The electric field, or any field such as magnetic field or gravitational field, is the strongest the closer we get to the source of the field. The concentration of field lines also increases closer to the object; these field lines are seen to be coming out of a positive charge.
Therefore, the strongest electric field is at the point where the concentration of electric field lines is the highest.
Answer:
Explanation:
- For the balanced reaction:
<em>4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s).</em>
It is clear that 4 mol of Fe react with 3 mol of O₂ to produce 2 mol of Fe₂O₃.
- Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 35.8 grams of Fe metal:
no. of moles of Fe = mass/molar mass = (35.8 g)/(55.845 g/mol) = 0.64 mol.
- Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to react with the proposed amount of Fe:
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
4 mol of Fe is needed to react with → 3 mol of O₂, from stichiometry.
0.64 mol of Fe is needed to react with → ??? mol of O₂.
∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (3 mol)(0.64 mol)/(4 mol) = 0.48 mol.
- Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the information:
<em>It is known that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at standard P and T (STP).</em>
<em></em>
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
1 mol of O₂ occupies → 22.4 L, at STP conditions.
0.48 mol of O₂ occupies → ??? L.
∴ The no. of liters of O₂ = (0.48 mol)(22.4 L)/(1 mol) = 10.752 L.
