Iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen to form iron oxide or ferric oxide. Look at the chemical equation for this reaction: Fe + O2

→ Fe2O3
This equation is unbalanced. Which of the following is the correct balanced equation for this reaction?

A. 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
B. 3Fe + 4O2 → 2Fe2O3
C. 2Fe + 4O2 → 3Fe2O3
D. 3Fe + 3O2 → 4Fe2O3
E. 4Fe + 4O2 → 3Fe2O3

ANSWER

The correct answer is A

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

From the equation Fe + O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2O_3


<u>L.H.S.</u>               


Fe = 1                        

O  =2      

                 

<u> R.H.S</u>

Fe =2


O  =3

Now, let try to balance the oxygen atoms first,

To do this, we know the Least Common Multiples of 2 and 3 is 6


To get 6 atoms of oxygen at L.H.S  multiply 2 by 3 and on the R.H.S, multiply 3 by 2



L.H.S.                        

O=2\times3=6      


R.H.S

O=3\times2=6  


This means that, 3 should be in front of O_2 at the L.H.S and 2 should come before Fe_2O_3 in the R.H.S of the equation


Now, we have


L.H.S.                        


Fe = 1                          

O  =  6                        

<u>R.H.S</u>

Fe =4

O  =6

The equation is still not balanced since Fe is not balance

 

The Least Common Multiple of  1 and 4 is 4

Which means that we need to multiply 1 by 4 at the L.H.S and 4 by 1 at the R.H.S



L.H.S.                        

Fe=1\times4=4      


R.H.S

Fe=4\times1=4  


We now, have



<u>L.H.S.   </u>                    

Fe= 4                          

O=6                        


<u>R.H.S</u>

Fe =4

O=6

Hence the balanced equation is

4Fe +3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

each of the following cells.

Elodea Cell Cell wall _B____ Chloroplast _A___ Area of vacuole _C__ Onion Cell Cell wall _B__ Nucleus __A_ Mitochondria _C__ Cheek Epithelial Cell Cell membrane _B__ Nucleus __A_ BacteriA Bacterial Cells. View the bacterial cells on the PowerPoint and identify which cell (A, B, or C) is: Coccus ________B____ Bacillus ______A______ Spirillum ______C______ Protista Amoeba can move via the extension of finger-like projections called pseudopodia

Explanation:

Amoeba can move via the extension of finger-like projections called pseudopodia, what prevents plant cells from moving in the same fashion?

Ans: The plants that prevent the information of pseudopodia have rigid cell walls. which is unlike to amoeba.  

How does the euglena compare to both plant and animal cells (i.e. - explain what structure(s) might make it similar to plants and what structures might make it similar to animals).

Ans: Euglena are similar to plants because they both have chloroplast and are similar to animals because  neither has a cell wall.
