2 answers:

6 0

A) 0 because Fe is uncharged
b) 0 because O in O2 is uncharged as well
c) +3 because each Fe atom lost 3 electrons
d) -2 because each oxygen aim gained 2 elections

Answer: a. Elemental iron (Fe) : 0

b. Elemental oxygen $(O_2)$ : 0

c. One iron atom in $Fe_2O_3$ : +3

d. One oxygen atom in $Fe_2O_3$ : -2

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

In neutral ionic compound , the oxidation states are exchanged to give the molecular formula. Thus in $Fe_2O_3$ iron has oxidation state of +3 and oxygen has oxidation state of -2.

For the reaction :

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of iron in elemental state = 0

Oxidation state of oxygen = 0

On product side:

Oxidation state of iron = +3

Oxidation state of oxygen = -2

A sealed vessel contains 0.200 mol of oxygen gas, 0.100 mol of nitrogen gas, and 0.200 mol of argon gas. The total pressure of t

babunello [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can use the mole ratio to calculate the partial pressure. The total number of moles is 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.5 moles

Now, we know that the mole fraction of the argon gas would be 0.2/0.5

The partial pressure is as follows. To calculate this, we simple multiply the number of moles by the total pressure.

0.2/0.5 * 5 = 1.0/0.5 = 2.00atm

A sample of a gas (1.50 mol) is contained in a 15.0 l cylinder. the temperature is increased from 100 °c to 150 °c. what is the

pav-90 [236]

Given:

Moles of gas, n = 1.50 moles

Volume of cylinder, V = 15.0 L

Initial temperature, T1 = 100 C = (100 + 273)K = 373 K

Final temperature, T2 = 150 C = (150+273)K = 423 K

To determine:

The pressure ratio

Explanation:

Based on ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P= pressure; V = volume; n = moles; R = gas constant and T = temperature

under constant n and V we have:

P/T = constant

(or) P1/P2 = T1/T2 ---------------Gay Lussac's law

where P1 and P2 are the initial and final pressures respectively

substituting for T1 and T2 we get:

P1/P2 = 373/423 = 0.882

Thus, the ratio of P2/P1 = 1.13

Ans: The pressure ratio is 1.13
