Explanation:
Contributing structures are the resonating structures which are formed due to the delocalization of electrons in a molecule.
The azide ion that is 
, is a symmetrical ion, all of whose contributing structures have formal charges.
Lone pair of central nitrogen atom in azide ion is in conjugation with the neighboring nitrogen atoms.
Contributing structures of azide ion are drawn in the image attached.
Answer:
162 g Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.
Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol
2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)
Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol
18.3 g C 1 mole 2 moles Fe₂O₃ 159.684 g
-------------- x ---------------- x ------------------------- x ----------------- = 162 g Fe₂O₃
12.011 g 3 moles C 1 mole
