Chemistry

rewona [7]3 years ago

The balanced equation is Fe_{2} O_{3}  + 3CO ---> 2Fe + 3CO_{2}

<u>Explanation</u>:

                        Fe_{2} O_{3}  + 3CO ---> 2Fe + 3CO_{2}

  • For solving this first of all you figure out the formula of iron(3)oxide so you look at the periodic table as you said valency of iron is 3 positive because metals are always positive and oxygen’s valency is 2 (negative because non-metal). You criss-cross both you take 2 from oxygen and put it under the iron and then 3 from iron under oxygen.
  • Valency is the number of electrons needed to be a noble gas.   Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outer shell and it needs 2 more to become noble gas.   The total number of electrons needed in every shell is 8 so to figure out valency you subtract the number of electrons in the outer shell from 8. Valency also shows how many electrons you need to share for bonding.

True or false
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

True.

But it only changes in physical change.

How?

Explanation:

The chemical reaction produces a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties. Matter is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions. The particles of one substance are rearranged to form a new substance.

In a physical change, a substance's physical properties may change.

A chemical change is a permanent change. A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. ... Some examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water, etc. A few examples of chemical change are digestion of food, burning of coal, rusting, etc.

Hope this helps!

2Ag + H2S ? Ag2S + H2 Which statement is true about this chemical equation? A) Ag (silver) is oxidized and H (hydrogen) is reduc
nadezda [96]

Answer:

It is A).

Explanation:

Silver (Ag) goes from the  pure metal to Ag+ losing 1 electron so it is oxidised.

The hydrogen ion  gains electrons and is reduced.

Any atom is most stable when it’s outermost energy level contains
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

Atoms are at their most stable when their outermost energy level is either empty of electrons or filled with electrons. Sodium atoms have 11 electrons. Two of these are in the lowest energy level, eight are in the second energy level and then one electron is in the third energy level.
