Answer:
We have to add 9.82 grams of calcium acetate
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Molarity of the calcium acetate solution = 0.207 M
Volume = 300 mL = 0.300 L
Molar mass calcium acetate = 158.17 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate moles calcium acetate
Moles calcium acetate = molarity * volume
Moles calcium acetate = 0.207 M * 0.300 L
Moles calcium acetate = 0.0621 moles
Step 3: Calculate mass calcium acetate
Mass calcium acetate = moles * molar mass
Mass calcium acetate = 0.0621 moles * 158.17 g/mol
Mass calcium acetate = 9.82 grams
We have to add 9.82 grams of calcium acetate
Answer: 
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 iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as
cation and oxide
is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
