It can be a compound or a single element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical or physical means. There are about 117 elements, butcarbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are only a few that make up the largest portion of Earth.
I would say d.
<span>Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2
</span><span>
m(Fe2O3)=213 g
m(CO)=140 g
</span>_______________
<span>n(Fe2O3)=?
m(Fe)=?
n(Fe2O3)=?
n(CO)=?
n(CO2)=?
</span>
<span>n(Fe2O3)=m(Fe2O3) / M(Fe2O3)
n(Fe2O3)= 213 g / 159,7 gmol-1 = 1,33 mol
</span>
<span>n(CO)= m(CO) / M(CO)
n(CO)= 140 g / 28,01 gmol-1 = 4,99 mol</span>
I believe your answer would be friction...
