Answer:-

Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.

Explanation:-

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.

Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.

In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.

So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.

Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.

Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.

How many atoms of neon (Ne) are in a 1452.96 moles sample of neon?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

8749.73× 10²³ atoms of He

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of neon = ?

Number of moles of neon = 1452.96 mol

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

1452.96 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ atoms of He/ 1 mol

8749.73× 10²³ atoms of He

What is the action force responsible for sea floor spread?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. The motivating force for seafloor spreading ridges is tectonic plate slab pull at subduction zones, rather than magma pressure

2. Combine lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide solutions.
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2+ 2Kl →PbI2 + 2KNO3

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2

4H2O → 4H^+ + 4OH^-

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Explanation:

This question has to do with the balancing of chemical reaction equations. The general rule for balancing chemical reaction equation is that the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side of the reaction equation must be equal to the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

This principle was followed in balancing each reaction equation above. For instance, in the burning of magnesium, there are two atoms of both magnesium and oxygen on either side of the reaction equation.

Calculate the standard potential, e°, for this reaction from its equilibrium constant at 298 k. 6.47 x 10^5
Elina [12.6K]
The working equation for this is written below:

E° = 0.0592logK/n

So, we have to know the value of n first which represents the number of moles electron in the reaction. We cannot answer this because we are not given with the reaction. However, just suppose the reaction is:

Cu⁺ + 2e⁻ --> Cu

Then, n=2. Continuing,

E° = 0.0592log(6.47×10⁵)/2 =<em> 0.172 V</em>
