Fe(s) + O2 (g) → Fe3+ O2− What most likely happens during this reaction?

Chemistry

Musya8 [376]4 years ago
5 0

Answer : The most likely happens during this reaction is, Oxidation-reduction

Explanation :

The balanced reaction will be,

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

In this reaction, neutral iron loses 3 electrons and oxidizes in (+3) state, Fe^{3+} and neutral oxygen gains 2 electrons and reduces in (-2) state,O^{2-}

When iron react with oxygen gas to give iron oxide. This process is known as iron rusting. During the reaction, oxidation-reduction process occurs.

Oxidation : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance loses its electrons. Or we can say that in oxidation, the oxidation number increases.

Reduction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance gains its electrons. Or we can say that in reduction, the oxidation number decreases.

What volume of 2.0 NaOH is required to neutralize 25.0 ml of 2.70 N H2SO4?<br>​
Viktor [21]

Write the equation for the reaction and balance it. In this case the equation is: 2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Convert the given amount to moles. Molarity, “M” is moles per liter. The given amount is 25 ml of 1.2 M H2SO4. Since Molarity uses Liters, the volume must be converted from ml to L.

Use the mole ratio in this case 2 moles of NaOH to ! mole of H2SO4

Convert the moles to the required units. In this case the required units are grams. The formula weight in grams er mole.

25 ml H2SO4 * 1L/1000 ml * 1.2 Moles/L * 2 moles NaOH/1 mole H2SO4 * 40 g NaOH/ 1 Mole NaOH

Perform these calculations and you have the answer! Timothy, When doing homework, the answer is NOT the important thing, the METHOD is! These 4 steps, combined with required changes in units will sove ANY stoichiometric problem easily.

When an isotope is radioactive it means that _________. a. the electrons have been exchanged b. the protons and electrons have e
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

d. the nucleus is decaying

Explanation:

A radioactive isotope are variations of of a chemical element with different molecular mass and an unstable nucleus that emit alpha, beta or gamma radiation. An isotope releasing an alpha particle during nuclear decay, releases two neutrons and two protons which make up the alpha particle. If an beta particle is released, then a negative charge equivalent to an electron is released from the nucleus during disintegration. Both forms of nuclear decay results in the release of Gamma radiation.

ome isotopes release an alpha particle during nuclear disintegration; an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons (equivalent to the nucleus of an atom of helium). Others release a beta particle, which is an electron, or negatively charged nuclear particle. Beta particles originate in the nucleus, presumably by breakdown of a neutron into its proton-electron components. Gamma rays are released during both types of radioactive decay.
