Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of SO_4^{2-}.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, SO_4^{2-}

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in SO_4^{2-} = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

Using the balanced equation for the next few questions: 4 Fe(s) + 30 (9) - 2Fe2O3(s)
stira [4]

Answer:

0.075 moles of iron oxide would be produced by complete reaction of 0.15  moles of iron.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Fe: 4 moles
  • O₂: 3 moles
  • Fe₂O₃: 2 moles

You can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 4 moles of Fe produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃, 0.15 moles of Fe produce how many moles of Fe₂O₃?

moles of Fe_{2} O_{3} =\frac{0.15 moles of Fe*2 moles of Fe_{2} O_{3}  }{4 moles of Fe}

moles of Fe₂O₃= 0.075

<u><em>0.075 moles of iron oxide would be produced by complete reaction of 0.15  moles of iron.</em></u>
