂O₃. One mole of Fe₂O₃ contains two moles of Fe and three moles of O. There are one mole of O atom in every mole of Na₂O. Three moles of O will go to three moles of Na₂O.
? Na + <em>1</em> Fe₂O₃ → <em>3</em> Na₂O + <em>2</em> Fe
Each mole of Na₂O contains two moles of Na. Three moles of Na₂O will contain six moles of Na.
<em>6</em> Na + <em>1</em> Fe₂O₃ → <em>3</em> Na₂O + <em>2</em> Fe
Simplify the coefficients. All coefficients in this equation are now full number and relatively prime. Hence the equation is balanced.
6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → 3 Na₂O + 2 Fe
The segment that represents melting is time (minutes) and temperature.
From the reaction above, the rate is given by the following formula:
r = -(1/2) dA / dt = - dB / dt = (1/3) dC/ dt
Note that A and B charge is negative due to they decrease with time
given dA / dt = -0.110 M/s
hence dB / dt = -0.110 / 2 = -0.055 M/s
dC / dt = (-3/2) (-0.110) = 0.165 M/s
